It’s hard to believe you’re only 90 miles from New York City when you step onto the 66-acre property at Honey Meadow Farm, in Standfordville. Start with the Colonial farmhouse: A meticulously kept home, it has remnants of its 200-plus-years-old history (a rustic fieldstone fireplace in the dining room, wide-plank floors, woodwork with a beautiful patina). A modern family, however, would find comfort in the updated kitchen, 4 bedrooms, and 2 baths.
There’s a large screened-in porch and a slate terrace, but those aren’t the only outdoor amenities. The picturesque property includes a row of well-preserved red barns (with an equipment barn, the original icehouse, and 12 stalls for your equine interest) and a swimming pond with a dock.
But that’s not all! There’s a two-story smokehouse, now turned into a hip, rustic “party barn” that’s perfect for entertaining. A wall of architecturally interesting windows brings tons of light into the space. Another great spot for relaxing is the shed, with several French doors leading onto a broad deck shaded by mature trees. Sweeping Catskill-mountain views are also part of the package, along with an agricultural exemption which could be continued by the new owner to allay the tax burden.
