Take a gander at this unicorn of a property. Priced reasonably, this converted barn is located just over the border from Massachusetts near the Dutchess County hamlet of Wingdale, completely within striking distance to both the Wingdale and Wassaic Metro-North stations. The pragmatist in us is enamored by the sheer affordability of the house and land (1.3 acres, to be exact), while the antiquities enthusiast in us can’t help but drool over the original wood walls, beams, and other details that show the home’s early 20th-century history.

And the pragmatist piped up again when we saw the taxes, which are estimated at around $3100/year. Combine that with the economical mortgage, and you’re looking at the possibility of living here for less than $1000/month. See? We told you it was a unicorn.

NYC is less than 2 hours away by car. House includes 2 beds/1.5 baths, 1100 sq. ft., and enough parking for three cars. Or, two horse-drawn carriages, if you prefer to keep things old-school.
