Property Description
Sited on a country road with over 400 feet of Bushkill stream frontage, sits this charming and well-maintained 3BD/2BA farmhouse and 2BD/1BA guest house + studio. The property is ideal for the buyer that wants to live in an updated farmhouse with the option to offer guests a separate dwelling and/or generate rental income. Each dwelling has its own driveway and private outdoor space, making it perfect as a rental or family compound.
Highlights of the 3BD/2BA, 1,923sf farmhouse include an open plan living and dining area with wood floors, exposed wood beams and an impressive stone fireplace, an oversized kitchen with large windows that provide a constant connection to the outdoors, a sunroom that is drenched in natural light with multiple walls of windows that open wide to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor life and three spacious bedrooms all of which can accommodate king size beds.
Adjacent to the main house sits a renovated barn. The upper floor includes a 2BD/1BA, 1,152sf dwelling with oversized bedrooms, a renovated wood/marble bathroom and an open plan living and dining space with a wood stove that anchors the space. The lower level contains unfinished studio space with high ceilings. While it currently serves as a woodworking studio, it could easily be converted to a home office, gym or additional living space.
Outside, the sound of the creek provides a perpetually soothing backdrop with multiple spots along the Bushkill where you can take a dip in a wading spot or just relax and decompress from the busy city life. A bluestone porch on the front of the house, a large bluestone back patio and a fieldstone screened in porch that connects the two spaces provides plenty of options for lounging and entertainment. A brick oven, outdoor grill and formerly productive vegetable garden, provide the home chef with intriguing options for growing food and cooking meals. A former pool that was filled in would be one of a few obvious spots to install a pool. A picket-fenced yard is perfect to keep the kids and dogs safe and contained.
Skiing at Belleayre and Plattekill is 30 minutes away. Hiking/biking options within 5-10 minutes include access to hundreds of acres of public land, the Kanape Brook Trailhead, a swimming hole and the Ashokan Rail Trail. 10-15 minutes away you'll find farm stands, restaurants and grocery stores including the Migliorelli Farm Stand, Bread Alone and the Phoenicia Diner. The larger towns of Woodstock, Accord, Kerhonkson and Stone Ridge are approximately 25-30 minutes from the property.
