1695 Farmhouse at Core of Elegant Elizaville Homestead

A house with roots reaching back to the earliest years of the Hudson Valley’s European settlement, 202 Buckwheat Bridge Road in Elizaville (Town of Germantown) is a late-17th-century colonial built around 1695, standing today on 8.8 acres of meadow, orchard, and woodland

The house spans roughly 4,020 square feet, with four bedrooms and three baths, and retains the sense of permanence that comes with structures from this era—thick walls, super-wide floorboards, fireplaces, and rooms scaled for daily life. Over centuries of evolution, the house has expanded while preserving the character of an early Hudson Valley farmhouse. 

The property functions as a small country compound. The acreage includes a pond large enough for winter skating, a greenhouse, and an orchard, along with a creek that borders the southern edge of the land. Several outbuildings offer studio or workshop potential.

Open lawn transitions into cultivated garden areas and then into woodland edges, creating a sequence of spaces suited to gardening, outdoor meals, or simply quiet walks. Despite its rural setting, the property remains within a few minutes reach of Germantown, Tivoli, and Hudson.

202 Buckwheat Bridge Road, Elizaville (Town of Germantown) is listed for $1,950,000 by Patricia A. Hinkein Realty.
