Property Description
The property occupies the former site of the original Reformed First Church of Bloemendaal, which burned in 1846 before being rebuilt nearby in the hamlet of Bloomington in 1847. The land traces back to the prominent Hardenbergh family, descendants of Johannes Hardenbergh, 1 of 6 recipients of the original 1.3-million-acre land grant in the region. Following the church fire, the Hardenbergh family reclaimed the property and transformed it into a summer retreat known as the Hardenbergh House -- 1 of approximately 20 vacation cottages that formed a seasonal colony for visitors escaping New York City.
That spirit of hospitality continued into modern times. From 1998 to 2009, the property operated successfully as The Hardenbergh House Bed & Breakfast, welcoming guests drawn to the beauty and tranquility of the region. With proper permission from the town an air bnb or a working B & B could be possible.
From your bluestone patio enjoy a delightful pond, mature flowering trees and shrubs--including redbud, catalpa, forsythia, and two varieties of fragrant lilacs--create a succession of blooms from early through late spring. Gardens filled w/ aromatic Asiatic lilies perfume the air throughout the warmer months, while the backyard frequently carries gentle natural fragrances on the breeze, creating a peaceful and restorative outdoor setting.
Located just 1.5 miles from the scenic Rosendale Trestle rail trail, the property offers the perfect balance of country serenity and convenient access to some of the Hudson Valley's favorite destinations. Within five minutes are a surprising variety of highly regarded local restaurants, including Garden Cafe for exceptional Middle Eastern and Egyptian cuisine, Soy for Japanese-inspired specialties, Creekside Bar & Bistro with its beautiful creekside patio and classic American fare, as well as favorites like The Big Cheese and The Truss & Trestle diner. Grocery shopping, bus station/bus line, gas, dry cleaning, and local services are all conveniently nearby.
Only ten minutes away, the historic Kingston Strand waterfront district offers year-round festivals, parks, boutique shopping, live music, and an outstanding dining scene.
