Some homes are just houses. This one is a story.
Built in 1885, Clover Valley Farm is a rare Italianate Victorian fully furnished on 20.67 private acres in the Schoharie County countryside -- where the mountains are your backdrop, the pond is your mirror, and the silence is the luxury.
The architecture alone stops you. Bracketed cornices, broad overhanging eaves, tall narrow windows with hood moldings, and hand-painted sunburst porch panels -- every detail a testament to 1880s craftsmanship, preserved with care and standing proud. The mahogany porches were rebuilt, the roof replaced, and 26 windows updated, honoring the bones while protecting the future.
Step inside through the original mahogany double entry doors. Refinished wide-plank pine floors, a grand turned-spindle staircase, intact period woodwork, and crown molding throughout carry the kind of warmth only time itself can build. Sun pours through tall windows at every hour. The living room gathers around a gas fireplace on cold evenings; the fully updated kitchen with quartz countertops, new cabinetry, and stainless appliances opens to a breakfast room where slow mornings become a way of life. Updated electrical, a new well, tankless hot water heater, and low-profile radiators mean the infrastructure is as sound as the soul. Four spacious bedrooms with far reaching Catskill mountain views offer a quiet retreat. Two renovated baths, including a showpiece clawfoot tub with beadboard wainscoting upstairs complete the picture.
Outside, a stone patio and fenced yard are your private sanctuary -- afternoon sun lingering, evenings belonging only to you. Wake to mist rolling off the Catskills and birdsong before your first cup. In spring the air carries wildflowers; in fall the hillsides ignite. The Schoharie Beverage Trail, Mine Kill State Park, and Windham Mountain are all close by.
Albany one hour. Saratoga 90 minutes, NYC 2.5 hours from your front porch. Close enough to everything. Far enough from all of it!
The life you've been picturing has an address. This is it.
