Property Description
Located only 30 minutes from the Hudson Amtrak Train Station this 9.5-acre property in Chatham, NY offers exceptional potential one of which could be an organic farm. With multiple structures there are endless possibilities. An amazing 2 story huge barn would work for an artist/actor or musician studio and wouild also work for horses. There is a private pond for swimming, kayajing and fishing. The tax estimate on Zillow is incorrect and should read 6,195 dollars, The 2,005-square-foot main home features 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms and has solid bones, though it does need some TLC. There are dual brick fireplaces in the living room and reading nook, a formal dining room, and a 3-season porch which add to its historic country charm. The property also includes a small unfinished house without a well or septic, ideal for use as an ADU, additional studio, guest house, or artist studio. A smaller barn also features a hayloft and has been used for storage. Although the vegetation is currently overgrown, the established fruit trees, perennial flower beds, and raised vegetable beds save years of effort. The reading nook , den and 3 season room would make a great at home office area (or in-law apartment) with it's own entrance. Located near the Hawthorn Valley School and the Mac Hayden Summerstock Theater this is a special property to restore and make your own.
