An aerial view of the John Bay Farm includes the 18th century homestead at the end of a long driveway that goes from one road, circles a fountain in front of the house (also shown in the lower right photo) and continues to the other entrance road. Also shown in the aerial photo are the cozy guest house on the left (also shown in the bottom left photo), the writer's cabin (or garden house) with fenced garden and the huge post-and-beam barn with new concrete floor (also shown in the middle left photo) which provides unlimited space for storage and farm activities, including horse stalls. The totally rebuilt two-story barn, with potential for studio, storage or living space is shown in the middle right photo. The lower level of this barn has a concrete floor with overhead door, useable as a garage. At the rear of this barn there is a screened porch overlooking the pond. The farm is set on 38 beautifully landscaped open and wooded acres with a stream and two spring-fed ponds, minutes from Hudson and only two hours from NYC… $789,000

The farm was once owned by John Bay, a Princeton graduate who was an influential patriot during the revolution. He later established a thriving law practice in the hamlet of Claverack and was elected to the New York State Assembly (1779-1795)
