Overview
A historic 1892 farmhouse on the property spans three floors and includes 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a bonus room that can serve as an additional bedroom or office. Interior spaces include a farm-style kitchen, formal dining area, parlor, and a large living room, with stairs off the kitchen leading to another room that can be used as a workshop or storage area. Outdoor amenities include a covered porch with scenic views, an enclosed porch off the dining area, a bluestone patio with seating area, a fire pit, and a fenced area for pets. A 444 sq. ft. garage behind the house provides storage for equipment, toys, and tools, with room for a small workshop.
The acreage totals 172.1 +/- acres of diverse forest and mountainous terrain with open and brush fields surrounding a creek bottom. Birch Creek traverses the property, providing over 2,400 feet of frontage on both sides, and the creek supports fishing for rainbow, brown, and native brook trout. The property also includes intermediate-growth forest, brushy fields with gentle terrain, and additional rugged mountainous areas that rise as the land crosses power lines and an old railroad bed.
With approximately 1.9 miles of well-established trails suitable for UTV or ATV use, this homestead supports hunting, fishing, hiking, and horseback and motorized recreation. The parcel borders large areas of public land, including the Big Indian Wilderness Area and the Shandaken Wild Forest. The property is situated along Route 28 and includes terrain that is described as split by the road, which may appeal to buyers evaluating long-term subdivision or future development possibilities.
