霍克斯基爾是一個稀有的房產——這是一處典型的哈德遜谷鄉村別墅，遠離鄉間小路，坐落在40英畝的寧靜土地上，通過一條長長的樹林環繞的私人車道進入。這棟房屋位於一個小山丘上，周圍環繞著雄偉的樹木，前方蜿蜒的小溪穿越草地，流向羅利夫·詹森溪。在房子的後面，一個大型的石板露台上，擺放著美麗的成熟植物、深色的電動遮陽篷和磨石噴泉，通向一個輕微傾斜的草坪，展現出浪漫的八英畝私人湖泊的廣闊而神奇的景色。在這裡，你可以在夏天釣魚、嬉戲和划船，或在冬天盡情滑冰！這個湖泊、草地、溪流和周圍森林裡生活著豐富的野生動物，包括火雞、鹿、白鹭、貓頭鷹和各種水鳥，更不用說龜、魚和偶爾見到的狐狸。

霍克斯基爾被稱為利維斯頓租戶房屋，是1859年由利維斯頓家族在該地區建造的四棟房屋之一，作為對一些珍貴租戶農民的禮物。英國王室在1684年授予羅伯特·利維斯頓大量土地的專利，這片土地被稱為利維斯頓莊園，使得這個家族幾代人來一直是南哥倫比亞縣的主要莊園家族。到了19世紀中期，當霍克斯基爾建成時，莊園制度因為租戶暴動和美國向西擴張而逐漸衰退，使得在一大片土地上建造一個漂亮的家成為對一位珍貴工人的合適贈禮。

原始家居的核心依然存在，設有迎賓的前廊、中心走廊的建築格局、讓陽光充足進入的新窗戶和美麗的寬板松木地板。樓上有三間陽光明媚的臥室和兩間經過經典風格翻新的浴室。樓下的客廳配有木製壁爐和通往露台的法式門，連接著流向開放式鄉村廚房的餐區，形成了一個極佳的娛樂空間。最近的地面翻新附屬建築上有窗戶，擁有高聳的拱形天花板，配有建築木樑、內置書櫃和媒體中心，加上第三間完整的浴室。這個空間目前被用作書房/休息室，但也確實可以作為第四間位於地面的臥室。一扇從餐廳通向的大秘密門通向一個大型的全地下室，擁有充足的天花板高度，裡面包括了為整棟房屋配備的中央空調系統。

此外，這裡還有一個原始的歷史穀倉，經過更新後創建了三車庫，配有電子控制門和通往二樓的樓梯，提供額外的儲存空間或打造迷人的客房的空間。

霍克斯基爾是一個被起伏的農田和開放空間包圍的寧靜避世之處。該物業距離相鄰的紅鉤、提沃利或德爾曼鎮提供的一切僅有幾分鐘的路程，且與哈德森或萊茵貝克的火車站距離相等，以便輕鬆進出曼哈頓。

Hawkskill is a rare offering- a quintessential Hudson Valley country house 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 home, 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 , a deep electric awning and millstone fountain- leads towards a gentle sloping lawn revealing an expansive and magical view out over a romantic eight acre private lake. Here you can fish, frolic and paddle in the summer or ice skate in the winter to your hearts delight! 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 historic barn, 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
