1544 State Route 55a, Grahamsville, NY 12740

The privacy you've always wanted on 43+ acres next to protected DEP land with potential Rondout Reservoir views with some judicious cutting in a beautiful barn-style home with 50 windows allowing golden light to stream inside. Current owner has made numerous upgrades, including an extraordinary new fireplace constructed by a local artisanal stonemason, as well as a new boiler, buried power lines as well as electrical, heating and cosmetic improvements (see addendum for full list). This 3-bedroom, 2-bath post-and-beam with 76 feet of wraparound decking is a reconstruction of a barn once built on the site and is just a quarter-mile down the road from the Bald Eagle Observation Site. Living, dining and kitchen rooms are all open to each other and create a huge volume of space. And an immense mudroom for all those outdoor accessories and clothes. Full dry basement has been used as both workshop and entertainment space. As stunning as this barn conversion is, it is the seclusion of the property -- your own private hiking world -- that is the icing on the cake. All the nature and serenity you could ever want and just two hours from Manhattan
