A c.1865, Woodstock-adjacent Farmhouse

  |  October 14, 2025

Today, Upstater is in the hamlet of Lake Hill, northeast of Woodstock, at a c.1865 farmhouse.

The 2,064-square-foot home on two acres has a lot to offer a family, including four bedrooms, two baths, and a flurry of additional rooms. The exterior is cute: Blue siding and rust-colored trim seem well maintained. And you can’t beat that woodsy setting.

That bumped-out foyer has a tile floor that continues through a second door into the kitchen. A peninsula with a gas cooktop matches the white cabinetry, topped with granite.

Dark ceiling beams jut across the planked ceiling; the effect is softened by huge windows in a dinette-perfect corner that pour light and green views into the kitchen.

The living room has a woodstove backed by a stone-faced wall.

That new, wide-plank pine flooring glows with the sunlight from all of those windows and sliding-glass doors.

Another entrance leads to a vintage set of stairs.

But before we go upstairs, check out the vintage pecan flooring that’s been painted in these two rooms.

There’s potential and flexibility here.

The bathroom is a bit dated, but is in good condition.

This main-floor bedroom has a bright blue floor and huge windows.

Extra rooms are everywhere in this house: This one has new flooring and a skinny closet.

This upstairs bath has a clawfoot tub and matching fixtures.

The laundry room also has a big window.

An unfinished room on the top floor has future potential, too.

A rocking-chair porch lets you soak up the sun.

According to the listing, local lore has it that the house holds deep Woodstockian history, housing famous musicians such as Jimi Hendrix. If this outlier barn could talk, we bet it could verify that.

The barn is in need of total renovation, the listing says.

The property is listed for $625,000, and it’s about 10 minutes to downtown Woodstock for, say, a drink at Station Bar & Curio.
