Presenting T.L.C. Farm - 21 pastoral acres featuring 2 center aisleway barns, an indoor arena, a 2 stall run-in shed, 5 fields/paddocks, and a charming 1870 home overlooking it all.

A generator services both barns and the house. Storage shed for equipment. The circa 1870 house exudes charm...a sizeable wrap around front porch with stone column bases, exposed original hand hewn beams, leaded glass windows, a gorgeous front door, original woodwork throughout, wood floors, and high ceilings on both levels. The large kitchen has scads of hickory cabinets with pull-out shelves, plenty of counter space and a fabulous breakfast nook with a newer bay window overlooking the farm. The dining room can seat a crowd and still fit the buffet comfortably, has exposed beams, leaded windows, fabulous woodwork and flows into the living room with that lovely front door and a graceful staircase leading to the second floor. There is a convenient 1st floor bedroom/office/extra room off the living room. Upstairs you'll find 3 more bedrooms all with good closet space, plenty of windows and a large full bath. The attic is windowed, full, and has potential to be finished into even more living space. The stone basement houses the mechanicals and a washing machine dedicated to barn laundry. There is a separate driveway for the house to reduce barn traffic and maintain privacy. Located centrally in Orange County, the farm is near Route 84 and a day trip to to HITS, many area A and schooling shows, as well as great trails at Stewart State Forest, Minnewaska, Mohonk, and some local spots. 60 miles from NYC and close to NJ Transit stations.
