Ang Ulster Landing ay isang kwento at kahanga-hangang dating estate ng Livingston na itinatag noong maagang 1800s, nakatayo sa 34 na ektarya sa itaas ng Hudson River na may malawak na tanawin at higit sa kalahating milya ng harapan ng ilog.

Sa isang mahaba at paikot-ikot na daan ay matatagpuan ang makasaysayang at napaka-maayos na pangunahing bahay.

Sa unang palapag, ang pormal na sala at silid-kainan ay may mga kahanga-hangang tanawin ng ilog at magkakaugnay sa pamamagitan ng mga orihinal na nakaka-arch na pinto. Ang mga French doors ay nakapila sa mga lugar ng pamumuhay, bumubukas sa nakapapaikot na porch ng bahay at may tanawin sa mga nakapaligid na hardin at bluestone dining terrace. Sa loob, ang malalim na berry-red na kusina ay isang masusing pakikipagtulungan sa pagitan ng isang lokal na artesano at ng taga-disenyo ng bahay, na may mga detalyadong gawang kahoy, AGA range, maraming naibalik na makasaysayang piraso, at sapat na espasyo para sa pantry at imbakan ng mga appliance.

Ang family room, opisina, at aklatan - kumpleto sa built-in bookshelves at masiglang indigo Antoinette Poisson wallpaper, at buong banyo/powder room ay kumukumpleto sa unang palapag.

Ang grand staircase ay umiikot, umaabot sa landing ng ikalawang palapag at ang pinakamahusay na tanawin sa bahay, na nakapaloob sa pagitan ng dalawang malalaking bintana, na ang itaas ay nawawala sa 'tower' ng bahay. Mayroong dalawang magkakaibang pakpak sa ikalawang palapag - ang pakpak ng may-ari at ang pakpak ng bisita, bawat isa ay may sarili nitong hagdang-hagdang daan at landing.

Ang pakpak ng may-ari ay tahanan ng pangunahing suite at isang silid ng mga bata. Ang pangunahing suite ay may mataas na kisame at malalaking arched na French doors na tumuturo sa isang balkonahe. Isang malawak na dressing room na may built-in na closets at fireplace at pangunahing banyo na may freestanding soaking tub na nakaharap sa Hudson, at isang alcoved toilet at shower ang kumukumpleto sa suite. Sa dulo ng pasilyo mula sa pangunahing silid-tulugan ay ang makulay na silid ng bata na may striped Swedish wallpaper at walk-in closet. Ang two-toned na banyo para sa mga bata ay may claw-foot tub na may shower surround. Ang laundry sa ikalawang palapag at isang malaking linen closet ay kumukumpleto sa pakpak ng may-ari.

Isang mahabang balkonahe ang tumatakbo sa buong pakpak ng bisita, na nag-aalok ng access sa pamamagitan ng French doors sa doble ng silid ng bisita at nag-iisang silid ng bisita. Ang dobleng silid ay may mataas na kisame, isang sobrang malaking walk-in closet, at isang buong banyo. Ang nag-iisang silid ay may detalyadong gawang kahoy at masiglang wallpaper, na may kasamang banyo sa dulo ng pasilyo.

Ang bahay ay hindi nagkukulang sa praktikal ngunit maayos na mga espasyo, na ang mga silid sa ground floor ay na-convert sa laundry room, gardening mudroom, pantry at walk-in refrigerator, pati na rin ang malaking espasyo para sa imbakan. Ang laundry at flower room ay may pintura na malalim na ochre, na may sapat na built-in cabinetry, isang XL utility sink, bukas na shelving para sa mga vase, at dalawang set ng mataas na kapasidad na washing machine at dryer. Ang gardening mudroom ay may mga exposed na makasaysayang brick walls at access sa mga nakapaligid na herb at flower gardens, imbakan ng kahoy, at ang panlabas na potting station.

Ang Ulster Landing, na may higit sa 34 na ektarya, ay may partikular na dinamikong tanawin, na may ilang mga rolling wildflower meadow, mga puno ng bulaklak na daang-taon na, mga paikot-ikot na daanan, at isang pebble beach sa kahabaan ng Hudson River.

Ang heated gunite pool, spa, at nakapaligid na bluestone terrace ay nakatayo sa tuktok ng isang burol na may tanawin ng ilog, na may panlabas na shower at isang nakatagong storage room na itinayo sa ibaba.

