We’ve mentioned this property before in previous iterations of Upstater, but we can’t resist the chance to bring it into the spotlight once more. Can you blame us? Look at that living room. And that’s just for starters.

Let’s start with the crowning jewel of this property situated in the Catskill Park: The c.1835 post & beam main house with a dizzying amount of windows. Logistics over glass cleaning aside, we love that they bring the outdoors in and flood the interior with light, which is exactly what you want in a gallery or studio space. A new wing is attached to that and includes a kitchen, master bedroom suite, living room, and dining room which can be partitioned from the gallery space. Interesting fact about this barn: It was built in the Schoharie Valley and was relocated to this spot in West Shokan, Ulster County, in the 1920s.

But that’s not all. The 16-acre property includes a few other perks, too, like an Adirondack-style cottage built in the 1920s, a gatehouse/guesthouse, and a sauna house. All of them are equipped with kitchens and updated baths.

The property is flanked by the Catskill State Forest, which is designated forever wild. Situated near the western tip of the Ashokan Reservoir, 2.5 hours from NYC.
