Homestead in Harpersfield

Description

This sprawling western Catskills homestead presents a bounty of desirable features, including; a fully redesigned farmhouse-contemporary style home replete with modern amenities, a 3 story 40x50 barn with 4 garage bays, a spring-fed pond, an in-ground covered pool, and a stunning 58+ acres of rolling meadows and mixed woods. The 4 bed, 2.5 bath home was completely rebuilt in 1999. The front foyer opens into the expansive main living space, which incorporates a gas fireplace for warmth and charm. The hardwood floors flow into the bright dining room space, and then into the open kitchen that features a large central island, hickory cabinets, and an informal eating space with a convenient slider door out to the back patio/pool area. The stately den has another gas fireplace, and leads into the massive primary suite with walk-in closet, jetted tub, shower, and another entry point to the patio area. The main floor is heated by radiant heat, and also has a laundry room with storage and utility sink, and an adjacent half bath. Upstairs there are 3 more bedrooms with plenty of closet space, a bright reading nook or office space, and another full bathroom.

Outside the home, the back patio leads up towards the pool, on towards the spring-fed pond set among cheerful blueberry bushes and apple trees, and then further on toward the back lot with great distant views. The parcel features almost 20 acres of meadow space, with the balance being mixed hardwood forests with an interconnected trail system for any type of recreation. There are three main outbuildings. The heated 3 story barn features a 4 bay lower floor, a second floor shop/hobby space, and third floor for storage. In addition, there is a 2 car detached garage and an animal shelter/utility shed. There is just so much to offer here to fulfill any number of lifestyle ambitions, and it is all located just 3 miles to Stamford, 30 minutes to Oneonta, and 2:45 to the GWB.
