Property Description

Set on 44 acres along Ouleout Creek, this fully renovated 1850s Greek Revival farmhouse blends historic character with forward-looking efficiency. A covered porch opens into a front parlor warmed by a black woodburning fireplace, with a media room just off to the side. New hardwood floors lead back to a striking kitchen addition wrapped in three-part windows beneath an arched ceiling, featuring hand-painted laminate counters, a farmhouse sink, induction range, and new refrigerator. Two side doors open to the carriage barn and a creekside patio with its own outdoor fireplace. A bar room and pantry connect the kitchen to the parlor, alongside a renovated first-floor bath with terra-cotta and subway tile. Two flexible rooms offer use as a library, office, first-floor bedroom, or dressing room, with a stacked washer/dryer already in place. The traditional center hall staircase leads to three upstairs bedrooms and a remodeled bath, with wide-plank floors and period hardware throughout. The property's standout feature is its energy system: geothermal heating and cooling paired with a 55-panel, 29.975 kWp solar array on the carriage barn roof, designed to offset your total annual energy use or more, and keep yearly heat, cooling, and electricity expenses under 1,000 dollars. There is no fuel oil or propane, and the home remains connected to the NYSEG grid for reliable backup. Wood stoves in both the main house and studio apartment add supplemental warmth and charm. A detached art studio and workshop includes its own studio apartment, HVAC by mini-splits, with checkered tile floors, a soapstone counter, and a private deck over the creek. The front workshop is bathed in natural light from a full wall of windows. Rear room contains a custom rocket mass heater (hand-built by the seller's family). The 65-by-300-foot carriage-dairy barn offers soaring open space, equipment bays, a storage loft, a traditional milk room, and an attached greenhouse, in addition to housing the solar array. Forty-six acres of meadows, woods, and four stone-wall-framed fields surround the buildings, with Ouleout Creek running behind the house and barn and a footbridge leading to walking paths across the land. Located near Delhi, Franklin, and Oneonta, under three hours from the George Washington Bridge and within easy reach of Albany International Airport, this is a rare compound offering historic character, creative space, and genuine long-term efficiency -- a Catskills property built for both everyday living and lasting value.
