About this property

If the dates are showing not blocked - this means that these dates are available and we are accepting bookings.

The Samuel Wilbur House is a stately home of outstanding beauty and balance. With huge original barns, bluestone patios, it is a 3000 sq. ft. beautifully restored, 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, exquisitely decorated home.

One of the few brick Georgians in Columbia County, the Samuel Wilbur House is a stately reminder of the past. Wilbur, a New York State Senator during the Colonial era, created a home of outstanding beauty and balance. The property features huge original barns and bluestone patios and a nearby pond and stream give the outdoor space an instant country feel. All of the finishes are of the highest quality, with many of the original details intact. The floors have over a century of patina, the moldings are hand crafted, the fireplace mantels are works of art, exposed beams and bricks lend interest to the ceilings and walls.

Updated where it's needed, particularly in the main kitchen where modern aesthetics give clean thought to this antique beauty. Wonderful new windows bring in the light and amazing old windows (the Palladian in particular) divide and cast the sun in exciting ways.

All of the baths have been reclaimed, modern tile and glass breathe new life into old spaces. A home that offers the best of old and new in a space big enough to accommodate up to 8 guests.

Sprawling deck with a BBQ, grounds, nearby stream, fully-equipped gourmet chef kitchens, living room, fireplaces, dining room, library, 4 bedrooms, 3,5 bathrooms, fresh linens and towels, WIFI, Cable TV.

Lovely Updated and Unique Historic Home

Our family spent a few days celebrating Christmas at this lovely home. The house is very spacious with 4 bedrooms and 3 full (beautifully updated) baths upstairs and a large living room for gathering. It was nicely decorated for the holidays and very comfortable. The kitchen is stunning and we can imagine how great it would be in the warmer months to fully experience the terrace and outdoor grounds! The owners are lovely and were very responsive during our stay.
