Marcott Farmhouse: Cottekill, NY

About The Property

Marcott Farmhouse is a classic 1882 Colonial farmhouse that has been in the same family for almost five decades and is ready to enter its next chapter. Sitting on over 21 acres in Cottekill, set back from the road up a long tree lined driveway and overlooking a large pond surrounded by willow trees that perfectly adds to the dreamy country scene.

The home was last renovated in 1978 and has the interior that reflects the era, from the wood kitchen cabinets to the colorful carpeting. It has that true time capsule feel, but the layout and size that can be recreated into whatever you have envisioned.

There’s a large eat-in kitchen for everyday use, plus a separate dining room for hosting. Two spacious living rooms offer flexibility and could potentially be opened up into one larger space. A wood-burning fireplace adds a cozy element, and the enclosed front porch gives you extra living space for most of the year, overlooking the pond where you will regularly see upstate wildlife.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, all with views of the property, and a full unfinished attic that could be expanded into additional living space. There’s a full bathroom on each floor, plus a back entrance with a mudroom that makes day-to-day living easy. Outside, you’ll find a two-car garage and carport for parking and storage.

The land is rich with a mix of open fields, rolling hills, fruit and flower trees, rhubarb shrubs, and wooded for natural privacy. With over 21 acres, there’s so much room and opportunity to add additional features such as a guest house, pool, or tennis court.

The house has been well cared for 48 years plus solid bones and a newer asphalt roof, giving Marcott Farmhouse’s next stewards a strong starting point to make updates with confidence.

Even though the property feels secluded, you are just 5 minutes to Stone Ridge for coffee at Black Dot or yoga at MAMA. Under 10 minutes to Rosendale for popular thrift stores like Clubhouse Vintage or dinner at The Countryside Inn. Then only 15 minutes to Kingston for even more. Plus easy access to the Trailways bus and under 2 hours to the GWB for city commuters.
