Here’s one for the old house enthusiast/fishing fan/ski bum in all of us. Situated north of Gilboa in Schoharie County, this c.1880 farmhouse sits a few miles from the Schoharie Reservoir, which allows year round trout fishing, as long as you have a permit, of course. Before you assume that Schoharie County is too far north, the property is in the southern part of the county, closer to Greene County and Delaware County (Roxbury village is 20 minutes away). Ski Windham Mountain 30 minutes away, or hit Hunter, Belleayre, or Plattekill Mountains. Looking at a house like this with 4 bedrooms, 2000 square feet of interior space, and an acre of land included makes us wonder why one might rent instead of own, especially since the farmhouse has wood floors, large dining room, wood stove, 2 screened-in porches, and gardens galore. And the taxes? Practically dirt-cheap at less than $2000/year.
