Property Description

Charming Country Cottage with a Pretty Remarkable Neighbor Tucked away on 1.7 acres in a quiet country setting, this charming cedar-sided cottage has plenty of character and room to relax, gather, and enjoy the setting. And then there's the neighbor: roughly 103 acres surrounding one of the world's oldest known fossil forests, where evidence of a 385-million-year-old Devonian forest was discovered. The covered front porch is welcoming from the moment you arrive, with a bench that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. The open living and dining area has wood floors and is warmed by a wood stove, perfect for cozy evenings curled up by the fire. Two nicely sized bedrooms are located on either side of the house, one with an ensuite bath. Just past the charming country kitchen, you'll find a third bedroom and a second bath. From the kitchen, a door opens directly onto the back porch and yard, making it easy to step outside for coffee in the morning or dinner in the evening. The yard really is the heart of this place. There's a big stretch of lawn for playing, lounging, or just enjoying the outdoors, plus a large screened-in gazebo where summer dinners can stretch long into the evening. A shed keeps the garden tools and outdoor gear tucked away. It's the kind of property that gives you plenty of room to enjoy, without feeling like a lot to keep up. The location is peaceful but never isolated - just 5 minutes to Cairo, where you'll find all the essentials, including Hannaford plus local favorites like See & Be Bakery, Red Star Coffee & Bakery, Old Factory Brewing Company, and more. You're also just 15 minutes to Catskill, 25 minutes to Hudson and the Amtrak, and 20 minutes to Windham Mountain - close to hiking, skiing, restaurants, farm stands, and all the little towns and favorite spots that make the Hudson Valley such a great place to spend a weekend or stay awhile.
