Kirton Farm was a working fruit orchard from 1956 through the early ‘90s. Situated on nearly 30 acres, with stunning views of both the Catskill and Berkshire Mountain ranges, we aim to provide a unique and ideal atmosphere in which creativity can flourish. The studio lives in a converted barn and boasts a massive live room, while the property offers accommodation and land to roam. We are located in the heart of the Hudson Valley, near both Hudson and Kingston, and easily accessible by train from NYC.
