Enchanting Circa-1860s Catskills Country Home with Stream Frontage on the Batavia Kill!
For the first time in decades, this sweet rustic circa-1860s country home in the heart of the Catskill Mountains is available on the market. With a serene babbling stream running through the land, the property offers a timeless blend of historic character, natural beauty, and income-producing potential.
This legal two-family dwelling on a town maintained road features separate entrances, 2 kitchens, individual electric meters, and an easy layout for converting back into side-by-side two-story units—ideal for rental income, multigenerational living, or a live-in/lease-out arrangement.
Inside, the home is filled with warmth and craftsmanship. Enjoy the picture window, wood floors, 6 bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. The kitchens showcase hand-crafted cabinetry built from reclaimed lumber, a cozy wood stove, and a large pantry, creating a welcoming space that feels both grounded and artfully inviting.
Outdoors, nature provides the soundtrack. The gentle murmur of the stream below drifts through the property like an enchanting lullaby, offering peace, privacy, and a true Catskills retreat.
A rare opportunity to own a historic home with both character and versatility.
