155 Lee Hollow Road

Description

Once a place of learning and laughter, this former schoolhouse has been thoughtfully reimagined into a Catskills cottage—where history, simplicity, and potential meet on a quiet, town-maintained road in the Town of Bovina, just minutes from the beloved villages of Andes and Delhi. Set on approximately an acre with a mostly level backyard and fenced garden area, the setting feels open and peaceful, with an extraordinary bonus across the street: approximately 75 acres of NYC DEP recreational land, open to the public for hiking and hunting, with access to the Little Delaware River. Nature, trails, and water are quite literally part of the surrounding and the lifestyle here. A sweet front porch welcomes you home, leading to a charming Dutch door that opens into warm wood floors and an inviting interior. The living room centers around a cozy woodstove—perfect for crisp Catskills evenings—while propane hot-air heat provides comfort year-round. A dining area with built-in cabinetry nods to the home’s past, and the efficient kitchen makes smart use of space, complete with a washing machine and nearby utility area with dryer. The layout includes a full bathroom, a first-floor bedroom, and a spacious upstairs sleeping loft. An attached one-car garage adds practicality. A side porch addition offers an opportunity for the next steward: currently in need of removal or renovation, it invites vision and creativity. Whether restored or reimagined, this space underscores the home’s potential and its story still unfolding. Affordable, historic, and rich with charm, this is a rare chance to carry forward the legacy of a Catskills schoolhouse—adding your own chapter in a setting that celebrates nature, history, and the simple beauty of rural life.
