About this property

I invite you to discover a warm, peaceful, and inviting house nestled on a sprawling, pastoral, 4.9 acres in the picturesque hamlet of Bushnellville, in the town of Shandaken. Built in 1929, this property embodies the warmth of family history and the beauty of nature, making it a dream retreat for anyone seeking solace and adventure. Shandaken hamlets also include—Phoenicia, Mt. Tremper, and Pine Hill—are renowned for their breathtaking landscapes and extensive outdoor activities. This home has been cherished by a family who used it as a weekend and summer retreat from the city. With four bedrooms, including a versatile walk-through bedroom perfect for a nursery, office, or storage, this home offers both comfort and functionality. The main floor features a conveniently located bedroom with direct access to the bathroom, making it ideal for guests or family members. Imagine sipping your morning coffee on the inviting covered front porch, surrounded by the serene beauty of spring, summer, and fall. The property boasts a garden area and ample level land, perfect for adding a guest house, garage, or barn for horses. The 3-story barn (24x18) already on-site features a workshop on the main level, attic space, and drive-in-ground level for storing tractors, tools, and recreational vehicles. Nature lovers will appreciate the trees lining the rear of the property and the soothing stream that borders one side, offering an idyllic path through the woods for tranquil walks, wading, and native trout fishing. The retaining wall, constructed from flagstone harvested from the land, stands as a testament to the family's dedication to nurturing the natural environment surrounding them. Although the inground pool (19x34) near the stream is currently empty and has not been in use for quite a long time, it presents a wonderful opportunity for someone to revitalize a recreational space. The home has seen upgrades, including bathroom, Electric, AC, and Heating with newly installed Mini Splits ensuring modern conveniences are well integrated with its charming character. With a spring-fed well, drilled well, electric baseboard heat in both the bathroom and upstairs bedroom. For chilly nights, gather around a working wood-burning stove in the living room, making memories that will last a lifetime. Conveniently located just under 3 miles from Scenic Route 28, adventure awaits just a short drive away, whether it's a day on the slopes at Belleayre Ski Center and Beach, under 15 minutes away, or a tranquil afternoon spent tubing or berry picking.

The delightful village of Woodstock is about 30 minutes away, offering vibrant culture and unique experiences, while the enchanting town of Phoenicia is a mere 8 miles from your door. The house has served for 4 generations as a beloved homestead to its current family, perfect for holiday gatherings and family reunions. They hope it can be as loved and cherished by its next owners.
