Circa 1800. Situated in historic Mill Point along the Schoharie River, this Federal brick home is surrounded by a peaceful country setting with 300 acres of spacious lawns, blooming perennials, hay fields, woods and the Blue Bank cliff. A living room and adjoining library boasts relaxed seating by the fire. Peach trees shade the private entrance to spacious guest bedrooms that include gas fireplaces. Full gourmet breakfasts may be a selection of the following: basil and vegetable strata, fresh-picked red raspberries and cream, portobello mushrooms with fresh sliced tomatoes and herbed scrambled eggs, homemade sage sausage, crispy parmesan potatoes, buttery currant scones, John's famous cornbread and June's renowned buttermilk blueberry pancakes. Fall is a wonderful time for hiking the cliff and old stagecoach trail behind the farm.

Historic Interest

Francis Saltz, a pioneer in the Mohawk Valley was the first to own the land on which this historic home was built. His gravesite has not survived, although it is said by genealogists to be in back of the house between the barn and the pond. The Federal brick house, once a tavern, was built by John Voorhees during the years 1790-1819. A stagecoach trail (dugway) is still accessible on the blue bank cliff behind the house. Reportedly, the home was a stop on the underground railroad.
