What's around 130 State Route 42

About this property

Just in time for autumn comes this sweet-natured vintage farmhouse with its own private hiking trails for the viewing of blazing reds and golds in foliage season. Walk up to your own private campsite with a jumbo fire pit and picnic table, where you can be one with nature yet close enough to home to easily walk back if you aren't in the mood for a camp out! The property consists of 22.4 acres total but keep going if you like, as the parcel backs Forever Wild NY state land that will never be developed. After your hike, get cozy by the creekside fire pit or inside by the wood stove! There's four distinct seasons here for hiking, snowshoeing, foraging, ATVing, and camping fun. But if what you are also looking for is your own private creekside spot, you will have that here too. Listening to the lilting murmurs of the water from inside the house or around the property is surely one of the nicest things about owning a waterfront home! Originally built in 1889, this character-drenched beauty has been much loved, and smartly updated over time without the inherent warmth and character of the place being sacrificed. There is an open floor plan that shows off the gourmet kitchen which spills over to the dining area, generous living area, full bathroom, and an extra den also currently being used as an art studio. As you wander, you can't help notice the countless windows, gorgeous hard wood floors and the wood stove on its beautiful brick hearth framed by giant floor to ceiling windows. Use the wood stove to heat the whole place, with baseboard electric as back up, plus there is a corn stove too! Upstairs you will find two bedrooms and a half bath. Step outside to enjoy coffee on the rocking chair porch or a barbecue on the deck. The work from home crowd will be happy to hear that there is excellent Spectrum high speed cable internet readily available. Most of the furniture is also available making this a very turn-key, move-in ready home. Shandaken is one of the most notable recreation spots in the Catskill Park, just minutes from two ski mountains, world class hiking trails, swimming lakes and so much more. The name is a Native American derivative meaning ''rapid waters, '' a nod to the mighty Esopus Creek. It is an impossibly beautiful area, with its glorious mountain, valley and water views. It is also five minutes from everyone's favorite small town Phoenicia with its lively arts and food scenes, and an easy drive to Woodstock and Kingston. The GWB is just over two hours away, making this a very convenient second, primary, or vacation home.
