This Converted Barn in New Paltz Has a Ton of Space Inside

  |  October 29, 2025

Upstater is visiting a big, rambling converted barn in New Paltz today.

The cedar exterior is rustically beautiful, and the mass of windows on the gable end of the home promises a bright interior. Don’t miss that attached garage, too. The listing says the property boasts an original Huguenot stone wall, as well.

The house measures 2,000 square feet, and has three bedrooms.

The front door is just off a flagstone patio.

It opens to a foyer with a curved stairway leading up to the cavernous second-floor living space.

Do you see the tree-trunk support pillar and natural-wood beams? That floor, with its rough texture and ancient knots, has vintage charm. A woodstove helps warm up the space.

The kitchen is large and functional; the appliances, including an electric range and a stainless-steel, French-door fridge, are new, but the cabinetry and counters could use an update.

On the other side of the island is room for a dining table. The southern exposure is a haven for houseplants.

Exposed rafters and other wood accents pop through the walls and ceiling of this bedroom, which is painted blue and has beige wall-to-wall carpeting.

This bath is modern, with a marble-tile tub/shower, black accents, and a black shelf.

The bathroom also has wooden wainscoting and a woods-themed mural.

A live-edge shelf spans the center of this bedroom.

Purple paint offsets more wood beams in this spacious and bright bedroom.

The owner began work on a mother-daughter suite: This bedroom has woodsy accents and wall-to-wall carpeting.

The second bathroom has a dual-sink vanity with multi-toned wood accents, and a tub/shower with mirrored doors.

A kitchenette is adjacent to that bath.

The house is so large that the second floor also includes an expansive recreation room with space for a pool table…

…and a ping-pong table (and more plants).

The lower floor (at foyer level) is home to a huge woodworking shop. There’s a ton of potential in this home; plus, it sits on 1.36 acres.

It’s actually next to the SUNY New Paltz campus, which means arts and culture are steps away at The Dorsky. The house is listed for $949,000.
