Do you want to live sustainably? Down a quiet, dead-end road in the sleepy town of Shawangunk sits your private sanctuary, a circa 1900 old style farmhouse on just shy of 100 wooded acres. The home needs renovations/TLC, but with 6 bedrooms it can hold an army. Hardwood floors (as seen), exposed beams and some period touches bring character to the house. Enjoy a large woodburning stove to take the chill off and save on heating bills. What to do with all this land? Maybe your hunting club is looking for the perfect large property with plenty of bedrooms, you're looking for space to ride quads and bikes, you want a zen spot to sit next to a natural spring, you want to make maple syrup or garden and can your bounty (storage in the cool basement summer kitchen), or maybe just a place to call home where you can live in harmony with nature. There are so many possibilities here! The property is a mix of forest and meadows, and has an old silo and barn foundation from yesteryear remaining on the land. The property is a certified tree farm as part of the American Tree Farm System, a program of the American Forest Foundation. This entails having a forest management sustainability plan (not farming trees!) that supports a healthy environment for trees, plants and wildlife, and enjoys generous tax relief benefits. There are only (approximately) 1,100 certified tree farms in NY State. Located in the Pine Bush School District, the home is just a few minutes drive to town amenities such as shopping and main street eateries. Also close by is world class outdoor recreation including Minnewaska State Park and Sam's Point. 17 miles to the train and 73 miles to the GWB makes the home commutable or a perfect weekend getaway.
