REALTOR COMMENTS
Fixer Upper Manor For Sale, an iconic Claverack landmark, is being offered for sale for the first time in over 30 years. With a commanding presence in the hamlet of Claverack, the historic main house, built in 1869, is the last remaining building of the Claverack College.
The college closed in 1902, and the property has been a private residence, a home for children, a co-ed boarding school and, from 1988 to present, the working studio and residence of the fantastical Russian artist, Mihail Chemiakin. Chemiakin used the raw space of the 7400 sq ft main house as his painting and sculpture studio and the former school theater/auditorium as his residence and additional studio space.
Shaped by Chemiakin’s vision, and dotted with his sculptures, the park-like 12 acre property also includes a caretakers cottage, a cabin, 2 guesthouses and a pond. Located in the center of Claverack, the property is minutes from Hudson and the AMTRAK station and only 2 hours from NYC.
