Catskills - Sullivan County - Ulster County Real Estate -- Catskill Farms Journal

The first of four completed home closings we expect this month started out with a bang yesterday with this in Olivebridge NY.

Big house for a small house.

New Homeowners - first weekend

Heading out the drive.

1300 sq ft, plus a 400 sq ft basement buildout, 2 beds, 2.5 baths, screened porch, mountain views, a little water in the back of the property and most importantly, right next door to our homeowners at Farm 30.  This is the 3rd house we've finished in the glorious south west side of the Ashokan Reservior, about 25 minutes to New Paltz, 10 minutes from Stone Ridge and 40 minutes from Woodstock NY.  Good rural area.

You gotta love a screened porch.

The painters weren't quite done but did my best with the pics.

Cute and versatile kitchen.

One of the bedrooms accented with some salvaged wood.

A study in contrasting materials and products in the bath.

Lots of light into the basement buildout.

And that's it.  13 homes under construction in 3 counties.

Fire Departments are vital to our local communities.  If you rely on the volunteers from the Narrowsburg station, here's your chance to recognize their efforts.

5+ acres, 2000 sq ft, 3 beds, 2 baths, bordering 2500 acres of forever wild land which leads directly to  Delaware River - $385,000.

Well, hate to be a jerk and dance on someones grave (and some may say that this victory dance may signal some sort of character flaw which I will heartily embrace in this instance), but nothing gives me an extra jolt of pleasure than seeing Henning's Local Restaurant sign disappear from the landscape after 2 years.

I've been at this business building thing for 12 years now, been screwed by a fair amount of people, but for some reasons Henning Nordanger's manipulation of my generosity and then the poaching of my #1 guy to help him at his new enterprise, really wedged deep in my crawl.  I think the growth of Catskill Farms blinds people to the day to day effort it takes, and some folks think that to borrow a little here, and take a little there seems without harm to us as a company - but it is harmful, I have just learned to navigate each and every daily avalanche that comes our way.

Even with a lenient landlord and a full support of the cool crowd, he couldn't make a go of it.

Full circle baby, full circle.  Moving on.
