 Known as “La Bonne Terre”, formerly a goat farm, this property consists of 100+ acres and offers total privacy and great views of the Catskill and Helderberg Mountains. The lovingly tended 1860’s Colonial residence features post and beam construction, wide board floors, original moldings, and family room with a working antique wood cook stove on a brick-backed hearth. French doors open to a book-lined library with hand crafted chestnut bookshelves and views of the private grounds…a wonderful place to unwind. The heated sun room was added later and features a slate floor, wainscot ceiling, and custom cabinetry. This property is steeped in history and has many unique characteristics. 

Ground floor has the large kitchen-family room with modern appliances plus the wood cookstove, a walk-in pantry, a library/den, a dining room, a parlor, and a master bedroom and bath. Second floor has three bedrooms, a second kitchen, a bath, and one room that could be another bedroom. Lots of storage space on upper floor.

The land features two contemporary post and beam barns, a two-car garage with an attached workshop which was used for wood-working, and a small shed and chicken coop. You can enjoy plant and vegetable gardens and tap the many maple trees to make your own maple syrup. No pesticides or herbicides have been used on the landscaping, gardens and hay fields in over 40 years. There are approximately 35+ acres of hay field or pasture, and 60+ acres of woods, logged every 10 years. The area around the large house comprises the remaining 5 acres.

The large dairy goat “doe” barn building is a 28’x 40’ pole barn, single story with south-facing roof-level, clerestory windows providing good interior lighting. Two large wood-floored stalls each with double siding doors facing south onto a 5 acre pasture that is securely enclosed with high-tensile fencing.

The smaller “buck” goat barn is a 16’x 24 pole barn, two-story, with a Dutch gambrel-roof. The lower level has three wood-floored stalls each with sliding doors ( two on center stall) facing south onto a 4 acre grazing pasture that is securely fenced with high-tensile fencing.
