Contemporary Barn on the Rondout Reservoir, $499,000

Do our eyes deceive, or is this an old-fashioned barn refurbished into a house? Turns out, our eyes do, in fact, deceive. This barn may look all the world like an antique, but it was actually custom-built in 2003 using timber (oak and ash) taken from the very 43-acre property upon which it sits. Weathered in all the right places, naked wood adorns the most of this barn, and an impressive 52+ windows allows total access to its lush environs. That’s probably more windows than your entire block. You’ll certainly never feel cramped in this spread-out compound. Located on the fringe of NYC DEP land and the Rondout Reservoir, where you can fish for trout through late November. Also in the neighborhood: a Bald Eagle observation site. This is the true country, people. Don’t put out a bird-feeder unless you like having bears in your yard. Sure can’t beat those Sullivan Co. taxes, though, which are around $5000/yr. for this property.
