Set on two flat, private acres, this property offers the kind of space and setting that’s becoming increasingly hard to find. Quiet and surrounded by nature, it’s a birdwatcher’s paradise, with deer and occasional wild turkeys often seen nearby. Imagine summer afternoons by the in-ground saltwater pool, evenings on the expansive deck or around the large fire pit, and mornings exploring your own mature orchard featuring peach, pear, Asian pear, apple, and black cherry trees. A fenced garden with raised beds and established rhubarb provides space to grow flowers, herbs, and vegetables.
The open acreage offers endless possibilities for recreation, entertaining, and outdoor enjoyment, with plenty of room for dogs to roam. The sloping side yard is ideal for archery or target practice, while the large open back lot offers potential for a future second home, subject to approvals. Nearby woods span more than 25 acres, providing opportunities for hiking, ATV riding, hunting, and access to a beautiful seasonal creek that can often be heard from the yard after rain.
Inside, a wood-burning stove efficiently heats the home using firewood from the surrounding woods. Recent updates include a new heat pump water heater, newer propane furnace, and an updated kitchen with butcher block countertops, porcelain farmhouse sink, tile backsplash, and reverse osmosis water system. The home also features a large garage beneath the residence, plus two additional parking spaces at the end of the driveway.
Despite its private setting, the property offers easy access to the Taconic and I-84 and is just minutes from grocery stores, gas stations, and other conveniences. Just moments away, visitors can enjoy seasonal attractions at Barton Orchards, known for apple picking, pumpkin patches, summer concerts, Friday night fireworks, and a variety of outdoor activities throughout the year. A rare combination of privacy, usable land, outdoor amenities, modern updates, and convenient access to local destinations creates a setting designed for year-round enjoyment.
