Artist Compound in Canaan
It has that original post and beam style, plus many flexible room spaces in addition to the bedrooms.
I’ve always wondered about this one on my travels into Columbia County, since you can see it from the road. 1977 State Route 295 in Canaan is on 6.2 acres and appears to have been some kind of artist compound in a past life.
The main house is a 4,377-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath home originally built in 1880. It has the original post and beam style inside, plus many flexible room spaces in addition to the bedrooms. Outside, there’s a 15-by-38-foot studio with a huge downstairs space as well as an upstairs storage/work area. There’s also a four car garage.
1977 State Route 295, Canaan, NY is listed for $869,000 by Linnea VanTassel at Country Life Real Estate, LLC.
