Ultra-Modern, Solar Powered or Historic: 5 Houses in Saugerties, N.Y., Starting at $275K

Looking for a country charmer in a quaint upstate village? One of these five Saugerties homes may fit the bill.

Located a 2.5-hour drive north of Brooklyn, the charming town of Saugerties, N.Y., is a popular vacation destination that has been undergoing a renaissance since the 1990s.

Saugerties is west of the Hudson River and east of the Catskills, putting it right at the intersection of some of upstate New York’s loveliest views. The downtown main street is landmarked and has some very interesting businesses worth a visit, including one of the Hudson Valley’s largest indie bookstores, Inquiring Minds Bookstore and Cafe, and antique shops such as Fed-On Lights (great for vintage lighting and bath accessories).

There is also an exquisite landmarked lighthouse within hiking distance that doubles as a bed and breakfast and is a spot prime for picnicking. The town boasts numerous locavore eateries, as well craft-beer goodness at the Dutch Ale House and sophisticated, simple and seasonal fare at Miss Lucy’s Kitchen.

Saugerties’ housing stock offers a mix of high-end properties, affordable homes, residences within walking distance to the village, and places on plenty of land out in the country.

Our picks, located both near and far from the village center, include an ultra-modern contemporary with solar power, a log cabin, and a mid-19th-century farm house. They range in price from $274,900 to $674,900.

Which one would you choose?

A thoroughly modern property located a quick drive from the main village, this four-bedroom, 2.5-bath house boasts 13 acres of land, floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the living area, solar panels, central air, and bluestone-lined walls and walkways. As well, there are custom-built closets and shelving, two ovens in the kitchen, and a deck.

A mid-19th-century Greek Revival farmhouse (that might have an even older section), this home has uncommon potential. It looks to be in good condition, particularly the wide-board floors, but the two kitchens and two baths could use an update and other rooms some restoration. Details include a mid-19th century staircase and doors. Located in the Blue Mountain area adjacent to the Lucas Kill Stream, just outside the town’s limits, the property has two kitchens — one on each level — and an enclosed porch.
