House tour of Kerhonkson's Barn 15

This 1,700 barnhouse features a 3 bedroom, 2 and a half bath on 5.4 acres located in the beautiful Rondout Valley. Sold in 2016 for $500K.

The small towns of Ulster County offer beauty, amenities and charm in abundance.  They offer film festivals and live music. The hamlets and towns that anchor the surrounding land we curate and select for our homes make Ulster County real estate some of the best around for fun, food and festivities (or, if you are like us, backyard siestas and hammocks rank right up there).









The Homes of Catskill Farms are engineered to be as energy efficient as a home can be. Enhanced insulation paves the way for superior performance from our high efficiency furnaces and on-demand hot water heaters. Many of our homes now have heat pumps for their heating source, eliminating the need for gas or oil as a fuel source.

Two Catskill Mid-Century Ranches, part of our Ulster County real estate portfolio, that sold in 2017.

This fancy new ranch house on 5 acres has views, privacy, great neighbors and close to everything without the danger of getting hit by a car when you take your family for a walk like some of the busier Ulster County towns.  3 bedrooms, 2 baths with an open and shared space for living, dining and cooking.  Off the kitchen is a screened porch, and the ground floor is well lit with large glass doors.  Wide plank floors and wood burning fireplaces are a must for this fun design in the shadow of High Point and the Ashokan Reservoir.









This unique new 2,200 sq ft Ranch house is located in a location that allows quick and easy access to Woodstock, Saugerties, Kingston as well as the rest of the Hudson Valley.  3 beds, 3 baths and located in a rare open meadow with views of a nearby pond.   This floor plan allows for common open space in the dining, living and kitchen, and those spaces transition to a large outdoor deck.  High efficiency, low maintenance, cool design and great location.

Holiday Office Party 2017

Office Holiday Party

Benji & Jakes

12/08/2017


This past Friday we held our 2017 Holiday Party at Benji & Jakes. We invited the vendors that work with us, from the company that clears land for our homes to be built to the company that installs security alarms on the newly built homes. The turn-out was awesome and everyone had a fantastic time cracking jokes and munching on pizza. It's a blessing to work with such pleasant people and impeccable companies.


Thank you to the Benji & Jakes family and staff for being wonderful hosts and specially for opening up on Friday just for us. Like many in the area, Benji and Jakes is open only during the warmer seasons, and will re-open in April 2018.




Happy Holidays! :- )

Columbia County Expansion


The first home to kick-off our Columbia County expansion.

We began this design & build journey with inspiration directly from that Old American Home, which has always symbolized a simple, traditional and romantic way of life.  We reinvented Sullivan County real estate when we introduced our new old homes back in - dare I say it - 2003.  Today we have built homes in 4 New York counties, including Sullivan County, Ulster County, Dutchess County and Columbia County, ameliorating the quality of real estate in each. Click here for more Catskill homes for sale.










This 2,916 square foot farmhouse features 3 bedroom, 2 bath, finished basement on 8.5 acres. Talk about the perfect country setting.













This amazing Hudson home sold in late 2016 to (needles to say) super happy buyers.
