Description
At the very end of an upstate country road, where the pavement turns to gravel and seems to surrender to the land, sits a home that feels like it was placed with intention. 109 Paul Horn Rd isn't just a house - it's a retreat, a homestead, and a promise of a slower, richer way of life. Surrounded by 5.50 acres of open fields and woods, the property offers complete privacy and mountain views, a silent sentinel that watches over the land.
The sun rises early here and lingers late, casting golden light across the stamped concrete patio and shimmering in-ground pool. It's the kind of place where summer days stretch long and lazy, and evenings are spent under stars that city dwellers forget exist. Stones meander through the property like old friends, and a chicken coop stands ready for your flock, with room to welcome goats, sheep, and other farm companions you choose to bring into your homestead.
Inside, the home is warm and welcoming. The country kitchen, with its white cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, opens into the dining room. The living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for snowy Catskill nights, while the family room offers space to sprawl, create, or simply be. Hardwood floors run through the living room and several bedrooms, tile anchors the kitchen and baths, and plush carpet softens the primary suite. Wide plank luxury vinyl adds a modern touch to the family room while natural light pours through every window, illuminating the textures and tones that make this house feel like home.
Upstairs, five bedrooms offer space for sleeping, guests, or creative pursuits. A full bath serves the upper level, and every room is touched by the same quiet light that fills the rest of the home.
But the story of 109 Paul Horn Rd doesn't end at the property line. Just minutes away lies the town of Catskill, a place where history and creativity intertwine. Once the stomping grounds of Hudson River School painters like Thomas Cole, the town still hums with artistic energy. Main Street is lined with galleries, boutique shops, and eateries that feel both timeless and fresh. The Thomas Cole National Historic Site offers a glimpse into the roots of American landscape painting, while the Hudson River Skywalk connects Catskill to Olana, the home of Frederic Church, another titan of the movement.
Catskill is more than a cultural hub - it's a gateway to adventure. Boating on the Hudson River, hiking in the Catskill Mountains, and skiing at Windham Mountain are all within easy reach. The town's calendar is dotted with seasonal festivals, farmers markets, and community events that bring neighbors and visitors together and celebrate the region's heritage. Whether it's a summer concert in the park or a crisp autumn stroll through the Riverside Walk or RamsHorn-Livingston Audubon Sanctuary, Catskill invites you to slow down and savor.
Living at 109 Paul Horn Rd means waking up to birdsong instead of traffic, measuring time in seasons instead of schedules, and finding beauty not just in the landscape, but in the rhythm of a life well-lived. This is where your story finds its setting, nestled in the hills and heart of Catskill.
