About This Home
Set on 12.7 scenic acres just outside Cobleskill, this impressive 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath stone home blends historic character with modern comfort. Built circa 1860 using stone sourced directly from the property, the home features original moldings, hardwood floors, three fireplaces, soaring 9.5-foot ceilings, and a grand front staircase that anchors the interior. The house is highlighted by the dreamy country kitchen, with updated pantry area to include laundry and wash sink. Major systems are only a few years old, including newer windows, furnace, and central air. A standout feature is the heated sun-room, complete with a fireplace, a functional swim spa/lap pool, and space for exercise or year-round relaxation. The property includes a two-car attached garage, plus a substantial three-car garage/barn with workshop space. The grounds are beautifully maintained with fruit trees, blueberry bushes, perennial gardens, and more than 350 lavender plants, with an additional field already prepared for expansion. A separate studio apartment offers flexible options for guests, extended stays, or rental income. Previously used as a single-family residence, bed and breakfast, and lavender farm, the property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a timeless setting without sacrificing today’s conveniences.
