Land with Home for Sale in Saugerties, New York

Here's a rare opportunity to own a serene 1893 clapboard cottage nestled in a private mountainside setting, complete with an historic red barn--yet just 15 minutes from the vibrant shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions of Woodstock and Saugerties. Set well back from the quiet, year-round-maintained West Saugerties Rd., a gravel driveway leads to this charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home that offers a wonderful blend of privacy, character, and convenience. Inside, the country kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a separate pantry, flowing into a full-sized, beamed dining room with large windows and a French door that opens to an enclosed porch. From the dining room, step into an inviting living room with a convenient half-bath and wood stove. Hardwood floors, rustic ceiling beams, and original details throughout give the home a warm, timeless character. An efficient propane stove provides comfortable heat during the colder months, complemented by the wood stove. Upstairs, the two bedrooms feature wide-board floors and original entry doors. The comfortable primary bedroom has a generously- sized en-suite bathroom with a claw-foot tub/shower and washer/dryer. Both bedrooms and bathroom also have energy-efficient electric heating. The porch off the dining room offers a lovely spot to sit and take in the peaceful surroundings. A dog door leads directly to a large fenced-in area, making this an especially welcoming setting for four-legged companions. Outside, discover a bluestone patio, perennial gardens, beautiful natural rock outcroppings, and the versatile historic red barn. This dry storage barn has electricity and offers much potential for a one-car garage, studio, and/or workshop. A new septic system was installed last July. Nearby hiking trails, waterfalls, and swimming holes offer endless opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the Catskills. With its combination of privacy, historic charm, outdoor beauty, and easy access to Woodstock and Saugerties, this enchanting property is an inviting retreat for those seeking a character-rich home with the opportunity to make it their own.
