Location: Callisto Hudson Valley

Nestled in the heart of the Hudson Valley, Callisto is an 88-acre retreat of rolling hills, open fields, and winding walking trails, framed by a diverse forest that shifts with the seasons. A place where nature, history, and hospitality converge, Callisto offers a serene escape just a short distance from the city.

At its heart are two beautifully restored barns, each steeped in history. The Yellow Barn, a former dairy and equestrian center dating back to the 1800s, now serves as a warm and inviting gathering space, surrounded by a courtyard with a fire pit, a thriving vegetable garden, and friendly farm animals. The Red Barn, built in 1805, is a striking and rugged structure, meticulously preserved to maintain its original charm and craftsmanship.

Whether you're here to explore the land, connect with nature, or gather with friends around a long, communal table, Callisto embodies the quiet magic of the Hudson Valley—a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel at home.
