Overview
Welcome to the Daniel Bull House, a remarkable 1787 estate and one of the Hudson Valley’s finest examples of early American stone architecture. Originally built by one of Hudson Valley’s founding families, this historic stone residence has been masterfully restored, blending old world craftsmanship with modern luxury. Ideally located just minutes from town yet offering the serenity of a private retreat, Daniel Bull House stands as a testament to traditional American heritage, and the sophisticated vision of its current stewards.Sited on over 31 pastoral acres across two parcels, this three-story home offers four spacious bedrooms, three-and-a-half luxurious bathrooms, a screened-in porch, and a heated saltwater pool overlooking an idyllic landscape. Step inside to discover a warm and inviting library anchored by one of five grand fireplaces. Natural light floods the interior spaces throughout the day–a rare feature for a stone house of this era. Period details are present throughout—from wide-plank hardwood floors and handcrafted built-ins to original millwork and a hearth in the chef’s kitchen that evokes another era. While historic charm takes center stage, no expense was spared in updating the home’s infrastructure. Energy-efficient throughout, the home features fully upgraded mechanicals, a state-of-the-art Buderus heating system, radiant flooring, and an outdoor furnace that can heat both the house and pool for added comfort and peace of mind.Outside, the grounds showcase bluestone patios, mature gardens, stone terraces, complemented by striking outdoor sculptures. Multiple outbuildings enhance the estate’s charm, including a modern, 45’ x 75’ garage offering potential as a studio, workshop, or guest quarters. Just 90 minutes from Manhattan, Daniel Bull House offers private solace while being a short drive to local amenities and endless upstate outdoor adventures. This lovely country retreat presents a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of American history, thoughtfully preserved and enhanced for modern living.
