43 Marty Road, Gallatin: $239,000

Columbia County’s popularity has exploded in recent years. Mostly likely, we can thank Hudson for that. The riverfront city has garnered a lot of press and attention for being “The Next {Insert Hip Brooklyn Neighborhood Here},” but while Hudson’s art/music/food scene as well as its accessibility to NYC (there’s an Amtrak station there) has turned many an eye toward it, the rest of Columbia County exists a bit more outside of the limelight. That’s great for those of us who are on a constant search for bucolic locales with housing stock that won’t completely murder your bottom line. Turns out, Columbia County still has plenty of affordable property options available to those who know where to look. And we know where to look. In fact, we aggregated so many great Columbia County properties priced less than $250,000 that we could spend weeks posting them. Let’s start out with our 5 favorites this week in affordable Columbia County and see where things go from there. Here’s a taste of what’s to come: A miniature horse farm (the farm is miniature; up to you whether the horses are miniature, too), a mint-condition lake house, a renovated barn, and much more.
