A Unique Opportunity on Nearly 25 Acres in Sparrowbush, NY - Lovingly family-owned and developed over generations, this remarkable nearly 25-acre property is a rare offering—one that combines history, privacy, natural beauty, and endless possibilities. Once a dream lifestyle realized for its owners, the land boasts a large lake fronting the property, a tranquil creek bordering the rear, and mature trees that have been carefully pruned and tended over the years. The result is an open and inviting front and back yard, while the surrounding acreage provides a serene and private natural retreat.
Fronting NY-Route 42, the first feature you will encounter is a 93 sq m (1000 sq ft) commercial building, historically operated as a thriving general store for many years. While not currently in operation, this building is brimming with potential. It includes its own parking, a cozy covered front patio, a basement with garage access and ample storage, a full bathroom, and an industrial kitchen. The building is equipped with separate electrical, heating, well, and septic systems from the residence, allowing for flexibility and independence.
Whether you envision reopening a general store, creating a studio, office, cafe, or pursuing another commercial or creative venture, this space offers a unique opportunity with just a little TLC. Continue down Route 42 to discover the long, winding driveway that leads to the picturesque 102 sq m (1100 sq ft) ranch-style home, built in the late 1960s and well-maintained over the years. The covered back porch offers a private and peaceful view of the woods and leads into a charming kitchen with a classic 1970s flair.
The front main entrance welcomes you onto an oversized deck with picturesque lake views just to the left of the home. Inside, the home features hardwood floors throughout, a new, clear picture window in the living room, and two stone-faced fireplaces with wood-burning stove inserts—one on the main level and another in the walk-out basement—perfect for supplementing the oil heat. The layout includes three bedrooms and one full bathroom, ready to be revitalized with light cosmetic updates. A full walk-out basement houses the washer and dryer and includes plumbing roughed in for a future bathroom.
The lake gently separates the residence from the shop on the road, but a carefully sculpted path through the woods meanders around the lake, offering a scenic and tranquil walk. An additional outdoor shed provides the perfect space for gardening tools, hobby storage, or the exciting possibility of a future chicken coop for those dreaming of a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The potential here is truly endless—an upstate retreat with income-generating possibilities, a small business owner's dream with a short walk to work, or a private compound surrounded by nature.
While the setting feels secluded and peaceful, the location is prime: a mere 15-minute drive to the nearest town with access to a train to NYC. Beyond the property, enjoy all the Catskills and Hudson Valley have to offer, including the Delaware and Neversink Rivers, wineries and distilleries, hiking and biking trails, specialty shops and restaurants, the Bethel Woods Arts Center, and more. If you are ready to slow down, spread out, and settle into a place that supports both lifestyle and opportunity, 1124 NY-Route 42 is waiting to welcome your next chapter.
