Farm 57- Farmhouse in Field, Callicoon NY, SuCo
One of our favorite designs, set in an open field with big views, a few miles from Callicoon NY, in the Beechwoods section, in SuCo (Sullivan county). I have this thought that I'm actually the one who coined SuCo, but like Churchill's reputed coining of "Iron Curtain", we will never really be able to verify.
Presenting Farm 57
Here's a version we just finished.
3 beds, 3 baths. We are going to finish off the basement, which pushes this house up to almost 2400 sq ft. That's a big house for a small farmhouse. With a rocking chair front porch, and back deck and screened porch, the outside living adds another 50% to the home, let alone the flat and gently sloping fields abutting it, a perfect palette for badminton, croquet, and other yard games.
What's neat about this home is how tidy the exterior is, with sharp lines, and rubbernecking gables.
Looking to get $479k and worth every penny. This home will be ready by the end of 2020.
Ranch 44 - Just off the drawing board and For Sale
Another Day, Another Ranch hot off the presses, fresh off the drawing board, hot out of the oven. It's the smaller of the two bigger ranches, what we have taken to calling our Mid-Sized ranches.
Again in Kerhonkson. Again off of Ridgeview Road. Again off a private pretty road. We present.....Ranch 44.
This 1900+/- home has pleased a lot of families. 2 bedrooms upstairs that share a big bath, and 1 bedroom on the ground floor that has a bath itself.
The kitchen is open and has a clear shot across the entire first floor living space, including the wood burning fireplace and out to the deck. There are two living rooms - one on each floor.
Deck and screened porch add another 300 sq ft to the house during 3 seasons, and are fed right off the kitchen.

All in all, easy house for easy living. Accommodates guests as easily as solitary weekends with the family and dog.
This home is just getting started, is ready for full personalization, and should be delivered in early 2021.
