Own an authentic piece of history with the iconic Hambletonian House, a unique Victorian estate built in the 19th century by William Rysdyk, original owner of Hambletonian 10 — the legendary sire who shaped nearly every modern Standardbred racehorse.
Perfectly positioned on nearly 3 acres of private, hilltop land in the heart of Chester, New York, this meticulously maintained property offers a rare blend of historic grandeur, modern comfort, and income-generating potential. The main residence boasts seven bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, showcasing timeless Victorian craftsmanship throughout, including soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, intricate moldings, marble fireplaces, pocket doors, and elegant architectural details that have been thoughtfully preserved.
Ample living and entertaining spaces flow seamlessly to outdoor areas, ideal for gatherings, events, or the tranquil enjoyment of the serene surroundings. The property's versatility is enhanced by a separate second building, featuring a well-appointed two-bedroom apartment, perfect for guest accommodations, rental income, or on-site management.
A detached pool house with a full bathroom and sauna introduces a resort-style element, creating a private oasis ideal for relaxation, wellness, or entertaining. The current owner has taken exceptional care in maintaining and enhancing the property, including significant upgrades to key mechanical systems and the roof, ensuring both historical integrity and modern reliability. This thoughtful stewardship allows the next owner to enjoy the property with confidence, preserving its legacy.
With strong potential as a hospitality property, the estate presents flexible opportunities for use as a bed and breakfast, short-term rental, private residence, or boutique event venue. Its rich provenance, combined with strong visual appeal and a unique story, creates a standout offering that cannot be easily replicated in today's market.
Situated in close proximity to local amenities, transportation, and the charm of the surrounding area—and just 45 miles from Manhattan—the property offers both privacy and accessibility. Whether you seek a distinguished primary residence, a lifestyle investment, or a legacy property with unparalleled historical significance, Hambletonian House represents a truly rare opportunity.
