Nestled in its own valley and approached from a long driveway is this lovely Dutch stone house of 1754. It was built by the Rushmore family in 1754 and still retains 95 acres of the original farm.

In recent years it has been tastefully renovated, bringing out many of the original features of the home including three fireplaces, rich cherry-colored hard pine flooring, hewn rafters and collar beams under cathedral ceilings, early moldings and hardware and the original stone smokehouse.  

The home is surrounded by lawn and large shade trees. Adjacent is a pond, stream, three car garage, and garden house. Beyond are countless acres of fields and woodlands.

Although an unusually large property it is remarkably close to the vibrant village of Catskill where an energetic new community of enthusiasts are restoring period houses and revitalizing Main Street with galleries, life-style stores and community events. Acquiring this desirable home is your entry into an exciting life style of like-minded friends.
