Our Marbletown country house was on seven acres connecting a neighbor’s property that we also had use of. Although I was completely miserable living in the woods, I’ve gotta say, it was nice to have trails in my own back yard. Open space is a happy thing and it’s disappearing quickly.
The following listings are upstate homes set on some acreage.
Off the grid, baby! Solar powered cabin set on 30+ acres. Spring water, wood burning stove.
Location, location, location! This Lincoln log cabin is near High Falls. 1 BR, 1 Bath set on 10.2 acres. Best part of all, it looks like it needs work. You can relax AFTER the renovation!
3 BR cute-as-a-button farmhouse on 8 acres. Dehli is a good 3 hours from NYC, but it is breathtaking!
Never been to Stamford, but those old photos sold me on this one! Just read the description: “Established in 1890 Rosemary Farm is part of the historical fabric of Delaware County. This wonderful farm is situated on 114 colorful acres, which includes pond, pine forest, wood lot, apple trees, meadows, trout stream, huge ancient maple trees, 7 bedroom farm house and 2 large barns.” And a tractor comes with the house! Now that’s a good realtor. Can we close by leaf peeping season?

Although I too have living in the woods experience that I did not dig (undesrstatement of the decade), these pics make me drool.

Stamford is a beautiful old resort town, with a gorgeous historic district chock-a-block with huge Victorian mansions. There are several impressive turn of the century resort hotels, as well as one great run down pile you can see as you meander up route 23. I recommend the day trip. Route 23 is beautiful. I always go that way when I go to see my Dad further upstate near Oneonta.

Sorry to all you droolers, but we closed on this property on August 21, 2008. Yes, it’s as beautiful as you imagine.
