If you love clever design, light, bright rooms and touches of the English countryside, this converted dairy barn in Accord, NY is sure to please. It just hit the market at a whopping $2,875,000, so be prepared to spend big on this majestic estate just down the road from the 1800s Kingston Farmhouse we recently profiled.
“This circa 1920 dairy barn has been transformed into an incredible private residence with soaring ceilings and light-filled spaces,” begins the listing for 229 Bone Hollow Rd in Accord, NY. “Set on a bucolic country road just 90 minutes north of NYC, the barn sits on a 6+ acre lot with no neighbors in sight.”

“The landscape is made up of rolling hillside, open fields and a deep forest. Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a wide, open staircase leading you up to the second floor. The original hay loft has been converted to a giant great room with incredible ceiling height, skylights and exposed beams.”
With over 4,600 square feet, four bedrooms and four bathrooms, there’s plenty of space to spread out, entertain guests and work from home (if that’s your thing).
“On the first floor you’ll find an open kitchen with Plain English-designed cabinetry and beautiful antique cupboards. Soapstone countertops have been paired with unlaquered brass hardware.”
Open wall space and loads of storage provide room for your collection of vintage cast iron skillets, tea pots and sake cup sets.
“French doors at the far end open to a beautiful view of wildflower meadows and a woodstove sits in the corner. An amazing space to gather, celebrate, or enjoy the peace and quiet that this property offers.”
“A woodburning fireplace sits in the corner and the open concept creates another wonderful space to congregate and relax, all anchored by a large central island.”
“From the kitchen, one enters a beautiful sunroom, there is a half bath tucked off to the side and a wall of glass leads one down the hallway into what the current owners use as a master suite. It is large and light-filled with a walk-in closet and full bath tiled in green zelliege.”
Two sets of magical-feeling french doors lead outside where you’ll find an outdoor shower and an impressive fenced-in vegetable garden. There are also loads of zone 6 perennials found throughout the grounds and hiding spots for some of the rarest hummingbirds in the northeast.

A woodburning fireplace sits in the corner of the main floor. The open concept creates another wonderful space to congregate and relax—and it’s all anchored by a large central island.
In this original section of the barn, there are four bedrooms, one ensuite, and one additional full bath.
Each bedroom has distinct design choices and character ranging from light and bright to mildly nautical in nature. There are even black-coated moody bedrooms that somehow still feel bright and inviting.
It’s all the extra little farmhouse touches that have our hearts dancing, though. The sunroom off the main floor has built-in shelves for a collection of all your best indoor house plants. Storage options abound in trendy-but-timeless brass finishes and natural wood.
Several types of ivy can be found climbing the home’s exterior. Living here or coming up from the city on weekends genuinely feels like a slice of Narnia-style living.
Around the corner from this gorgeous converted dairy barn, you’ll find Inness, an amazing hotel and restaurant with a spa opening soon in Accord, NY. The house is also just 10 minutes by car to Stone Ridge and 20 minutes to Kingston’s main shopping area with the Hudson Valley Mall.
It’s a private oasis just 1.5 hours to NYC by car. Did you ever expect to see such a posh dairy barn?
And if you’re feeling particularly enterprising, you could probably make a tidy sum renting this home out on Airbnb or VRBO. Just thing of all the weddings!
