Stylish 70s Cottage, Well Preserved, with Mega Views in Hillsdale
Three bedrooms, 2 wood-burning fireplaces, a finished basement with wood stove, and long views of mountains and water—with a shared swim and fishing pond on the property.
With 9.7 acres of land and views that reach well past the Hillsdale hillside to mountains and water beyond, 65 Meadow Lane is a 1973 house that earns its keep through what surrounds it as much as what's inside. The lot is private, the setting is high, and the shared swim and fishing pond on the property adds a dimension that most places at this price point in Columbia County can't match.
The house itself holds 3 bedrooms and 3 baths across 2,400 square feet, with 2 wood-burning fireplaces on the main floors. A finished basement with its own wood stove and bathroom functions as a fourth gathering space—media room, studio, or overflow guest quarters—with its own character separate from the main level.
The Hillsdale Historic Hamlet District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010, and the Rodgers Book Barn is just over a mile away on Rodman Road. Catamount is close for skiing, and the Berkshire border is minutes away.
65 Meadow Lane, Hillsdale (NY) is listed at $725,000, offered by Margaret Bower Avenia at Columbia County Real Estate Specialists LLC.
