156 Robisch Hill Rd, Callicoon, NY 12723

Converted barns don't come on the market that often, and this one's a beauty. Situated on 14.45 acres on a low-traffic back road in the Beechwoods above Callicoon, this property offers a variety of amenities: private setting, western views of the rolling hills, a pond, and frontage on the North Branch of Callicoon Creek -- a stocked trout stream. Extensive fieldstone walls, steps and patios nestle the home into its natural surroundings, and the exterior is clad in native bluestone and hemlock. Constructed by one of the area's best builders in 1998, the barn offers 2,240 square feet on three levels of soaring post and beam. The open first floor comprises a great room, dining area, bedroom, half bath and kitchen with double farm sink, bluestone and butcher-block counters, a commercial propane stove, and open shelving. Every window provides a view. In the lofted second floor you'll find open space currently used as an office, library, and bedroom. And on the ground floor there's a slate entry, another bedroom, full bath, laundry, and a workshop. Two sets of French doors lead out to a beautiful bluestone patio with built-in barbecue -- a great place for summer dining or entertaining while looking over the pond. Good insulation and 3-zone, in-floor radiant heating is efficient, and a centrally located woodstove keeps the place cozy. A Generac standby generator is on hand if the power goes out. A two-car garage and outbuildings offer storage for cars, equipment, and tools. Move right into this comfortable, unique home and start enjoying a relaxed country lifestyle.
