About this property

Highly Motivated Seller - dropped price to 1/2 of what it was! #1230 Private Riverside Retreat, Eastern Montgomery County No one can build on either side, hay meadows are across the road and, to the west - a one minute walk to swim or fish in the Schoharie, where you have 500' of owned frontage (498' frontage along the road). You'll drive right by and never notice the place, as the home is hidden both from road and from river. Your own private world on 1.4 acres. Huge trees of many kinds are everywhere, plus flower beds and fruit & nut trees: peach, prune-plum, cherry, mulberry, walnut. There is a a fenced in vegetable garden spot with a garden shed/chicken coop/playhouse. Wildlife roams through freely; the bald eagles and the fox kits are especially fun to watch. Everyday, you can hear the Schoharie rippling right from your home. The home is totally unique, a bit whimsical, and in excellent condition, with, among other things, a recently updated septic (2011), well (>300') and water system (2015), furnace (2018), roof, even a new piered foundation (2011). 4 zone gas HW heat plus wood stove and stone fireplace; you'll be snug and warm. If you are a wood-lover, this is the place for you. Many kinds of woods are utilized to great effect inside. There are walls of walnut and cherry wood, plus cedar, white oak, red fir... Each ceiling is wooden and the floors are every bit as nice. They do not believe in taking shortcuts here. Master carpenters have always been hired whenever they decided to make updates and improvements. There are 7 rooms, 3 of which are bedrooms. County records show it as 1160ft2, but I do not believe that includes the huge wrap-around former porch, which is now a fully integrated living space. Nearly everywhere, the ceilings are cathedral, sloped, and are wooden, either tongue and groove or with exposed rafters (extra insulation is above these - not to worry). All floors are wooden. 200 amp electric with some pendant lights. Let's explore the many features. The kitchen/entryway has a multi-paned windowed front door. A wood stove sits on a large custom-made bricked hearth and chimney area here. Custom hickory counter, granite sink, with 2 commercial grade stainless steel tables are on the other side. All appliances were new in 2018 (stove, dishwasher, 2 refrigerators + a stackable washer/drier). There is a security system. The living room contains the creek stone fireplace & chimney (separate flue from the chimney used for the wood stove). An antique wooden bathtub is utilized as a wood bin. Since this is the only room without cathedral ceilings, crown molding was able to be used. A large center beam supports the ceiling and the story above it. It has both storage and coat closets and a collapsible attic entry. The large wrap-around former back porch is heated and insulated and has walls of windows. They use this for dining, so they can look out onto the grounds or over to the river. It's the first choice of guests to use this room for sleeping. It has extra closet space and a moveable separation for the laundry. Base walls here are of cherry. There are 1 1/2 baths - the main bath features a clawfoot tub inset into a cedar alcove with shelves and next to it is a black onyx stand-alone shower, one with brass inlays and handrail. And then there is the special Mexican Sun hand basin for hand and face washing. Pretty neat. The second floor bedroom has plank flooring, a skylight and a Civil War era entry door. A stairs with decorative white oak rails and bannister lead to it. Off it is the half bath. The study has a wall-mounted TV and, with the addition of a closet or boudoir, could become a third bedroom. The basement has a work shop area and is drive-through for lawn equipment. It was recently rebuilt and has a dirt floor which could be easily excavated for additional living space or a wine cell.. [Contact us for further information. They won't let me write all that is needed.)

Questions to ask before you buy

Good questions for any home near the slopes.

  1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
  2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
  3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
  4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
  5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
  6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
