Catskill Farms
The second we think about moving from our house my thoughts almost immediately go into making a bigger move. A move to a different part of NY where the prices are for house are much less and we could get so much more space!
I eventually end up searching for houses in the Catskills, Woodstock, Kingston area of New York. It literally makes me want to cry when I see all of the beautiful houses and the amazing prices! Sadly though Jon’s work is here on Long Island and he can’t telecommute at all so for now it is what it is.
A girl can dream though and my latest obsession has been Catskill Farms.Normally I look for old homes I can renovate, but Catskill Farms is a company where you can look at land and then look at their different styles of construction be it Farmhouse style or Cottage style and they will do all the work for you and present you with your new home! They also have mini cottages, barns and mid century ranches!
I’m loving this ranch they just sold!
This farmhouse is also screaming my name:
This is a combo of their farm style and barn style:
This farmhouse is amazing and a total forever home:
So many pretty houses! Who is moving with me!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
I’m totally with you. I have similar day dreams (but I can’t telecommute so its a moot point). I actually poured over the Catskill Farms site a few months ago. Totally dreamy. Their prices aren’t so competitive for that area – but you pay for beauty.
If you really want to drive yourself crazy, see how much house a little sum gets you in Texas or Virginia. Ugh.
Oh I know. I can’t even watch Fixer Upper with all of those super cheap houses in Waco, TX. Crazy! I could buy at least 5 of those for the cost of my house here in NY.
DO NOT START ME ON FIXER UPPER! That show breaks my heart every time I watch it ( and of course I watch it!)
