Property Description

Ensconced in the rolling hills of Obernburg, in the township of Fremont, this 93-acre expanse may be one of the most enchanting blends of forest and pasture to come to market in years. Once the heart of Hillside Dairy, the land carries a quiet legacy of working fields and open sky. The farmhouse dates to 1909 and is ideally situated, tucked away in its own private world at the end of a long driveway off a quiet, dead-end road. A beautiful wrap-around porch provides a perfect perch for gazing dreamily out over the verdant rolling hills and sunlit meadows. The property spans across three tax parcels. A local farmer hays the fields, providing agricultural assessments which help keep carrying costs low. There are two ponds, one located in front of the house and the other closer to the driveway. With a little vision, the smaller pond could be expanded, creating an even more dramatic foreground to the farmhouse's porch-side view. The home itself is the picture of a country farmhouse: simple, warm, and welcoming. A generous dining room, open to the renovated kitchen, serves as the natural gathering place, equally suited for lively dinners with friends or the ease of an everyday meal. The adjoining family room offers a cozier retreat for reading, quiet evenings, or a favorite series. Off the back of the house is a mud room with a wood-burning stove. An enclosed porch also would be a great spot for making into a 3-season hangout. A barn, built in the late 1980s to replace an older structure, recalls its past as the hub of the dairy operation, with a lower level once used for milking and the old milk house still intact. Today, it easily houses tractors, ATVs, or equipment, while also offering space for a new purpose. As for the land itself, it welcomes both vision and restraint. One might carve out equestrian fields, plant an orchard, or allow the retired pastures to remain untouched, a pastoral canvas preserved in its natural beauty. However it is held, this property offers a rare chance to live within history and landscape at once-private, generous, and deeply rooted in the Catskills countryside.
