Tucked away at the end of a secluded, town-maintained road only minutes from the desirable hamlet of Bovina, this two-bedroom, one-bath cabin blends artisan craftsmanship with modern efficiency. Hand-built in 2005 by its original owners, hand-hewn woodwork interiors and beautiful wood flooring are anchored by an ornate custom-carved mezzanine space with built-in book shelves. Perfect as an office space or cozy reading library and the entry point to the two light filled bedrooms. A large, efficient Morsø wood stove serves as the centerpiece of the open-plan living space. The full kitchen has a large antique cast iron butlers sink, electric stove top and oven, a dining table and nook surrounded by windows, and a spacious living room also heated by a powerful Monitor propane heating system. The bathroom features an antique clawfoot tub made for deep winter soaking, while an outdoor shower makes summer evenings feel even longer. Modern efficiencies include a tankless on-demand hot water system, and fully insulated Thermopane windows. Outside, the five-acre property features a spring-fed pond, a mix of cleared and wooded land, and absolute mountain-top serenity. A wide, covered porch offers an outdoor living area perfect for dining, yoga or afternoon lounging. Designed for low-maintenance living, the cabin is wrapped in cedar shingles, has a durable metal roof, an attached utility shed for storage, a poured concrete crawl space also with ample storage, and low-cost co-op electric. With a proven, decade-long track record as a successful short-term rental, and just over 2.5 hrs from NYC, this property serves as both an idyllic escape and an excellent investment opportunity. Airbnb earnings are between $3000- $4000 per month or $40,000 for 2025. Owner financing available.
