413 Smith Rd, Salem, NY 12865

Dramatic and full of character, this striking barn conversion offers rustic charm and thoughtful functionality set on 15.74 beautiful acres. Soaring ceilings, stunning exposed beams, and expansive windows and glass doors flood the home with natural light. A focal point is the impressive Great Room with cathedral ceilings and a spiral staircase leading to a second-floor loft with a bedroom and full bath--an ideal retreat for guests or a private workspace. A sun-drenched mudroom with tiled flooring provides the perfect spot for muddy boots or starting seedlings or tending to plants year-round. Please note: the existing woodstove is excluded, and the chimney needs repair. French doors lead into a bright dining room framed by oversized windows, accompanied by a spacious kitchen and pantry closet. The primary suite offers a peaceful escape with a full bath and its own private sitting deck, while two additional bedrooms, another full bathroom, and a laundry room provide ample space. Step outside to a rear deck overlooking established perennial beds and manicured grounds featuring medicinal herb gardens, berry bushes, and a firepit for relaxing evenings under the stars. The greenhouse is negotiable, offering even more potential for those with a green thumb. Perfectly suited for an agrarian or self-sufficient lifestyle, the property includes a mix of open meadow and wooded land with trails ideal for hiking and mountain biking, all within a vibrant farming community. A three-car garage with storage loft and attached chicken coop adds to the versatility. Enjoy efficient living with a wood boiler and large woodshed, complemented by an oil-fired hot air furnace in the basement for backup heat when needed. Although some TLC is needed, this is a truly special opportunity to embrace country living without compromising on comfort or character.
