02 / A new chapter

Old stone.
New possibilities.

An immaculately preserved, artfully modernized stone church, transformed into a singular architectural retreat. Original beams and cathedral heights meet considered interiors and a quieter way of being.

A place for making something remarkable—or simply making yourself at home.

Original church: 1876
Square feet: 6,400

A modern fireplace and mid-century furnishings beneath original timber beams — The threshold between then and now.

The Exterior

Historic stone, a river below, and room to exhale.

An 1876 stone church, immaculately preserved and artfully transformed. Set on half an acre of private land, The Rifton rests on bedrock above the Wallkill River — a place where historic architecture meets the landscape of New York.

The Great Room

A cathedral of light, opening to the river.

A 30-foot cathedral ceiling rises above an indoor fire pit, while 6 original windows frame the surrounding landscape. A 16-foot-wide sliding door opens onto the river-facing balcony, bringing the Wallkill into the rhythm of the room.

The Kitchen/ Living Room

Morning coffee, shared meals, and fireside evenings.

Natural oak, concrete countertops, and terrazzo give the open kitchen its quiet material character. Beyond the island, original beams and cedar planks meet mid-century furniture and a concrete fireplace. Seven-foot original windows fill the living space with natural light.

The Entryway

A first encounter with stone, texture, and time.

Exposed bedrock anchors the entryway, where concrete and terrazzo meet original doors and molding. Antique farming tools lend a quiet sense of history — an introduction to the material contrasts found throughout The Rifton.

The Tower

Five levels. Unexpected perspectives.

Raw stone walls, pine floors, and exposed beams define a space made for inspiration. Escher-style stairs lead to an industrial spiral staircase, while 16 windows carry light through five levels. Multi-level give this tower its extraordinary sense of scale.

The Bedrooms

Quiet rooms beneath original beams.

Two ground-floor bedrooms pair natural oak floors and exposed beams with mid-century furniture and seven-foot original windows. Above, the third-floor loft bedroom rises to an 18-foot cathedral ceiling, with wood-beam detailing and its own private bathroom.

The Bathrooms

Sculptural concrete, warm floors, and natural stone.

An original clawfoot tub sits alongside a concrete-and-glass shower in the ground-floor bathroom, with an oak shelf and heated vintage tiles. In the master bathroom, exposed bedrock brings the landscape inside, softened by glass and heated floors.
