Charming Farmhouse On Vast Wooded Estate Awaits Rejuvenation

Down a quiet, dead-end road in the sleepy town of Shawangunk sits this circa 1900 old-style farmhouse on just shy of one hundred wooded acres. The home needs renovations/TLC, but with six bedrooms it can hold an army. Hardwood floors (as seen), exposed beams, and some period touches bring character to the house. Enjoy a large wood-burning stove to take the chill off and save on heating bills. The property is zoned RAG2 and spans both sides of the road, so you could subdivide and build a house or two for investment if that is your vision (with town approvals, of course). Maybe your hunting club is looking for the perfect large property with plenty of bedrooms; you’re looking for space to ride quads and bikes; you want a zen spot to sit next to a natural spring; or maybe a place to call home where you can live in harmony with nature. There are so many possibilities here! The property is a certified tree farm as part of the American Tree Farm System, a program of the American Forest Foundation. This entails having a forest management sustainability plan (not farming trees!), and enjoys generous tax relief benefits. There are only approximately 1,100 certified tree farms in New York State. Located in the Pine Bush School District, the home is just a few minutes’ drive to town amenities such as shopping and main street eateries. Also close by is world-class outdoor recreation including Minnewaska State Park and Sam’s Point. Seventeen miles to the train and seventy-three miles to the George Washington Bridge makes the home commutable or a perfect weekend getaway.
