Claverack, N.Y. | $3.95 Million

A 1766 Dutch farmhouse with five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, on 143 acres

This 18th-century brick house, which includes later stone and post-and-beam additions, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was meticulously restored by the seller, Nancy Fuller, a chef who used the property as the main filming location for her Food Network show, “Farmhouse Rules.” The restoration focused on preserving woodwork, fireplaces and outbuildings, including a brick summer kitchen, a barn and an icehouse.

The property is about a 10-minute drive from the center of Hudson, offering easy access to shopping, dining and an Amtrak train station. Driving to Albany takes 45 minutes. New York City is less than three hours away.

Size: 6,485 square feet

Price per square foot: $609

Indoors: A semicircular driveway links this property to the street. The front door is at the top of a wooden stoop framed by twin benches. It opens into a foyer with wide-plank floors and a wooden staircase to the second floor.

To the left is a living room with a fireplace that has a Dutch-tile surround and is framed by wood paneling painted a period-appropriate blue. Across the foyer is a dining room with beamed ceilings and an open cooking hearth.

Three bedrooms are on the second level of this part of the house, off a small landing at the top of the stairs. Two are large enough to hold queen-size beds; one is sized for a twin bed. They share a bathroom with original blueberry-pigmented walls, a deep soaking tub and a console-style sink.

The foyer, living and dining rooms all have access to an 1860s stone addition that sits between the original part of the house at the front and a newer addition at the back. This central space, which is used as a dining-and-sitting area, has a brick fireplace with a beehive oven. Also in this part of the house are a powder room, a pantry and stairs to a bedroom tucked under the slope of the roof.
