31 Upper Whitfield Accord, NY 12404

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this extraordinary stone residence is among the rarest surviving examples of early Hudson Valley architecture. One of the earliest stone houses built in 1770 that remains in Accord stands as a remarkable testament to craftsmanship, history, and enduring beauty.
Set on 17 acres spanning both sides of a quiet country road, the property unfolds as a private landscape of ponds, gardens, open meadows, and mature trees. A classic barn, sugar shack, and winding stone pathways enhance the sense of place, while the natural surroundings create a sanctuary for wildlife and the simple pleasures of country living. Watch turtles bask by the pond, listen to frogs on summer evenings, marvel at fireflies drifting across the fields, and enjoy some of the area's most spectacular stargazing.
A charming stone walkway leads to the home, where the elegance of its historic architecture is immediately apparent. Meticulously crafted stonework, preserved and maintained through generations, creates a striking first impression and speaks to the property's rich heritage. This home stands boldly on the hillside.
Inside, history and sophistication exist in perfect balance. Hand-hewn beams, wide board flooring, and beautifully preserved period details lend warmth and authenticity throughout the home. Spacious living areas accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations, while large windows fill the interiors with natural light and frame views of the surrounding landscape.
The living room is anchored by a wood stove that provides warmth and character throughout the seasons. Nearby, the farmhouse kitchen serves as the heart of the home, complete with a wood stove, dining nook, and the timeless charm expected of a property of this caliber.
An adjoining nineteenth-century cottage offers exceptional flexibility. Whether incorporated into the main residence, used as private guest accommodations, or as an income-producing rental, it expands the property's possibilities while preserving its historic character.
The home offers four inviting bedrooms and four bathrooms, each thoughtfully updated with finishes that complement the original architecture. The result is a seamless blend of old-world charm and modern comfort.
A spacious two-car garage provides ample room for vehicles, storage, a workshop, or a creative studio. While the setting feels wonderfully secluded, some of the Hudson Valley's most sought-after destinations are just minutes away, including Inness, Westwind Orchard, and Arrowood Farms Brewery. Krom Stone Farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to steward an irreplaceable piece of Hudson Valley history while enjoying all the comforts of modern country living.
