An Octagonal Home Near a Large Garden Gnome in Kerhonkson
Jane Anderson | December 24, 2025
Yes, this will be the third octagonal house featured by Upstater this year. This one is in Kerhonkson, set on more than three acres with Catskills views.
The home is as solid as it looks, with eight-inch-thick walls in a classic octagon shape. Vinyl siding is low-maintenance.
Inside, a double-height ceiling lends airiness to the living room.
Open-riser stairs wend their way to a loft-like second level.
The main living space is large enough that the curves don’t feel cramped. Sure, some cosmetic updates may be in order…
…though some of the kitchen appliances are on the newer side.
The house has three bedrooms. This one has pink, wall-to-wall carpeting…
…and an ensuite bath.
Big windows soak the bedrooms with light, as in this blue-carpeted bedroom.
Daylight is so important during dreary winter months.
There’s a half-bath…
…and another full bath.
The basement is unfinished but spacious.
A wraparound deck offers outdoor entertainment options when the temps rise.
Surrounded by trees, the 2,512-square-foot home’s 3.3-acre lot is close to climbing and hiking. It’s set back off the road, but it’s just about a half-mile to the best strawberries in season at Kelder’s Farm and the world’s largest garden gnome! The property is listed for $479,000.
