Just a few miles up the Hudson River from the Wappingers Falls, NY mansion we recently profiled is an absolutely stunning Valatie, NY equestrian estate. And for the first time in years, it’s on the market and ready to be yours. Just bring your ponies.
It’s just about 90 minutes north of New York City by car, making it a weekend and holiday paradise for horse lovers. The ride is even shorter when you take the Metro North train from the city and near the eclectic yurt houses and shopping towns of the Hudson Valley.

“Welcome to Valley View, a premier equestrian estate in the Hudson Valley,” shares the property listing for 540 County Route 17 in Valatie, NY. “Follow the quarter-mile driveway to discover a private 80-acre oasis of rolling hills, green paddocks, two private ponds, mature gardens, pool and panoramic views.”
And at $2,995,000 it’s a relative bargain for all it offers.
“The property, featuring a thoughtfully updated colonial manor house, barns, and facilities, blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of the setting. Valley View offers an idyllic retreat, combining timeless elegance and modern luxury for horse enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.”
Light, bright rooms fill every corner of this impressive home that feels like a page out of a storybook.
The colonial-style home is almost gallery-like with white walls drenched in rich textures and paneling, vaulted ceilings and natural wood and black detailing throughout.
The stark contrasting offers timeless elegance that won’t require renovations or updating for years. There’s loads of space to entertain, too. The kitchen is large and loaded with top-of-the-line appliances ready to feed the droves of guests this home is sure to attract.
There’s plenty of space for all your vintage cast iron skillets, your collection of adorable sake cup sets and cast iron tea pots. Bring the whole collection.
Multiple dining spaces offer endless options—big and small—for all your holidays and weeknight dinners. We’re obsessed with the green velvet dining chairs that offer a pop of rich, bright elegance. This is clearly one of the many times velvet is right.
And if you love the open concept dining and living spaces, you’ll fawn over the bedrooms. They’re nearly-blank canvases waiting to be customized by you, but frankly, we love them just as they are.
They’re ripe with minimalist elegance.
With five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and over 5,600 square feet under air, it’s easy to get your lost in your own space here or section off a plush home office.
We love the chic built-in home bar that makes having evening cocktails a sophisticated, charming event. It’s just a few feet away from the perfectly-designed home office that boasts everything you need to connect with colleagues near and far.
If equestrial life is your thing (and we hope it is), the barn, paddocks and added horse-friendly spaces are guaranteed to impress you.
It’s a short 30-minute drive to Saugerties, just across the Hudson River, when it’s time to attend HITS, a premier horse show destination. That puts this property in high demand for short-term rentals.
“Attendees at HITS could easily pay upwards of $3,000 per night for this property. Expect $20,000 for the week and about $50,000 for the month during the height of local equestrian season,” says local short term rental expert, Yariv Hermon.
The in-ground pool is certainly a draw as well. It’s the perfect way to relax on a sunny Hudson Valley day from May through early October.
The best part? All the furniture is negotiable. And the wine cellar.
