\"\"<\/a>If an old Upstate New York farmhouse seems intimidating in size and price, Upstater has another suggestion. Catskill Farms, a Sullivan County-based builder (actually, a former New Yorker, absconded after 9\/11),\u00a0 creates what he calls “new old houses,” inspired by American vernacular architecture. They come in a variety of sizes and styles<\/a> and are quite beautiful, full of light and have the appearance of something sturdy and liveable and homey and architecturally simple and just a little sleek. I likes.<\/p>\n

But the one that caught my eye was Shack 2<\/a>, the “single most revolutionary concept in housing to hit the region ever,” goes their humble copywriting. “How’s that for hyperbole?\u00a0 Hopefully we can sell these for $150k.” I’m not sure where the $190,000 figure came from–more hoping, I guess. The shacks have one bed, one bath, 500 square feet and a bit of land.<\/p>\n

I’m really digging the vibe and attitude of Catskill Farms’ website–it comes across as extremely above board, casual and yet professional. I especially like this: “Catskill Farms pays for EVERYTHING until the home is finished.\u00a0 Our buyers purchase a finished home from us \u2013 we build their custom home on our dime and deliver it finished.”<\/p>\n

If a shack is too small for your Upstate New York second home, or you’ve got a taste for something more modern, check out the mid-century-inspired ranch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Has anyone checked out these houses before? The builder says they’re the only houses that look better in person than on a website!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
