190 Walkers Mills Germantown, NY 12526

A rare and historically significant Hudson Valley estate set within a matchless idyllic landscape of cascading water, mature woodlands, and over 20 acres adjoining protected conservation land. The property comprises two extraordinary structures -- a former grist mill and barn -- each transformed into its own residence.

Known as ''Walker's Mill,'' the site has evolved over generations since its development by members of the Livingston family over 200 years ago. Celebrated interior designer David Whitcomb acquired the long-abandoned ca-1800 mill in the 1960s and undertook a visionary transformation that would become one of the defining creative projects of his career. Published in Architectural Digest and admired within the design community, Whitcomb's adaptive reuse preserved the spirit of the original industrial structure through the incorporation of salvaged timber framing, locally gathered fieldstone, the historic waterwheel and other reclaimed architectural elements.

Together with the converted barn residence, the ensemble forms an exceptional compound where history, architecture, landscape, and artistic legacy exist in complete harmony. Both deeply private and profoundly evocative, Walker's Mill represents a singular opportunity to steward an important historic property within one of the Hudson Valley's most enchanting natural settings.
