Cobblestone Hill

About this property

Logs crackle in the fireplace, autumn color burns in the deep woods past the windows, and the old farmhouse starts to feel like a page from a fairy tale. Built in 1932 and freshly renovated, it pairs industrial edges with warm traditional decor.

The kitchen invites real cooking, with a gas stove and a dining room that looks out over the surrounding land. Put a record on while dinner simmers, or close the doors of the library for a film or a quiet book. Two bedrooms and a half bath wait upstairs, with a full bath and rain shower below, and the cottage sleeps six.

Outside, eight acres of woodland unfold behind old stone walls, young apple trees, and a growing garden. Mornings mean coffee under the trees, often with deer drifting past at the forest edge. After dark, the gathering table by the grill holds a long dinner, and the fire pit in the front yard is where the stars come out.

Minnewaska State Park is a quick drive, and trails across the Shawangunks are close at hand, with the Catskills rising to the north. Back toward Ellenville, restaurants are minutes away, and nearby towns offer pizza and local brews. Then the woods go quiet, and the leaves keep turning.
