About 191 Farm To Market Road Road

Health-Forward Homestead with Equestrian & Orchard Beauty Nestled on 6 acres of holistically managed land, this thoughtfully designed homestead offers a rare opportunity to live in true harmony with nature without compromising on modern comfort. The home itself reflects a deep commitment to wellness and environmental integrity. Natural lime plaster walls, zero-VOC finishes, and real crystal countertops create a clean, serene interior. A custom whole-house water filtration system ensures high-quality water tailored to the property's unique water profile. The living space features a working fireplace, beautiful light from both eastern and western exposures, as well as central air and central vacuum for everyday ease. Throughout the home, all renovations have been completed with natural, non-toxic materials. Spanning 3,566 square feet, the layout includes 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms—highlighted by a generous primary suite on the main level, and three additional bedrooms upstairs (two with private en-suites). A spacious, light-filled studio offers flexible space for creative work, hobbies, or a home office, while a dry, well-maintained basement adds valuable storage or potential for additional finished space. Located just minutes from the Hudson River and the historic charm of Athens and Catskill, the property blends rural tranquility with nearby cultural amenities. Once part of an old orchard, the grounds now feature 12 mature apple trees and over 200 organically cultivated fruit plantings, including raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, apricots, cherries, and peaches. Every inch of the land has been carefully stewarded using regenerative agricultural practices. Deer-proof cedar fencing encloses both the front and back lawns, along with two pastures and a round pen. At the rear, the property borders a vast 120-acre parcel, ensuring exceptional privacy and the feel of unbounded open space. Built to support holistic horsemanship and natural horsekeeping, the equestrian infrastructure is designed with both functionality and equine health in mind. The 4-stall barn—easily expandable to 5—features rubber-matted stalls for comfort and joint health, embedded wooden beams that promote natural hoof wear, and a dedicated sand pit where horses can roll freely, aiding in skin and coat health, spinal alignment, and natural self-soothing behaviors. The layout and materials reflect a thoughtful approach to care, emphasizing low-stress, natural routines for equine partners. Additional structures include a hay barn, tack barn, chicken coop, sauna, and an attached two-car garage. An underground dog fence offers safety and freedom for four-legged companions.
