“The buildings are very much about a blend of design and utility. We wanted them to look striking and the idea was hatched to have half of each building looking rural with the old barn boards and the other half looking modern, which is an aesthetic that, through the process, we realized Mimi and I liked.”

— Richard Beaven

Sited on 75 lush acres, Little Ghent Farm is a dynamic and picturesque property nestled among the rolling hills of Columbia County with far-reaching views and complete privacy. Designed and built by an accomplished team of architects and builders, the property is a perfect mix of rural and modern, elegant single-family residence and working organic farmstead, exquisite beauty, and pure functionality. Reclaimed boards, mostly from century-old barns on the property, abut walls of glass and concrete floors in each of the buildings that never overpower their surrounding landscape but instead magnify and reflect it.

The 3,300 square foot, three bed, four bath main house with a handsome standing seam metal roof sits quietly perched up on a hill with perfectly framed pastoral views of sun-drenched fields and the active life on the farm below. The first floor is very social, anchored by an open kitchen and a double-height living room. Upstairs, more private and personal, there is a large master bedroom, ensuite master bath with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, two additional bedrooms, and a bath.

Down at the farm, the first building has a commercial kitchen with a spacious dining area opening to the pond and a farm store, all easily repurposed as a pool house, studio, or entertaining space. Further up the path is a chic metal-roofed center aisle barn with a farm shed and hayloft on one side and a fabulous one-bedroom guest house on the other. A third structure is a winter chicken coop/utility building that is also designed to host farm dinners and workshops.

The land, farmed with an organic philosophy, has 30 acres in fields, a lovely pond, a seasonal stream, and miles of trails that zigzag through the property.

Little Ghent Farm is ideally located, 10 minutes to Chatham, 15 to downtown Hudson, and under two and half hours from New York City.
