About Ghent
Tucked into the rolling farmland of Columbia County, Ghent offers a quiet rural lifestyle with easy access to some of the Hudson Valley's favorite destinations. Strung along Route 66, the hamlet sits right between the vibrant arts and dining scene in Hudson and the cozy village of Chatham. With open fields, historic homes, and the Kline Kill winding through the landscape, the area provides a peaceful country setting for anyone looking for extra breathing room.
At the heart of the hamlet stands Bartlett House, an 1870s railroad hotel that has been restored into a popular bakery, kitchen, and local gathering spot. Surrounded by working farms, open green space, and nearby cultural hubs like the Art Omi sculpture park, Ghent keeps daily life simple and grounded. It makes a wonderful home for newcomers seeking small-town charm, scenic drives, and a quick connection to regional train lines.
