Love Farmhouse
Long Eddy, NY
$649,000

A timeless beauty, Love Farmhouse is nestled on 60 acres of private trails, meadows and forests with an in-ground pool overlooking the overlapping hills of Rock Valley. This rural estate is located in the Catskills foothills and just 120 miles from New York City.

The House Tour. The babbling creek abutting the house creates a fitting soundtrack as you approach the covered front porch. Step inside to be greeted by the living room's cozy wood stove with a line of sight into the formal dining room. Antique pass-through cabinets with original wood detailing connect the dining room to the kitchen, lined with additional floor to ceiling cabinetry. Vibrant blue tiling gives the downstairs bathroom a signature feel, and the first floor is rounded out by one bedroom currently used as a sitting room.

The stairwell to the second floor preserves a wallpaper of yesteryear and leads to three bedrooms, one with an extra sitting room or work from home space, and an utterly charming farmhouse bathroom with clawfoot tub and shower.

Aged with grace, Love Farmhouse is full of antique pieces and different textures, the way a family home charmingly accumulates key pieces over time. Furnishings and house contents are included in the sale with some exclusions for personal and staging items. Contents include collectors’ items, such as Stickley furniture, marked and dated.

Check out the brochure above for a full list of house details and other practical elements.

The Grounds. A large, screened porch leading to the pool and fire pit is accessible from the dining room. The 20'x40' in-ground heated pool is just steps from the house.

This property was owned by one of the original landowners of this area. The family carefully selected this beautiful piece of land for their daughter, and the father built the house himself in the 1920s. The creek is prolific, and the land is vast with a natural aquifer high up in the back of the property that could perhaps be used to make a large pond. The acreage is full of natural beauty - giant ferns and azaleas flank the house, a fragrant lilac tree blooms in the spring, apple trees, lilies, daffodils, poppies and peonies grow wild.

The Area. Love Farmhouse is just a few short miles from outdoor adventures, like hiking or swimming at Crystal Lake, clay shooting at Catskill Pheasantry & Clays, refined days spent at the Tennanah Lake Golf & Tennis Club, and fishing on the Delaware and Beaverkill Rivers. A short drive to Callicoon for shops, dining and essentials, and just 120 miles from New York City. Check out this Escape Brooklyn article to get excited about the area.
