Located in Kingston's historic Rondout District, the Rondout Caves offer a remarkable commercial space. Originally carved in 1856, these hand-hewn stone vaults feature a natural bluestone floor and a consistent 56°F year-round temperature, making them ideal for beverage production, fermentation, or cold storage. The primary vault measures 125 feet long, 32 feet wide, and over 16 feet high. A natural spring flows from the back wall, providing crystal-clear water with a rich balance of healthy minerals, piped directly to the production area, making it an exceptional resource for brewing, distillation, or food processing. The property's entrance emerges from the former ruins of the original 19th-century brewery, creating an open, level area suitable for a terrace, parking court, or small utility structure. Once home to the J. Hauck Son Brewery, the caves supplied lager to the region for over sixty years. Rediscovered in the 1990s, they were revived as a boutique wine storage facility. The caves are situated within a dynamic neighborhood known for its historic architecture, restaurants, galleries, and breweries, with proximity to the Hudson River, Kingston Waterfront, and key transportation routes. The property offers 7000 square feet of space and presents a rare opportunity for cold storage, beverage, and food producers to establish operations in a naturally climate-controlled facility supported by a pristine mineral spring.
