About This Home
As of February 2021"What Dreams Are Made Of" 198.8 acres of ULTRA PRIVATE, untouched wilderness! In addition, this property is surrounded on almost all sides by thousands more acres of State Land! It has views of Mountains, Valleys, Streams, Ponds, and Meadows...just to name a few! There are apple orchards and a large bluestone quarry as well as lots of water features on the property, the house overlooks a half acre pond and there is an even bigger pond, about 3/4 acre in size, further from the house. Also, there is a Trout Stream on the property, and many springs coming down the mountainside. The property has a classic farmhouse built in 1938 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. with many features. It is a delightful home but in need of renovations and upgrades. The road is a Dead End town maintained 1/4 mile long road that leads to house. In 2009, DEP and NYC installed a new septic system. If you have ever wanted to escape the everyday grind to be in a place that you can see and feel nature all around you, a private utopia all your own...then this is the place for you.
