Five Acres and a Craftsman Cape near the Catskills, $119,900

The price of 5 acres alone just a skip away from the Great Northern Catskills is decent here, but that’s not all you get. With it comes a cute-as-can-be Craftsman-style 1940s Cape with 2 beds/1 bath, 1000 square feet, and an enclosed porch overlooking a stream (the Jan De Bakkers Kill stream, to be exact). The living room woodstove should keep things warm enough, and the partial attic looks ripe for a renovation into a extra bedroom or small workspace/studio.

The location is semi-private off of a country road minutes from Catskill Park, Kaaterskill Falls, and the village of Catskill on the Hudson River. Here’s the rub: There’s a mobile home on the property, which might not be something you want. Or, you could trick it out and turn that double-wide into the coolest, quirkiest AirB&B this side of the Catskill Creek. You think we’re joking? Maybe this will convince you and provide inspiration (also if you’ve stylishly renovated a double/single-wide mobile home in the Upstater area, please, please let us know and send pictures).

Meanwhile, this property is a straight-up steal.
