Home Details for 574 State Route 32 N

226-Year-Old Stone Farmhouse Seeks Visionary for Long-Term Commitment (Cosmetic Finisher, Not a Fixer-Upper). Standing on 5.5 private acres, this 1,963-square-foot, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom property features rock-solid 16-inch-thick original stone walls built in 1800 and completely rebuilt in 1989. Distinguishing details include 11-to-16-inch wide-plank hardwood floors, hand-crafted Douglas fir beams, a private clay-bottom pond, and front-row mountain views that handle sunrise and sunset without you lifting a finger. I've been standing on this ridge since before the country figured out electricity, and I've held up just fine, thank you. I received a proper 750-square-foot addition in 2008 featuring a new primary bedroom, full bath, Jacuzzi tub, and updated wiring, followed by a renovated primary bath in 2022. My structural bones and major systems are tight and well-kept. What I haven't done is decide who I want to be when I grow up—that part's on you. I'm looking for someone with taste, not someone with a sledgehammer. Bring your personal cosmetic vision to the open-concept living room and kitchen; I already handled the heavy lifting. For the ambitious buyer, I come with a framed, 300-square-foot attached space (2025) with dedicated electric, just waiting for your finishes to bring the main house to 2,263 square feet. But if you’re looking to build a true compound, the real prize is on the other side of the parcel: a separate 1,000-gallon concrete septic system (2018) already in the ground, prepped and ready for a brand-new, detached structure up to 800 square feet. The hardest, dirtiest site infrastructure is already finished away from the main house. You just build the vision: guest cottage, art studio, high-yield short-term rental, or a detached retreat for guests you love but need boundaries from. Deal breakers: fear of commitment, allergic to character, thinks drywall improves on 16-inch original stone. Location highlights include being 5 minutes to the Village of New Paltz for dinner, 15 minutes to Kingston and the historic Rondout waterfront, and 20 minutes to Mohonk Preserve when you need to remember why you moved upstate. Ready when you are at 574 State Route 32 N, Esopus, NY.
