This picture-perfect farmhouse sits in the middle of a former 93-acre dairy farm in the Catskills, and it makes an ideal vacation or year-round getaway. Drive down the long driveway through rolling pastures and ponds (2 on property), pull up to the house and the magnificent barn, and the view of the fields and surrounding hills will tell you you've left the city behind. The renovated farmhouse is in very good condition, with 3 bedrooms, one bath, an open kitchen and dining room, living room with bookcases, den with woodstove, a wraparound porch, bluestone patio, and much more. It's a comfortable house, heated with hot-water radiators in the winter and cooled with mountain breezes in summer. The yard is family friendly and extensive, and there are plenty of fields to hike, snowshoe, or cross-country ski. The barn is massive. With the wraparound porch and patio, outdoor living is easy. Close to Callicoon and Jeffersonville, NY -- approximately 2 hours from NYC.
