About this home

This upstate New York farm property in the village of Delhi, NY expresses the dream of rural living. With a feeling truly from another time, and yet a part of a vibrant Catskills culture, the property connects historic charm with modern community life. This one-of-a-kind, multi-use property offers spectacular architecture, rich earthy aromas, and classic greenhouses that creates sense of possibility and bounty. In the often fickle climate of the Catskills, the greenhouses provide a daily horticultural experience. Think unusual flora, dramatic succulents, flowing pageantries, and a perpetual potager that keeps meals diversified all year long. The main greenhouse, a classic Lord & Burnham glass structure measuring 76 by 25 feet, houses a prominent grape vine that winds through the space. At the far end of the atrium, a comfortable potting studio is heated by a wood stove. A second smaller Lord & Burnham greenhouse, modern hoop-style growing spaces, and numerous outdoor garden beds, including water-lily beds, add expansive options for horticulture projects. The 2-story building features impressive workspaces, a convenient half-bath, a dedicated private office, and a new glass-walled extension with a wood stove that functions as a four-season office or display room. Buyers can consider a public storefront or retain these areas for entrepreneurial projects. Upstairs, a spacious, modern 3-bedroom, 1-bath apartment offers a fantastic live-work arrangement or a lucrative rental opportunity. The full, walkout basement houses modern utilities, including a coal-fired furnace, an oil-fired burner, and a root cellar that preserves harvest safely through winter. Sited on 1.4 acres, the property includes a carriage house that provides tool storage and a chicken coop from the Andrews estate that completes this noble setting. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of paradise in Delhi, New York.
