Description

As you approach Mountain Laurel Farm on Ulster Heights Road in Woodbourne, the journey begins with a paved driveway framed by a fieldstone wall and a picturesque ±0.3‑acre pond, setting the scene for the property's natural charm and equestrian capabilities.

Continuing along the driveway, you'll find the main residence, complete with a 3-car attached garage and a one-car garage door giving access to the basement on the opposite side of the home. A spacious 3,109‑square‑foot 1850s farmhouse offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Step inside and you'll discover a welcoming space: the first floor boasts a large eat-in kitchen with ample counter space, modern appliances, and a cozy living room with laminate flooring and two first-floor bedrooms, as well as a bathroom.

Beyond the kitchen, a front room awaits, accessible via a sliding glass door from the kitchen. It features laminate flooring and slate tile surrounding the soapstone wood stove, which provides warmth during the colder months. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and versatile spaces perfect for an office, playroom, or additional living room.

The property also includes a full basement, housing the well, utilities, and a 200‑amp electrical service. A summer kitchen, equipped with multiple sinks and counter space, offers a convenient area for food processing, canning, or handling game and poultry.

The 4,050‑square‑foot Morton barn is a standout feature, complete with water, electricity, a tack room, and even a workshop. The main area features five straight stalls and one box stall with more than ample space to add additional stalls if desired. The barn's asphalt flooring ensures good traction for horses. Additional amenities include fenced pastures, chicken coops, a small orchard with plum, pear, peach, apple trees, and a wineberry patch.

Beyond the main area, an upper hay field offers breathtaking mountain views to the northeast, making this a great place to enjoy your morning coffee or that late-evening beverage of your choice.

The property benefits from approximately 1,180 feet of road frontage, offering the potential for further subdivision. The land includes a combination of fields and forests and flat and sloping terrain with about 220 feet of elevation change. A network of well-maintained trails, spanning roughly 1.3 miles, provides access across the property for hiking, horseback riding, ATVs, and UTVs and for reaching multiple hunting locations.

The property is a sanctuary for wildlife, including whitetail deer, black bear, woodcock, and various small game species. Ducks and geese frequent the pond during certain seasons. The tranquil pond, which hosts perch, bullheads, carp, sunfish, and bass, adds to the property's allure. Additionally, the property's northern boundary adjoins land owned by New York City, providing potential access to an additional +/-92 acres for hunting and recreation.

In essence, Mountain Laurel Farm is more than just an equestrian dream; it's a diverse landscape offering a blend of recreation, farming, self-sustainability, and abundant wildlife, all within reach of Sullivan County's serene landscape.
