Before you completely lose your minds over the affordable rent, please be advised that this is not a full-time residence. The Craigslist ad makes it very clear that this is meant to be for part-time use by an artist.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, take a gander at this stunning 2800 sq. ft. art studio+living space in the northern Catskills hamlet of Palenville, once the hub of the Hudson River School back in the 19th century. It’s still a thriving art community, as evidenced by spaces such as this one, and it’s no wonder, given its breathtaking Kaaterskill Falls/Platte Clove setting.

Here’s the low-down: The space consists of two rooms on the ground (and private) floor of this renovated 1800s boarding house. You get bluestone fireplaces, hardwood floors, double french doors plus antique screened doors leading to covered porches. All utilities are included (!!!), and the space becomes available in March 2016. Read all about it here on Craiglist and creekculture.blogspot.com. Drooling yet? Here’s a shot of a Platte Clove waterfall, just in case you aren’t.

Just for scale: That’s my husband on the lower left. He’s 6 ft. 4.
