1800s Farmhouse on 17.49 Acres of Scenic Beauty in Westerlo
Set far back from the road and nestled among the rolling hills of Westerlo, this 1800s farmhouse is steeped in charm and surrounded by 17.49 acres of meadows, woodlands, and long-range mountain views. The setting is private, peaceful, and picturesque—ideal for anyone seeking a quiet country escape with room to create, retreat, or reinvent.
Inside, you'll find the kind of timeless character that only comes with age: wide plank refinished wood floors throughout, original woodwork, a mix of sheetrock, plaster, and paneling, and double-hung windows that let in golden-hour light. Thoughtful updates over time have maintained the home's integrity while allowing space for your own vision.
One of the property's standout features is the oversized, heated 4-car garage with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Whether you're envisioning a home office, guest quarters, creative studio, or a private retreat for a loved one, this flexible space offers endless potential.
Significant updates offer peace of mind: two new propane boilers and hot water heaters, a whole-house generator, a freshly painted exterior in 2024, a new roof on the garage/studio, and a metal roof on the main house recently coated with anti-rust paint—all done to preserve the property and protect your investment.
The land itself is a showstopper. Open fields perfect for gardening or stargazing. Wooded areas to explore. Distant views that seem to go on forever. And thanks to a neighboring farmer, the property qualifies for an agricultural exemption, providing the potential for reduced property taxes.
Whether you're dreaming of a quiet country lifestyle, a beautiful place to grow, or a scenic backdrop for your next chapter, this historic farmhouse offers space, soul, and untapped potential in one of Upstate New York's most enchanting settings.
