We can’t spend a week focusing on creative and artistic communities without going back to where it all started: Palenville. The Catskills’ original art colony still clings to its art roots with a Hidden Gallery Walk held every summer, but these days, Palenville hamlet in Greene County might be best known for its myriad swimming holes and proximity to popular destinations like Kaaterskill Falls and Hunter Mountain. In other words, it’s a gateway community that’s both in the Catskills yet still close to the Hudson River (see how we resisted the urge to use the cliched phrase “best of both worlds” to describe it?). If this notion intrigues you but you don’t want to spend a ton of money on a house, allow us to direct your attention to this recently-renovated affordable Vic right in Palenville’s center. Includes 4 beds/1 bath, an interior neat as a pin and ready for your artistic flare, a roomy yard (over a quarter-acre), raised garden beds, two sheds, and a potential guest cottage, once a barber shop in the 1940s, in need of fixing up. Furnishings are included. It’s also currently available as a rental (here’s the Airbnb listing). As Goldilocks would say, this place is just right.
