About This Home

As of April 2026

Experience the perfect blend of history, sustainability, and modern comfort in this stunning 4-bedroom farmhouse, originally built in the 1800s and thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle. Nestled in the sought-after Palisades School District, this eco-friendly property offers on- or off-grid living with incredible energy efficiency. Significant updates include a brand-new roof, updated HVAC systems, an eco-efficient water heater, a new septic system, and solar panels that not only keep energy bills low but also generate recurring revenue, making this home as economical as it is charming. The heart of the home is its inviting country-style kitchen, featuring vaulted exposed beam ceilings, cork flooring, a brick accent wall, and a spacious center island, perfect for family gatherings and cozy meals. The main level also includes a large bedroom, formal living and dining rooms, and a warm family room with a wood-burning stove. Built-in shelving and hardwood floors enhance the home’s timeless character. Step outside to enjoy the serene beauty of a natural brook trout spring, water wheel, and a stone settler’s cottage from the deck or fenced-in yard. This extraordinary property combines historical charm, eco-conscious living, and modern updates, offering both financial and environmental benefits. Don’t miss this rare opportunity—schedule your showing today! Important notes: The basement apartment is not included in the demisable gross leasable area; however, we are open to discussing its inclusion if desired, otherwise it will be listed separately. Additionally, the front parking pad in front of the Water Wheel, facing the street, will operate as an active farm stand run by Raw Farms; parking at this pad is not permitted. Tenants will receive a 10% discount on all products purchased from the stand.