Ang barn na itinayo noong 1800s, na may mahabang bay na kasalukuyang nagsisilbing garahe, ay naglalaman pa rin ng maraming orihinal na gamit para sa pag-maintain at mga kagamitan para sa karwahe na hinihila ng kabayo.

Sa daan patungo sa pasukan ng ari-arian ay naroroon ang Playhouse at Gatehouse. Ang Playhouse, isang cabin na puno ng liwanag mula sa kalikasan sa kalagitnaan ng siglo, ay may malaking espasyo para sa pamumuhay, kitchenette, buong banyo, at isang hiwalay na silid na nagsisilbing gym ngunit madaling magamit bilang bunk room para sa mga pinsan, art studio, opisina, o dagdag na espasyo para sa bisita. Ang Gatehouse ay orihinal sa ari-arian at kasalukuyang isang kaakit-akit na one-bedroom cottage, na angkop para sa mga tagapag-alaga, staff, o mga bisita.

Ang bahay ay ilang minuto mula sa makasaysayang distrito ng Kingston, 15 minuto mula sa Saugerties, Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Tivoli, at Rhinecliff Amtrak train station, kalahating oras mula sa Hudson, at higit sa isang oras at kalahating mula sa New York City.

Ulster Landing is a storied & magnificent former Livingston estate established in the early 1800s, perched on 34 acres above the Hudson River with far-reaching views & more than half a mile of river frontage.
Down a long, winding driveway lies the historic and remarkably well-preserved main house.
On the 1st floor, the formal living & dining rooms have exquisite views of the river & are connected by the original arched doors. French doors line the living spaces, opening to the home's wraparound porch & overlooking the surrounding gardens & bluestone dining terrace. Inside, the deep berry-red kitchen was a painstaking collaboration between a local craftsman & the home's designer, with elaborate millwork, an AGA range, multiple restored historic pieces, & ample pantry & appliance storage.
The family room, office, library- complete with built-in bookshelves & a characterful indigo Antoinette Poisson wallpaper, and full bath/powder room completes the first floor.
The grand staircase twists around, meeting the second-floor landing & the best view in the house, framed by two large windows, the top of which disappears into the home's 'tower'. There are two distinct wings on the second floor - the owner's wing & the guest wing, each with its own staircase & landing.
The owner's wing is home to the primary suite & a kid's suite. The primary features vaulted ceilings & large arched French doors that lead out to a balcony. An expansive dressing room with built-in closets & a fireplace and primary bath with freestanding soaking tub facing the Hudson, & an alcoved toilet & shower complete the suite. Down the hall from the primary bedroom is the colorful kid's room with striped Swedish wallpaper & a walk-in closet. The two-toned kid's bath has a claw-foot tub with a shower surround. Second-floor laundry & a large linen closet complete the owner's wing.
A long balcony runs along the entire guest wing, offering access via French doors in the double guest suite & the single guest room. The double room features vaulted ceilings, an extra-large walk-in closet, & a full bath. The single room has detailed millwork & playful wallpaper, with its accompanying bathroom down the hall.
The home is not short on functional yet tasteful utility spaces, with the ground-floor rooms converted into a laundry room, gardening mudroom, pantry & walk-in refrigerator, as well as significant storage space. The laundry & flower room is painted a deep ochre color, with ample built-in cabinetry, an XL utility sink, open shelving for vases, & two sets of high-capacity washers & dryers. The gardening mudroom has exposed historic brick walls & access to the surrounding herb & flower gardens, wood storage, & the exterior potting station.
Ulster Landing, with its 34+ acres, possesses a particularly dynamic landscape, with several rolling wildflower meadows, centuries-old flowering trees, winding walking trails, & a pebble beach along the Hudson River.
The heated gunite pool, spa, & surrounding bluestone terrace sit perched on top of a hill overlooking the river, with an outdoor shower & a concealed storage room built in below.
The circa 1800s barn, with a long bay currently acting as a garage, still contains much of the property's original maintenance & horse-drawn carriage equipment.
Up the driveway towards the property's entrance are the Playhouse & the Gatehouse. The Playhouse, a light-filled mid-century cabin, features a large living space, a kitchenette, a full bath, & a separate room that serves as a gym but could easily be used as a cousins' bunk room, art studio, office, or an overflow guest space. The Gatehouse is original to the property & is currently a charming one-bedroom cottage, ideal for caretakers, staff, or guests.
The home is minutes from Kingston's historic district, 15 minutes from Saugerties, Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Tivoli, & the Rhinecliff Amtrak train station, a half hour from Hudson, & just over an hour & a half from New York City. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
