The Lake House. .. Circa 1905, this cedar-shingle-clad, two-story farmhouse overlooks a 10-acre lake fed by seven natural springs and situated on approximately 275 acres. The residence includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, featuring open-concept living and dining areas. A sunroom opens onto an oversized deck with elevated views of the lake, two large docks, and the surrounding landscape. A circa 1825 equestrian barn, fully renovated in the mid-1990s, offers eight 12' x 12' stalls and a foaling stall constructed from Southern yellow pine. The barn includes heated tack and wash rooms with hot water and electricity. Adjacent to the barn are 11acres of three-rail wood-fenced pastures with a run-in shed. The property provides miles of hiking and riding trails leading to over 55 acres of open mountaintop pastures with expansive views. A detached garage is located near the main house, and two additional 10-acre fields are positioned along East Handsome Brook Road. The lake serves as a central focal point and is visible from multiple areas surrounding the home. Located within the DelhiCentral School District and minutes from the village of Franklin, which offers boutique shops and dining options, this property combines historic character, extensive acreage, and equestrian amenities in a highly desirableCatskills setting.
