About this home
A rare architectural icon, The Rifton is a masterfully restored stone church originally built in 1876, now transformed into an extraordinary single-family residence with a dedicated gallery/studio/work-from-home wing. Nestled in Ulster Park, just minutes from Kingston, this one-of-a-kind property has garnered international acclaim, with features in Dwell Magazine, Inside+Out Upstate and leading design publications - celebrated for its sensitive preservation and inspired reinvention.
Inside, the dramatic great room unfolds beneath soaring 30-foot ceilings, where exposed beams and original rough-hewn stone walls create a breathtaking sense of scale and history. An open wood-fired stone hearth anchors the space, inviting intimate gatherings beneath cathedral proportions. A wall of glass opens to a deck perched in the trees with views stretching toward the Wallkill River - blurring the line between nature, history and modern luxury.
The home offers four bedrooms across three floors - two of which are en suite, balancing grandeur with warmth, livability and privacy. A fully renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances provides access to the side yard for al fresco dining. Updated bathrooms introduce modern comfort with a restrained, timeless touch, while details such as a classic clawfoot tub nod to the building’s 19th-century origins.
An entire wing unfolds as a dramatic, light-filled studio and gallery space, defined by soaring stone walls, exposed beams, and multiple mezzanine levels connected by a striking steel spiral stair. The volume and layout naturally support art installations, exhibitions, workshops, wellness or movement practices, private events, and refined professional use, offering rare flexibility rarely found in a single-family residence. Visually stunning yet highly functional, this extraordinary space allows creativity, hosting, and work to coexist seamlessly -making The Rifton a true destination for artists, educators, and visionaries.
Perfectly positioned between New Paltz, Rosendale, and Kingston, The Rifton sits at the crossroads of the Hudson Valley’s most dynamic cultural and outdoor destinations. Enjoy easy access to waterfront destinations + dining, the Kingston marina, historic districts, and an extensive network of hiking trails - all within 90 minutes of NYC and a convenient drive to Metro-North.
At once a home, a creative sanctuary, and a celebrated work of adaptive reuse, The Rifton offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rent a piece of Hudson Valley history for the season, lease term flexible (30 days plus.)...
