Our current tenants are leaving to move closer to family, so we are looking to fill the bright and calm three-bedroom, one-bath, semi-furnished rental unit on the upper floor of our two-unit 1860s farmhouse on 3 acres. The space is available starting January 1.
The location offers the best of both worlds: privacy and convenience. New Paltz, Poughkeepsie, Stone Ridge, Kingston, Rosendale, Kerhonkson, Rhinebeck, Beacon, and Newburgh are all an easy drive. The apartment is close to hiking, orchards, coffee shops, grocery stores, farmers' markets, Rail Trail paths, and all that the Hudson Valley has to offer. We are 15 minutes by car from the Poughkeepsie train station and the Metro North.
All utilities are included in the rent (so you never have to deal with Central Hudson) and there is plenty of parking in the circular drive.
The apartment has a washer/dryer, mini-split A/C units, dishwasher, fridge, a large tub, and microwave; the unit is only accessible by stairs to the upper floor and is very private.
Modest discount available in exchange for house and grounds care and/or property management tasks. We're diligently working to convert more of the groomed lawn into a native flower meadow and would love help. As with many old houses, we are close-ish to the road, but we appreciate the convenience.
LGBTQIA+ welcoming; pets considered on a case-by-case basis; no smoking inside please. Preference is for people in transition to the area or similar as I would like the option to offer the space to my senior parents in the coming years. Not currently permitted for short-term rentals that are shorter than 90 days.
**Seasonal rentals also considered.
Homeowner living onsite (she/they)
I work remotely for an environmental non-profit and travel frequently for work. When I'm at home in Hudson Valley, I enjoy exploring nature, planting native plants, and making climate-friendly home improvements. I occupy the lower unit and my partner and my partner's dog both visit regularly.
