<\/p>\nHunter is, along with nearby Lexington, the Catskills town I’ve spent the most time in, so I’ve been paying particular attention to the bargain end of this area.\u00a0 It seems the Mountaintop has fared better than its southerly cousins during the financial downturn, and real estate values have held up better.\u00a0 Plus there’s always the possibility of using your property as a ski rental to buoy prices.\u00a0 All of which means, when you delve under $100k, you find places like this:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Angels and ministers of grace.\u00a0 A lovely, Miss Havisham-esque old wreck, to be sure, but perhaps a little challenging as a DIY rehab, yes?\u00a0 I’m not even linking to the $70k cabin where the listing merrily states “very damp!\u00a0 Could be mold!”\u00a0 *Shudder.*<\/p>\n
Thankfully, there are some more promising entries in the bargain hunt:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
First up is a FSBO from Craigslist.\u00a0 It’s a 4BR (!), 2 bath farmhouse on a quarter acre, conveniently located square between Hunter and Tannersville.\u00a0 It’s had a recent (2008), somewhat flavorless renovation, but at least\u00a0 the major systems have been attended to – the owner reports new water heater, floor, windows, wood stove, well pump and high efficiency propane furnace.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It’s on village sewer, and there’s a deck off one of the upstairs bedrooms.\u00a0 With major sleeping capacity and proximity to the slopes, $99k seems like a bargain on this one.<\/p>\n
10 Clum Hill Road (FSBO\/Craigslist<\/a>) Gmap<\/a><\/span> <\/p>\n Next up is a traditional ski condo.\u00a0 Not usually my bag, but it’s in good shape and sits just two block from the ski-on\/ski-off part of the Hunter slopes.<\/p>\n Yes, okay, it’s bland as saltines despite the somewhat slapdash flourish of the stone fireplace, but I doubt you’ll find a (almost)slopeside condo for less than the $99k they’re asking here.<\/p>\n 142-Q4 Hunter Drive (Win Morrison<\/span><\/a>) Gmap<\/span><\/a><\/span> <\/p>\n Sure, it’s a trailer, but the interior has been completely renovated with a sort of Sauna Chic flair which I really dig.\u00a0 It’s located right in the village, and one picture I found showed a dishwasher and washer\/dryer.<\/p>\n It also apparently comes furnished.\u00a0 Turn-key!\u00a0 $90k.<\/p>\n Village of Hunter (address unknown) (Timberland<\/span><\/a>)<\/span> <\/p>\n This 2BR\/2BA cottage is on Route 214, an incredibly scenic drive from Hunter down past Devil’s Tombstone Campground to Phoenicia.\u00a0 The realtor cleverly excludes the worst of the exterior shots that show up on Realtor.com – there’s a bunch of “TLC” needed here.<\/p>\n That said, the angular paneled den and fireplace are charming, and there’s a seafoam green kitchen suite!\u00a0 1,220 square feet of potential in a great location for $89k.<\/p>\n 3973 Route 214 (Gene Gordon<\/span><\/a>) Gmap<\/span><\/a><\/span> <\/p>\n All right, internet, I almost didn’t show you this last one.\u00a0 Because, to be honest, I am completely smitten with this place and I want it for myself.\u00a0 So promise me that if you buy this place you’ll let us stay there some time, okay?\u00a0 Call it a finder’s fee.<\/p>\n It’s an itty-bitty (650 sq. ft.) 2BR\/1BA with cedar shake siding, a half-acre lot and a creek running along the back.\u00a0 Set just off Platte Clove Road, which runs from Hunter\/Tannersville straight down the side of a gorge into Saugerties.\u00a0 Convenient to everything but secluded and surrounded by high peaks and state land, with low taxes, lovely wood floors, a big flat lawn and an asking price of just $79k.\u00a0 Swoon.<\/p>\n 200 Dale Lane (Unique<\/span><\/a>) Gmap<\/span><\/a><\/span> More pictures of all the properties after the jump!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hunter is, along with nearby Lexington, the Catskills town I’ve spent the most time in, so I’ve been paying particular attention to the bargain end of this area.\u00a0 It seems the Mountaintop has fared better than its southerly cousins during the financial downturn, and real estate values have held up better.\u00a0 Plus there’s always the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,135,102],"tags":[34],"yoast_head":"\n
