Greek Revival-Inspired Farmhouse near Mongaup Falls, $349,000
Kandy Harris | April 28, 2015We’re all a-flutter this morning over this 18th Century Greek Revival farmhouse in Sullivan County. Why? To start with, you can still see the original stonework all over the house. And, it’s on a lot of land, over 11 acres’ worth. Further, when it comes to Vacation Land in the Catskills, this place is located right in the midst of it all with a series of reservoirs as neighbors, including Mongaup Falls Reservoir (yep, you can fish on it). Speaking of Mongaup Falls, rumor has it that it’s the third tallest falls in New York State. Neat! All of these things are great, but what really won us over about this property is its alleged juicy history. According to the listing, the farmhouse was once a stagecoach stop/local watering hole, and it may have been a brothel at one point, as well as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Good enough for us. Theatre Nerds, guess what? The Forestburgh Playhouse is a 10 minute walk away.
