Historic Hudson Valley Estate with Established Canine Training Business on 14.5 Private Acres

Kingston, New York | Offered at $1,450,000

Nestled at the base of the mountains in New York’s picturesque Hudson Valley, this extraordinary 14.5-acre estate offers a rare opportunity to own a property where natural beauty and business come together. Home to Acadia Canine Academy for many years, the estate has supported a successful canine training business with a proven six-figure revenue history, making it an exceptional opportunity for those looking to continue an established operation or create something entirely their own.

The grounds are truly something special. Mature landscaping, a peaceful pond, natural springs, and a secluded cave create a setting that feels both peaceful and inspiring, while a 25-by-50-foot in-ground pool provides the perfect place to unwind against the mountain backdrop. Rich in Hudson Valley history, the 3,335-square-foot residence blends the character of a 1948 home with preserved stone walls dating back to an original 1668 structure, creating a home as distinctive as the landscape that surrounds it.

Designed with canine professionals in mind, the property features an indoor training facility complete with furniture, fixtures, and equipment, expansive professionally fenced outdoor training areas, canine accommodations, a functional barn, and a separate garage. Located within a highly flexible light industrial zoning district, the property offers outstanding potential for boarding, daycare, grooming, educational programs, or continuing its legacy as a premier training facility.

Whether you’re searching for a turnkey canine business, a flexible commercial property, or a private country estate with room to grow, this unique opportunity offers a rare combination of established business potential, remarkable natural beauty, and Hudson Valley history that’s difficult to find in one property.
