Property Description

Some homes are just houses. This one is a story. Built in 1885 and lovingly stewarded across generations, Clover Valley Farm is a rare Italianate Victorian set on 2.55 acres of meadow, woodland, and mountain views -- complete with a heritage carriage barn standing since the property's earliest days. For those seeking a larger footprint, the home is also available to add an additional 18.1 acres with the neighboring parcel to include a pond. The hand-painted sunburst porch panels, ornate bracketed cornices, and grand forward-facing double porch set the tone before you ever step inside. The porches were rebuilt, the roof renewed, and 26 windows replaced -- all without disturbing a single detail of what makes this place extraordinary. Picture your morning: coffee in hand, the Catskills spread wide, nothing but birdsong to interrupt the quiet. Through the original mahogany double entry doors, a grand turned-spindle staircase and refinished wide-plank pine floors carry the kind of warmth only time itself can build. Crown molding throughout, rich original woodwork, and sun pouring through tall windows at every hour. The living room gathers around a gas cast iron stove; the formal dining room retains its original butler's pass-through and period-style pendant; the updated kitchen features quartz countertops, new cabinetry, and a stained glass accent window that catches the afternoon light just right. The breakfast room is where tea, a good book, and a scone become a daily ritual. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms with original floors and far-stretching Catskill views offer a quiet retreat. A sun-drenched sitting nook tucked off the hall invites a candle and whatever you've been meaning to read for months. The showpiece bath features a clawfoot tub, antique brass fixtures, pedestal sink, and beadboard wainscoting. Every practical need has been thoughtfully addressed -- renovated second bath, main-floor laundry, updated electrical, new well, tankless water heater, and low-profile radiators -- so nothing stands between you and simply living here. Beyond the door, the land opens up to a stone patio warmed by afternoon sun, a fenced yard made for quiet evenings, and a heritage carriage barn that has earned its place in the landscape. Wake to mist lifting off the mountains. Let spring bring its wildflowers and fall set the hillsides on fire. Grow what you love, harvest what you planted, and bring it to the table still warm from the sun. When you're ready to venture out, the Schoharie Beverage Trail winds through the hills with local cideries, wineries, and craft breweries worth lingering over. Mine Kill State Park and Windham Mountain keep the adventurous fed year-round. And when the world calls you back, Saratoga Springs is just an hour away, Albany under 90 minutes, Hudson and its Amtrak connection to the city under two. New York City is 2.5 hours from your front porch. Near enough to everything that matters. Far enough to finally breathe. Most furnishings convey. Arrive and simply live. This is the home people spend a lifetime looking for.
