| Notes: |
3 miles from the Hudson River Village of Coxsackie, the farmhouse sits on 12 acres in a bucolic entrepreneurial zone: a brewery, apiary, and apple farm are a walk away. The home was remodeled by a skilled craftsman: walls are upgraded with architectural elements; floors are refinished or replaced; 2, 3-season porches are insulated. Artistic use of wood, color, & texture make transitions from one sun-filled room to another inviting. French drains divert water away from the house and a deck overlooks 2 acres hay, which neighbors can cut and bale for their use, eliminating a need for equipment. 3+ acres of pasture and woods, across the street, assure privacy but can be deeded off. Behind the house, a restored icehouse was used as a guest space, studio, & potting shed. The upper level of the restored, two-level barn is insulated, electrified, & remodeled as a spacious, modern gallery/workspace; the lower level awaits new owners' innovations. A tractor bay encompasses the barn's west end, & its east end is an insulated, electrified woodworking shop on concrete slab. The detached garage with extensive storage is electrified, insulated, and built on slab. Currently a finishing shop, the detached garage with extensive storage is electrified, insulated and built on slab. The property, beautified by woods, pastures, spring, pond, and rock outcroppings, was once a working farm and can still function as one: previous owners raised animals & grew vegetables. 20 minutes to Albany, 30 to Hudson, 45 to ski areas, and 2 hours to NYC, this is a promising, rare parcel for enterprising souls. |
