Brownstoner Upstate: Good House Hunting in Greene County (Part II)

Continuing with last week’s theme of our favorite Greene County properties, here’s a rambling old farmhouse in rural Ashland, located about 40 minutes west of Catskill village. Ashland is farm country, for sure, but if you’re looking to live life at a slightly more leisurely pace in the Catskill Mountains, this could be the place. The farmhouse includes five bedrooms and three acres of land abutting another 294 acres of state land. High ceilings, gorgeous plank flooring, and a huge kitchen round out the goodies within. Beds: 5. Baths: 2 full, 2 half. Square Feet: 1430. Lot Size: 3 acres. Est. Taxes: $1848. More photos after the jump…

Let’s stick around Ashland and take a look at something modern and unique in the form of this wide-open contemporary on six acres. Includes a wood burning stove, wraparound deck, and granite countertops in the kitchen. We imagine this is kind of what it would be like to live inside of a really nice, really comfortable barrel. Love the slopes? Windham Mountain is 10 minutes from the front door. Beds: 3. Baths: 1.5. Square Feet: 1251. Lot Size: 5.95 acres. Est. Taxes: $2808.

We like that this Greek Revival in Greenville has been restored to the period inside and out, and we could definitely see how antique house lovers might go a little gaga over this one. The huge kitchen with a second story balcony overlooking it was what sold us. That, and the pool. And the outbuildings. And that it’s on 2 acres. Greenville is 30 minutes northwest of Catskill village. Beds: 4. Baths: 2. Square Feet: 3211. Lot Size: 2 acres. Est. Taxes: $5834.

Looking for something a little more unusual? Here’s a 19th century firehouse on the market in the charming village of Athens (we went there a while back), waiting to be transformed into a cool private residence. It’s walking distance to everything in the village, including the waterfront. Beds: 1. Baths: 1. Square Feet: 2050. Lot Size: .04 acres. Est. Taxes: $7938.
