Perfectly sited, just under 10 acres on a winding country road sits this stunningly renovated 1825 farmhouse with Catskill Mountain views. This architect designed gem is a rare combination of Hudson Valley vernacular with modern finishes to create a beautiful and comfortable space. An abundance of windows allow for magical light and the view from every room resembles a landscape painting as only an old homestead could. Beamed ceilings, wide board polished floors, and a subtle palette combine for a traditional feel. Juxtaposed with this is all new electrical, plumbing, heating & cooling and of course kitchen and baths. The finished walk out lower level with fireplace and adjacent full bath functions as a cozy guest suite or would make a great writer's space or media room.

Rarely will you find a more iconic nineteenth century Catskill Mountain farmstead situated on more than 66 stunning acres. The lands of this historic farm include picturesque Rolling Meadows, Lush Hardwood Forests, a Pond, Stream, and a small Blue stone Quarry all set against a magical Catskill Mountain Landscape. The calm and peacefulness of this place will drain your stress away within minutes of visiting this property. The possibilities of this property abound, whether it's to create an organic farm complete with a working barn, which is already set up for a variety of livestock or perhaps you’d like to build a new home in the back meadow with soaring mountain views and restore the farm house for use as a guest house or airbnb. The property fronts on two sides of Sheldon Hill road and also along Grassy Ridge Road, offering opportunities for subdivision if you wanted to have less property to manage. The home and barn have been well maintained; however, could use updating and although it's two bedroom home, the finished walk out basement room w/ fireplace could be used as a third bedroom. Your options are only limited by your imagination and whatever you desire to do with this property you’ll find it positively enchanting.
