Property Description
Welcome to Stony Creek--a distinctive country compound where history, nature and possibility come together on 5.5 picturesque acres in the quiet hamlet of Medusa. More than simply a home in the country, this special property brings together an updated circa-1850 residence, spring-fed koi pond, two impressive barns, additional outbuilding, attached two-car garage, expansive lawns, mature trees and landscaping, old stone walls and a separate adjoining building lot--all within one remarkable setting. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the character of an earlier era alongside the comforts of today, with two bedrooms featuring en-suite baths. Original details remain throughout, including vintage glass doorknobs, original hardware and skeleton keys, while vaulted ceilings and an abundance of windows bring light into the home and frame views of the surrounding landscape. The generously sized primary bedroom offers exceptional space, while a light-filled sunroom wrapped in windows provides an inviting place to enjoy morning coffee, a good book or simply the changing seasons. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features granite counters, butler's pantry and an eat-in area, while the cozy den--with its antique woodstove and brick surround--adds the warmth and character that belongs in a country home like this. Step outside and Stony Creek reveals what truly sets it apart. Stone walls wind through established grounds where broad lawns, mature trees and wooded areas create a wonderful balance of open space and privacy. At the spring-fed pond, koi move beneath the water while a nearby swing and quiet sitting areas invite you to slow down and enjoy the surroundings. For those who need room for hobbies, collections, equipment, a workshop or creative pursuits, the property's outbuildings add an entirely different dimension. The substantial historic barn--with its massive timbers, soaring interior volume, loft and work areas--is a remarkable structure in its own right, while the additional barn and smaller outbuildings provide even more versatility and perfect for those wishing to have animals. Also included is a separate adjoining building lot, adding valuable flexibility and the opportunity to preserve additional privacy or explore future possibilities. Despite the peaceful country setting, Stony Creek remains within convenient reach of the surrounding region--approximately 15 minutes to Greenville, 35 miles to Albany, about 35 minutes to Amtrak and roughly 2.5 hours from Manhattan. Full-time country residence, weekend retreat, gathering place, hobby property or creative escape--Stony Creek isn't simply a house on 5.5 acres. It's an entire country property, with the space, character and possibilities to make it uniquely your own.
