Come be a part of the Northwestern Catskills burgeoning creative community! This mixed commercial and residential compound sits at the edge of the beloved Hobart ''book village'' and includes three buildings along with creek access and mountain views. Set over two parcels on opposite sides of the street, you'll find a newly renovated three-bedroom home, a restored 1440 square foot barn turned gallery, and a spacious 2800 square foot studio with large glass doors in a former garage. These eye-catching iconic buildings have incredible potential as any mix of live/work spaces and zoning should allow for uses such as restaurant, cafe or retail space (always check with the town for your exact use case!).
The home has had a total renovation with new Pella windows, engineered hardwood flooring, bathrooms, and artistic touches like the stunning curved wall in the living room. Enter into the generous open-plan living/dining room and kitchen area with a cozy gas stove, multiple sitting areas and sliders going out to the spacious back deck and yard. One large bedroom and full bath sits on one end of the house and two more are down the hall including a primary with a huge ensuite bath and a wall of windows to take in the mountain views. Other improvements include new mini-splits for heating/cooling, upgraded electric service, improved framing, and more.
Next door is the studio building that is a mix of workspace, gallery, and living space. The studio offers three new automatic glass garage doors, tall ceilings, heat, work sink, air compressor lines and ventilation for painting projects. There are multiple spaces within the building allowing for storage and an office in the loft. The gallery space has a wall of glass bricks bringing in soft diffused light for showcasing artwork or extending the living space. There is kitchen plumbing ready to go and a full bathroom as this building has its own septic system. With some modifications this building could become an incredible retail/commercial space or another dwelling.
Across the road is the second parcel with 6 acres of creek frontage and unobstructed mountain views. On one end is a restored barn which is currently being used as both an artist studio and gallery space. It has new glass accordion doors, radiant floor heating, polished concrete floors, plus sky lights and a unique bubble window that brings in exceptional light. In addition, at the other end of the lot there is a potential build site with municipal water and sewer plus electric hook up at the ready.
Located in one of the Catskills most picturesque areas this property brings a range of unique opportunities with high visibility. In addition to the many local book shops of Hobart and soon to be re-opened local inn/restaurant, this location is less than 5 mins from Stamford and 20 mins from other picturesque towns like Bovina, Roxbury, and Delhi. It is also within 45 mins of four ski mountains and only 2 hours and 45 minutes from the GW Bridge in NYC.
