霍克斯基尔是一个难得的机会——这是一座典型的哈德逊河谷农舍，位于乡村公路的远处，坐落在40英亩宁静的土地上，通过一条长长的私人树木成荫车道进入。房子的前面，矗立在高地上，环绕着雄伟的树木，一条潺潺的小溪蜿蜒穿过草地，向罗伊利夫·詹森溪流去。在房子的后面，一个大型的石板露台上种植着美丽的植物和磨石喷泉，通向一个轻微倾斜的草坪，展现出一个广阔而迷人的景色，俯瞰着一个浪漫的八英亩私人湖泊。湖泊、草地、小溪和周围的森林生活着丰富的野生动物，从火鸡到鹿、苍鹭、猫头鹰以及各种水鸟，更不用说海龟、鱼和偶尔出现的狐狸了。

霍克斯基尔被称为利文斯顿租户房，是该地区由利文斯顿家族于1859年为一些更有价值的租户农民所建造的四座房屋之一。英国王室在1684年将大面积土地授予罗伯特·利文斯顿。这块土地被称为利文斯顿庄园，数代以来使这个家族成为哥伦比亚县南部的管理家族。到19世纪中叶，当霍克斯基尔建成时，庄园制度在租户起义和美国向西扩张后逐渐衰退，为一位优秀的工作人员提供一座宽敞的房子成为合适的馈赠。

原始家的核心依然存在，设有一个温馨的前廊，中央大厅结构，华丽的新窗户让阳光洒入，以及美丽的宽厚松木地板。楼上有三个阳光充足的卧室和两个经典风格的浴室。楼下的客厅设有一个木燃壁炉，法式门通往露台，开放式餐区连接到乡村厨房——形成一个绝佳的娱乐空间。最近对底层附加部分的翻新配有窗户，并拥有高挑的教堂式天花板，配以建筑木梁、内置书架和媒体中心，以及一个第三个完整的浴室。该空间目前用作图书馆/书房，但也可以明显作为第四个一楼卧室使用。餐厅旁的一个秘密门通向一个大型的全地下室，房高充足，容纳着更新的系统，包括全屋中央空调。

此外，还有一座原始的谷仓结构，经过更新，创造了一个三车位的车库，配备电子控制门，以及通往二楼的楼梯，提供额外的储藏空间或创造一个迷人的客房的空间。

霍克斯基尔是一个宁静的避世之所，周围被起伏的农田和开阔的空间环绕。该物业距离邻近的雷德胡克、提沃利或杰曼镇的所有设施仅几分钟车程，同时距离哈德逊或莱茵贝克的火车站也相等，便于进出曼哈顿。

Hawkskill is a rare offering- a quintessential Hudson Valley farmhouse set far back off a country road amidst 40 serene acres and accessed by a long private tree lined driveway. In the front of the house, which stands on a rise framed out by stately trees, a bubbling brook winds its way through a meadow and off towards the Roeliff Jansen Kill. At the back of the house a large flagstone terrace -with lovely established plantings and millstone fountain- leads towards a gentle sloping lawn revealing an expansive and magical view out over a romantic eight acre private lake. The lake, meadows, stream and surrounding woods are rich with wildlife from turkey to deer, heron, owls and water birds of all kinds not to mention turtles, fish and the occasional fox sighting.
Hawkskill is referred to as a Livingston tenant house, one of four in the area built by the Livingston family in 1859 as gifts to some of their more valued tenant farmers. The English Crown granted a large patent of land to Robert Livingston in 1684. This land grant became known as Livingston Manor and made the family the controlling manorial family in southern Columbia County for generations. By the mid-19th century when Hawkskill was built, the manor system was fading after tenant revolts and American expansionism westward, making a handsome home on a large tract of land an appropriate gift to a valued worker.
The heart of the original home remains, with a welcoming front porch, center hall construction, lovely new paned windows to let the light stream in and beautiful wide plank pine floor boards. Upstairs are three sun filled bedrooms and two bathrooms renovated in a classic style. Downstairs the living room, with a wood burning fireplace and French doors out to the terrace, opens into a dining area that flows into the open plan country kitchen- making for a wonderful entertaining floor. A recent renovation to the ground floor addition is lined with windows and boasts a soaring cathedral ceiling with architectural wood beams, built in bookcases and media center, plus a third full bathroom. This space is currently used as a library/den but could certainly serve as a fourth, ground floor bedroom as well. A secret door off of the dining room leads to a large, full basement with an ample ceiling height and housing the updated systems for the house that includes central air conditioning throughout.
Additionally there is an original barn structure, which has been updated to create a three bay garage with electronically controlled doors downstairs and a stair built to the second floor, providing additional storage or the space to create a charming guesthouse.
Hawkskill is a peaceful retreat surrounded by rolling farmland and open spaces. The property is just minutes away from all that is on offer in neighboring Red Hook, Tivoli or Germantown, and equidistant to the trains at Hudson or Rhinebeck for easy access in and out of Manhattan. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
