A Country House In The Town Of Milan

This fine country property is situated on quiet South Road, near the hamlet of Lafayetteville, in the Town of Milan. The property is conveniently located in close striking distance of the Taconic Parkway and Route 199, and is reachable in less than a two hour drive from Manhattan.

The property consists of 90 acres of old meadow and mature woodland. Attractive panoramic views of the Catskill Mountains are to be had from several points on the property, an advantage should one wish to subdivide off a lot or two.

The main residence is a four bedroom dormered cape built in 1985. It features a spacious Great Room housing the kitchen, dining area, and family room with fireplace. The den on this level could function as a 5th bedroom as it has direct access to the shower bath. The two car garage was converted to a family room.

The grounds are presently home to the Hudson Valley Raptor Center. There is an 8 stall stable, now housing hawks, which could easily be returned to its original use. There are several other large structures adjacent to the barn which could be adapted to other uses.
