Striking 269-acre Rufflands Farm offers a light-filled and energy-efficient 6200 s.f. farmhouse with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. The interiors date back to the nineteenth century – wideboard floors, plaster and lathe walls, 2 fireplaces and exposed hand-hewn beams. New additions to the original structure include media, office and large studio/exercise rooms.

Kitchen offers custom cabinetry, Catskill bluestone counters, Wolf cooktop, double ovens, 2 Miele dishwashers, Subzero, two sinks, island with Brazilian cherry dining extension and pantry with powder room and tiled shower. Kitchen opens to large, screened in porch with wide angled views.

First floor also has a formal dining room with fireplace, custom built-ins, wideboard floors and exposed beams. Large, formal living room has wideboard floors and exposed beams. A den with fireplace and vintage woodwork is the last of the original rooms on the first floor. At the north end of the house are a media room and an office and/or bedroom.

The original staircase leads to a second floor living room. From this room there are three bedrooms, all with vaulted ceilings and Brazilian cherry doors and framing — two, sharing a large bath that also serves as the home's laundry facility. In addition there is a full bath. The baths are finished with stone tile accented by Turkish mosaic tile and soapstone sinks from Central America.

The master en suite is accessed from two directions — original staircase and the kitchen addition. The bedroom is open from front to back which affords views of sunrises and sunsets. There are four closets. The master bath and dressing area offer a steam shower. To the rear of the suite is a sitting area and access to an expansive studio or excercise room with windows on three sides and vaulted ceilings.

Property is minutes to the TSP, Rhinebeck, Amtrak and Bard.
