Property Description
OPEN HOUSE, Saturday July 5th Noon – 3pm
Cross the historic wooden covered Tappan Bridge and discover a timeless treasure: a storybook farmhouse circa 1912, perched gracefully above the rushing waters of Dry Brook Creek.
Set on 1.02 acres and surrounded by thousands of acres of privately owned and conserved land that will remain forever untouched, this is a rare sanctuary for lovers of history, natural beauty, and deep, restorative peace. The sound of the creek provides a constant, soothing soundtrack, completing the fairytale setting of this secluded retreat.
Inside, original hardwood floors and a century-old stacked stone fireplace—now outfitted with a wood stove—create a warm and inviting heart to the home. The old-country kitchen is brimming with charm, anchored by a gorgeous cast iron enameled farmhouse sink that gazes out over the established gardens.
The home features three cozy bedrooms (two upstairs, one downstairs currently used as a library) and a delightful sunroom just off the kitchen. Sunlight pours in from every direction throughout the house, shifting and changing… did I mention there are stained-glass windows?
Behind the house, a one-room studio with electricity awaits—ideal for a writer’s haven, artist’s nook, or peaceful yoga space. Nearby, a classic red barn stands proudly, offering both picturesque charm and practical storage.
The land rises gently behind the home, leading to a serene flat meadow—perfect for a fire pit, off grid guest cabin, or your own private stargazing perch. The old spring house still exists on the edge of the property with water bubbling down into the creek below.
Cool summer breezes drift off the creek below, while winter invites you to curl up beside the fire.
NOTE: As per FEMA, this property is not in a flood zone and should not require flood insurance.
Complete seclusion yet 20 minutes to Margaretville (supermarket, vibrant shops and restaurants), 20 minutes to the famous Pakatakan “round barn” farmers market (May-Oct), 15 minutes to Belleayre Ski Center and 2.5 hours from the GW Bridge.
