Property Description
Set amidst 254 acres of woodland, open fields, streams, ponds, and waterfalls, this beautifully renovated 1860s farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to own a significant country estate where historic character, modern upgrades, and outstanding recreational and agricultural potential converge. The four-bedroom, two-bath residence has been carefully restored to preserve its original charm while enhancing everyday livability. The main level includes a formal foyer, living room, dining room, and an updated kitchen featuring marble backsplash & countertops, stainless-steel Bertazzoni appliances and custom cabinetry. A spacious rear mudroom offers practical storage and a convenient country entry. Upstairs are four bedrooms, a study, a stylish bathroom and a distinctive small chapel, adding unique character to the home. The chapel could be a 5th bedroom, office or T.V. room. . Light-filled interiors showcase warm wood floors, original woodwork, period built-ins, and other preserved 19th-century details. Major infrastructure updates--including electrical, septic, and structural systems--have already been completed, providing peace of mind for future ownership. The land is equally exceptional. A varied landscape of mature forest and open pasture is enriched by two year-round streams, 4 ponds, and two waterfalls, creating an ideal setting for recreation, gardening, farming, or quiet enjoyment. A historic dairy barn and electrified horse stables offer strong potential for agricultural or equestrian use, complemented by spring-fed troughs on both sides of the quiet country road that reflect the property's working heritage. The horse stables can accommodate 5 horses. There are two paddocks and a riding space - ideal for the equestrian. An antique 1880s graveyard adds to the property's allure. Additional improvements include a greenhouse, chicken coop, and playhouse, further enhancing versatility and use. A short drive to skiing, boating on the Pepacton, quaint Catskill villages. With its rare combination of scale, privacy, water features, historic structures, and a fully renovated farmhouse, this 254-acre estate offers an extraordinary opportunity to create a refined country lifestyle in a truly timeless setting.
