336 County Highway 5, Bovina

A three-building country compound on 15 acres just outside Bovina Center, thoughtfully sited on Gin Hill within an easy walk of the village. The property comprises a main farmhouse, a guest cottage, and a purpose-built artist's studio, creating a rare live/work setting in the Western Catskills. It is an ideal fit for buyers seeking both generous living space and serious working space in one private address--artists, makers, creative professionals, remote executives, or anyone balancing more than one life under one roofline.

Main House -- 1,777 sq ft, c. 1860
A classic two-story American farmhouse with Victorian and Greek Revival details, including a welcoming covered rocking-chair porch and the property's signature two-story bay windows that define the kitchen and dining area. Cherrywood floors run through the open main level, anchored by a newer Jøtul wood-burning stove that keeps the living area cozy all winter. A glassed-in summer room at the rear functions as a second family room and opens directly to a fenced stone patio for seamless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.

The first floor includes a spacious bedroom with three porch-facing windows and an en-suite full bath featuring arched windows and a clawfoot tub--ideal as a primary suite or private guest quarters. A half-bath is conveniently located off the mudroom and pantry. Upstairs, a center-hall stair with a carved baluster leads to three additional bedrooms--including one with a hidden stained-glass pocket door--and a full bath, providing flexible options for family, guests, or office space.

Art Studio -- 2,168 sq ft, built 1993
A purpose-built 30' x 70' studio with high ceilings, an expansive open floor plan, and a durable poured concrete floor--designed for serious creative or commercial work. The building is outfitted with 200-amp electric service, a wood stove, workshop area, full bath, and kitchenette for full-day or extended use. A rear roll-up door allows easy access for large-scale work, equipment, or vehicles. The space functions equally well as a working studio, fabrication shop, gallery, or flexible commercial use, offering significant potential for income-producing or professional activity.

Guest Cottage -- 1,866 sq ft
A Gambrel-roofed cottage with classic white clapboard siding that lives comfortably as both guest quarters and additional work or wellness space. One side features a self-contained one-bedroom suite with a full bath and a compact, well-designed kitchen--ideal for visiting family, longer-term guests, or short-term rental opportunities. The other side is currently configured as a workout and movement studio (yoga, Peloton, TRX), finished in reclaimed barn wood for warmth and character, and easily adapts to an additional studio, home office, or expanded living space.

Grounds -- 15 Acres
The 15-acre setting is designed for true country living and low-key resort-style enjoyment. Outdoor amenities include an in-ground pool with a newer liner and pump, plus a pool house with seating areas for summer gatherings. A productive vegetable garden with greenhouse, a potting shed, and a small animal barn (with room for a garden tractor) support both hobby farming and weekend gardening. Mature plantings and open meadow surround the buildings, offering valley views and regular hawk and eagle activity overhead--a daily reminder of the surrounding Catskill landscape.

For buyers seeking a turnkey live/work compound, creative retreat, or flexible multi-use investment in the Catskills, this property stands out.
