Property Description

Sitting on over 21 acres in Cottekill, Marcott Manor is a classic 1882 farmhouse that has been in the same family for almost five decades and is ready for its next chapter.Set back from the road and up a long driveway is the two floor colonial that appears through the tree line and overlooks a large pond surrounded by willow trees adding to the dreamy country scene. The home was last renovated in 1978, and the interior reflects that era, from the wood kitchen cabinets to the carpeting. It has a true time capsule feel, but the layout and size give you a lot to work with depending on your vision.There's a large eat-in kitchen for everyday use, plus a separate dining room for hosting. Two spacious living rooms offer flexibility and could potentially be opened up into one larger space. A wood-burning fireplace adds a cozy element, and the enclosed front porch gives you extra living space for most of the year, overlooking the pond where you will regularly see upstate wildlife.Upstairs are four bedrooms, all with views of the property, and a full unfinished attic that could be expanded into additional living space. There's a full bathroom on each floor, plus a back entrance with a mudroom that makes day-to-day living easy. Outside, you'll find a two-car garage and carport for parking and storage.The land is rich with a mix of open fields, rolling hills, fruit and flower trees, rhubarb shrubs, and wooded for natural privacy. With over 21 acres, there's so much room and opportunity to add additional features such as a guest house, pool, or tennis court.The house has been well cared for 48 years plus solid bones and a newer asphalt roof, giving Marcott Manor's next owner a strong starting point to make updates with confidence.Even though the property feels secluded, you're seconds from access to the Rail Trail, just 5 minutes to Stone Ridge, under 10 minutes to Rosendale, and 15 minutes to Kingston. Plus easy access to the Trailways bus and under 2 hours to the GWB for city commuters.If you've been looking for a place where you can create your own version of an upstate farmhouse, Marcott Manor is the perfect opportunity for you to bring those visions to life.
