Description

Classic 19th-century farmhouse and two large barns, surrounded by mature trees and beautiful lawns, lead to over 40 acres of forested land with a pond, stream, walkable trails, and potential building sites. Lovingly cared for by the same family for over 70 years, the 3-bedroom farmhouse includes a wraparound porch for relaxing out front and a screened porch for outdoor dining and view of the lawn leading down to the barns and land beyond. The spacious barns could be used as workshops or for storage, or they could be converted into studios or additional workspace. They could also revert to housing animals, feed, and equipment. With a combination of cleared acreage and abundant forest, horse owners may find this property particularly attractive. A stroll through the woods starts with the pond, a peaceful spot in summer with floating lily pads and luminous reflections. Continue through the woods, up a gradual incline that levels off to a section of land with stunning views of the Catskill Mountains. It could serve as one of many building sites. Zoning is for 2-acre parcels. Or enjoy the existing farmhouse, which features three bedrooms and two large rooms with many possibilities. (The two bedrooms upstairs need to be updated.) The parlor downstairs could serve as a formal dining room, bedroom, den, or office. Upstairs, another large room could be used as an office, bedroom, den, or playroom. The home's front door opens to a generous living room, while a side door leads to a mudroom and substantial eat-in kitchen. This 41+ acre property could be enjoyed from the start or wholly reimagined. Settle into the farmhouse while building a second home? Develop a portion of the land? Design the barns as workspaces for music, art, or other creative ventures? (In the past, music sessions were held in the main barn while the audience sat on the lawn outside.) Town of Saugerties water lines run through the property and can be utilized, which will aid any development. This desirable location in West Saugerties is close to the villages of Woodstock, Saugerties, and Kingston, with all of the surrounding Catskills and Hudson Valley to enjoy. Manhattan's George Washington Bridge is approximately 100 miles to the south.
