HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS BY TUESDAY 1/13 @ 10AM
Escape to the peace and natural beauty of Jefferson in Schoharie County, NY with this artistic country home for sale, set on a quiet paved road with little traffic and surrounded by nature. This property spans 82.1 acres with four spring-fed ponds, open meadows, and a diverse landscape of hardwood forest including sugar maple, ash, and northern black cherry, balanced by replanted pine and spruce. For over 25 years, bluebirds and tree swallows have returned each season to nest, a testament to the harmony and care this land has known.
Outdoor recreation is available in every season, with swimming in summer, ice skating in winter, and over one mile of cross-country skiing trails winding through fields and forest. Natural springs and a small stream feed the ponds, creating a peaceful, ever-changing landscape.
The property features four separate buildings, each with its own character. The main home offers large windows framing tranquil views of the pond, lawns, and surrounding trees. Inside, an open floor plan, spiral staircase, and cozy woodstove create a warm and inviting space, while a new furnace adds modern comfort. The second house, built in the early 1800s and currently used as a workshop or artist studio, showcases original hand-hewn beams and timeless craftsmanship. The passive solar greenhouse is a separate structure with a built-in Koi pond, staying warm enough for tropical plants to thrive year-round. The large storage pole barn provides abundant space for equipment, cattle, or horses.
Whether you seek a full-time residence, a vacation home, or a peaceful retreat, this home in Jefferson, Schoharie County, NY captures the essence of quiet Upstate living—natural, inspiring, and filled with enduring charm.
