831 County Route 12

There are homes that are simply lived in, and then there are homes that live in you. Welcome to the left side unit of an extraordinary circa 1820 two family estate tucked away in New Hampton, NY, set on 2.4 acres of peaceful, pond kissed countryside. This is not a typical rental. It is for the person who wants a home with soul, privacy, and a setting that changes how your days feel. From the moment you arrive, the winding drive carries you past mature trees and wildflower gardens before opening to a property that feels like a retreat. It is quiet here, but not silent. Birds move through the trees, the pond adds that steady sense of calm, and every season brings something new to love, crisp mornings in the fall, snow covered stillness in winter, fresh blooms in spring, and long golden evenings in summer. Inside the left side unit, you will love the way the layout lives. The first floor offers the everyday spaces where life happens, a welcoming living room to unwind at the end of the day, and a kitchen that makes weeknight dinners and slow weekend mornings feel more enjoyable. Upstairs, both bedrooms and the full bathroom are tucked away for privacy, giving you that separation so many renters crave, entertaining and relaxing downstairs, restful and quiet upstairs. The home has been thoughtfully refreshed while honoring its roots, showcasing the kind of warmth and character only a home with two centuries of stories can offer. Original wide plank floors, exposed beams, and timeless details create an atmosphere you cannot recreate in newer construction. It feels collected, not cookie cutter, and it is the kind of place where you will actually want to stay in, light a candle, cook something cozy, and let the day settle. Beyond your front door is the lifestyle people move upstate for. Space to breathe, room to wander, and the simple luxury of feeling tucked away without being far from everything. You are a short drive to the region’s best farm markets, wineries, outdoor adventures, and cultural favorites like Bethel Woods, with NYC roughly 75 minutes away when you need it. Parking is available in the driveway. If you have been waiting for a rental that feels like a sanctuary, this left side unit delivers. A home with history, a setting that feels restorative, and a layout that simply makes sense for real life.
