This charming cottage, set on nearly two sprawling acres of pristine, usable land, offers the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. For those with a vision and a passion for the outdoors, this property can become your dream sanctuary. Nestled amidst lush greenery, this home provides an idyllic retreat while being just minutes away from a variety of local amenities.

Plus, with Manhattan only 25 miles away, you can enjoy the peace of suburban living without sacrificing city convenience. This darling cottage has a rich history, having been lovingly occupied by its former owners for over 65 years. The couple, who recently moved, infused the home with their creative spirit. One of the owners, a celebrated fiction writer, was honored with the National Book Award in 1991. His literary works were inspired by their remarkable experiences, including co-directing the Peace Corps in Botswana during the 1980s—the first couple to hold such a position in the organization's history. His wife, a talented textile designer, showcased her artistry in New York City earlier in her career, adding to the creative legacy of this home. With some imagination and creativity, this home can be transformed into a modern masterpiece tailored to your vision. The expansive land offers ample opportunity to expand the existing structure to accommodate your lifestyle needs. Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway, a full-time residence, a creative retreat or an investment opportunity, this Clarkstown cottage provides the perfect canvas for your dreams. Contractors welcome!
