New Barn style home on 17 acres with best in class views.  Designed to capture both the dramatic views and the land’s intrinsic utility, this home sports lots of windows and decks.  3 - 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 4,000 sq ft.  Design details include wood burning fireplaces, wide plank floors, open floor plans, cool mudroom and spaces that flow together well.  Energy efficient with enhanced insulation and high-efficiency mechanicals.  Collaborative house design during construction.  Developed, designed and being built by Catskill Farms.  Land all usable and easy site for guest houses, pools, and other outbuildings.


The Homes of Catskill Farms are engineered to be as energy efficient as a home can be. Enhanced insulation paves the way for superior performance from our high efficiency furnaces and on-demand hot water heaters. Many of our homes now have heat pumps for their heating source, eliminating the need for gas or oil as a fuel source.


The small towns of Ulster County offer beauty, amenities and charm in abundance.  They offer film festivals and live music. The hamlets and towns that anchor the surrounding land we curate and select for our homes make Ulster County real estate some of the best around for fun, food and festivities (or, if you are like us, backyard siestas and hammocks rank right up there).

Kerhonkson Farmhouse with Wide Views



It’s always nerve-racking to pair a home with a one-of-a-kind piece of land.  And that’s exactly the issue here.  Lot 10 – all 7.4 acres of it -  sits up high on the Olivebridge town line, with solid long range views across 180 degrees.  After much deliberation, We picked Farmhouse 44.  This 2,442 sq ft 4 bedroom, 3 bath home works here, with decks and windows poised to capture the changing seasonal views outdoors.   Covered porch, 2nd floor deck off MBR, wood burning fireplace, wide plank floors, open flow kitchen/dining/living room space, and a full unfinished basement.   Fantastic finishes and flow.  With good homes for sale in Ulster County scarce, this one will check all the boxes.
