Live Minutes from the Ashokan Reservoir in this Victorian, $275,000
Kandy Harris | September 21, 2015Our fascination with the Ashokan Reservoir seems endless. Not only is it a gorgeous place to enjoy some outdoor recreation, it’s also a pool of mystery. Underneath the reservoir’s glassy, peaceful surface lies the remnants of long-forgotten Ulster County towns, submerged when the reservoir was created to supply drinking water to NYC back in the early 20th century. We could visit the reservoir a thousand more times and still look out on the water, wondering about the historic properties forever flooded an frozen in time. Luckily, this beautiful robin’s egg-blue Victorian in the town of Shokan escaped some of its neighbors fates and stands, dry as a bone, just five minutes from the Ashokan itself. Every about the interior seems big: the windows, the doors, the shared spaces, even the ceilings. Includes all of our fave Victorian bells and whistles like the wood floors and details, pocket doors, and built-ins. Comes with an acre of land, to boot. Plus, the taxes in the town of Olive are low compared to the rest of Ulster County (around $4700 for this property). Life near the reservoir is starting to sound mighty tempting…
