Property Description
Set along a quiet stretch of Drake Hill Road in the rolling countryside of Greene County, this 12.39± acre property offers a rare combination of historic character, usable land, and true seclusion. Anchored by a classic 1800s farmhouse and complemented by a beautiful post- and-beam barn, outbuildings, and a private pond, this property captures the essence of what buyers are searching for in a country retreat or small-scale farmstead. The 1,993.5± square foot farmhouse, built in 1890, offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms, blending old-world charm with practical updates. Knotty pine flooring runs throughout much of the home, adding warmth and character, while a newer Navien wall- hung propane boiler provides efficient baseboard heat. The home is well-suited for weekend use, full-time living, or as a base for a hobby farm or recreational property. Outside, the land opens up into approximately three acres of open ground surrounding the home, with an additional seven acres of mixed hardwood and softwood forest extending beyond. The terrain gently rolls from the elevated homesite down toward a 0.58± acre man- made pond, creating a scenic and functional layout. The pond features both shallow and deeper areas, suitable for swimming in warmer months and skating during the winter. A small creek runs through the wooded portion of the property, adding to the natural appeal. The land itself reflects its history as a former 1800s sheep farm, with stone walls still visible throughout the property. The timber mix includes hemlock, pine, white oak, red oak, cherry, and shagbark hickory, offering both aesthetic value and wildlife habitat. The property shows strong signs of deer activity, with established trails, rubs, and bedding areas throughout, making it an excellent candidate for recreational use or light land management. Several areas could be further developed into food plots or expanded open ground if desired. A standout feature of the property is the 38' x 16' historic post-and-beam barn, complete with a 16' x 24' hay loft, showcasing classic agricultural character and craftsmanship from a bygone era. A separate 25' x 16' tool shed with open storage below provides additional utility for equipment, storage, or workshop use. With approximately 1,200 feet of road frontage along Drake Hill Road, access is straightforward while still maintaining privacy. The property is serviced by a private well and septic system, with a leased propane tank on site. This property also presents a unique opportunity for expansion, as it can be purchased on its own or in combination with two additional adjoining listings, creating a larger offering totaling 60.99± acres. Located within a reasonable drive to Albany, Hudson, Catskill, and the ski resorts of Windham and Hunter, the property offers both convenience and escape. Whether you're looking for a quiet country home, a recreational retreat, or a property with agricultural potential, this offering checks a wide range of boxes.
