A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity on Nearly 25 Acres in Sparrowbush, NY - Family-owned and lovingly developed over generations, this remarkable nearly 25-acre property is a rare offering—one that blends history, privacy, natural beauty, and endless possibility. Once a dream come true lifestyle for ...its owners, the land features a large pond at the front of the property, a peaceful stream bordering the rear, and mature trees that have been thoughtfully pruned and manicured over the years. The result is an open, welcoming front and backyard, while the surrounding acreage provides a serene, private nature retreat. Fronting NY-Route 42, the first feature you’ll encounter is a 1,000 sq ft commercial building, historically operated as a thriving general store for many years. Though not currently in operation, this building is brimming with potential. It includes its own parking lot, a cozy covered front patio, a basement level with garage access and ample storage, a full bathroom, and an industrial kitchen. The building is equipped with separate electric, 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 business or creative venture, this space offers a unique opportunity with just a little TLC. Continue along Route 42 to discover the long, wraparound driveway leading to the quaint 1,100 sq ft ranch-style home, built in the late 1960s and well cared for throughout the years. The covered back porch offers a private, peaceful view of the forest and leads into a charming kitchen with classic 1970s flair. The main front entrance welcomes you onto an oversized deck with picturesque views of the pond just to the left of the home. Inside, the home features hardwood floors throughout, a bright new picture window in the living room, and two stone-faced fireplaces with wood-burning stove inserts—one on the main level and one in the basement—perfect for supplementing the oil heat. The layout includes three bedrooms and one full bath, ready to be revitalized with light cosmetic updates. A full walk-out basement houses the washer and dryer and includes roughed-in plumbing for a future bathroom. The pond gently separates the residence from the store at the road, yet a carefully carved woodland path winds around the pond, offering a scenic, 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-producing 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: just a 15 minute drive to the nearest town with access to a train to NYC. Beyond the property, enjoy everything the Catskills and Hudson Valley have to offer, including the Delaware and Neversink Rivers, wineries and distilleries, hiking and biking trails, dining and specialty shops, Bethel Woods Arts Center, and so much more. If you’re 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 its next chapter.
