He fell for and married Malvina Dinehart, a Copake girl. The original part of this guest house was built in 1902. An addition was added to the back of the house. There are two distinct, but connected sections. The attention to detail & craftsmanship of the era are evident throughout. It is 4 BR, 4 BA + 2 Powder Rooms and over 3100 sf. All new mechanicals and a lot of the renovation has been completed. There is still work to be done. Offered at $540,000.

Rowe House

$995,000

Federal meets Fab in this circa 1810 historic manor 5 BR/5.5 BA house on 10 acres in Milan with a pond and 2 swimming pools. Inside, there’s a delightful joining of an authentic Federal wing and a 1970s-style entertainer’s paradise, “yeah, baby.” Imagine the groovy gatherings that start fireside in the large living room, and continue out into the many conversation areas and stone patios. Care for a swim? Frolic in the indoor pool with a fireside seating area, and then walk up to the conservatory deck for cocktails. Or, take a dip outside next to the poolhouse, which would make an equally great apartment/office/studio with sauna, or spontaneous dance lounge with a wood-burning fireplace. At the end of the night, retreat to your sumptuous master suite, with double master bathrooms, double sinks, and double dressing areas. The Federal wing is perfect for guests, with 4 cozy bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms, and its own sitting and dining areas. The stylish kitchen is the center of the house that brings everyone together (as any great kitchen should). Outside, there’s a detached oversized 5 bay garage for that classic car collection, a reflecting pond, and charming country views.

Sample Zillow Reviews:

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Natalia is a terrific realtor! She knows Columbia County like the back of her hand and was very candid with us when it came to the pros and cons of each house. She guided us through the whole discernment process of buying a second home and even though I searched the internet a lot, she is the one who found the home we eventually purchased because she knew what we wanted... she is a fierce negotiator, even though she is very friendly and laid-back with her clients. I would recommend her to everyone.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

These stars accurately reflect Natalia's expertise… She met with my wife and I an we both immediately felt comfortable with her knowledge and her professionalism… Overall, she was great to work with and we would highly recommend her.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Natalia.. We want to thank you for the professional manner in which you listed and marketed our property, made suggestions to make it more appealing... scheduled regular showings and provided honest feedback.. We also appreciated your regular email contact and prompt responses. We will certainly recommend Preferred Country Properties to anyone looking for a real estate agent..

The Ghent Playhouse a community treasure

We’ve been around a long time and with your help we’ll be back with dramas, musicals, comedies, and the beloved Panto.

For 46 seasons the Ghent Playhouse has proudly been Columbia County’s premier community theater.

While the road of Season 46 has not been an easy one, we are hoping to reopen some time in 2021.

We are a strong organization with a dedicated following— one of the few community theaters of its caliber created and provided for by volunteers – a true testament to what community can do!

The COVID-19 pandemic has been the worst hardship the Ghent Playhouse has faced to date. In March, we were forced to close our doors mid-season, placing a heavy burden on our organization’s finances.

In addition to expenditures related to our productions, payments to cover insurances, maintenance, utilities, etc. continue, whether or not our theater is running at full operating level.

For arts organizations like the Ghent Playhouse, the financial impact of having to cancel a year or more of theater is significant, and is why we are counting on community support for our “Raise the Curtain” fundraising campaign, to help us recover and successfully reopen in 2021.

Please consider making a donation today either by going to our website ghentplayhouse.org, sending a check (PO Box 64, Ghent NY 12075) or by calling the theater at 518-392-6264.

With thanks in advance, THE GHENT PLAYHOUSE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Sam Reilly, Cathy Lee-Visscher, Kelly Mackerer, Linda Murawski, Vivian Wachsberger, Randi Lant and Mark Schane-Lydon The Ghent Playhouse is a 501C3 non-profit community theater
