Step into a rare Italianate estate — the Dillenbeck House — built in 1850 and preserved with care for over 170 years. Nestled in the heart of the Mohawk Valley near Indian Castle, NY, not far from historic Little Falls/ Erie Canal destination, and the gateway to the Adirondacks — this 5-bedroom, 3-bath residence sits on nearly 3 acres and combines timeless architectural detail with thoughtful modern upgrades. Opportunities like this rarely come to market in Upstate New York.

Nestled in the heart of the Mohawk Valley near Indian Castle, NY, not far from historic Little Falls/ Erie Canal destination, and the gateway to the Adirondacks — this 5-bedroom, 3-bath residence sits on nearly 3 acres and combines timeless architectural detail with thoughtful modern upgrades. Opportunities like this rarely come to market in Upstate New York. From its distinctive bracketed corbels to the soaring tower and original woodwork, this home is a showcase of 19th-century craftsmanship. A grand spiral staircase anchors the interior, while large windows flood the nearly 2,900 square feet of living space with natural light. Two fireplaces, original moldings, and gracious entertaining rooms set the stage for both intimate family living and formal gatherings. Recent upgrades ensure modern comfort: nearly all windows replaced with energy-efficient designs, an updated 200-amp electrical service with underground lines, new insulation throughout, and full plumbing for central air with ductwork already in place. The kitchen remains the heart of the home, ready for both everyday meals and large-scale entertaining. Outside, a vintage barn has been carefully preserved and enhanced, providing flexible space for storage, hobbies, or future conversion. With 8 garage bays, the property accommodates vehicles, equipment, or a collector's pursuits. The land itself is exceptional — room to farm or homestead — all surrounded by over 1,000 acres of undeveloped land that was once part of the original farm, offering privacy, natural beauty, and an unspoiled backdrop. Already registered as a Bed & Breakfast, this estate also offers income potential for those seeking a live-and-work lifestyle. Perfectly located within reach of Cooperstown, the Mohawk Valley, and just a short drive to the Hudson Valley and Capital Region, this home positions you between Upstate charm and New York City access. Whether envisioned as a private estate, a weekend retreat, or an income-producing property, the Dillenbeck House offers a rare blend of history, function, and opportunity.
