Introducing The Rifton, a fully restored and masterfully renovated 1876 stone residence. Over the years The Rifton has served as a church, a town hall, and the batiment canards for a local duck farm. The front door opens into a vestibule created from bedrock and imported terrazzo tile with a storage cave tucked behind an oversized barn door. The 2nd level of The Rifton is comprised of a massive entertaining space with soaring 30ft ceilings and custom stone and steel firepit. Views of nature abound through the 32 original windows set in natural stone walls and 16ft glass sliding doors that lead to a deck perched 3 stories above the Walkill river. Lofted above the great room is the vaulted atelier space dubbed 'The Tower' as it spans five stories. The Tower is a mix of stone & steel with open common areas connected by a spiral staircase. The former church steeple offers a meditative space with long range views of the river, the surrounding countryside, and the property below.
