280 Cooper Street, Accord, NY

About 280 Cooper Street

Set quietly back from the road in the pastoral heart of Accord, in the Town of Marbletown, 280 Cooper Street is a rare offering with over a century of history woven into its land, structures, and views. Regarded as one of the most desirable roads to live on in Ulster County, Cooper Street still carries that sense of quiet prestige today. Held by only two owners in 106 years, this 14.6-acre property has remained remarkably unchanged in spirit. A 300-foot driveway leads past open fields and mature plantings to a sweet 1920s Cape ready for restoration, surrounded by original bluestone walkways that wind around the house and neighboring gazebo. A brand-new boiler, installed in January 2026, offers a valuable head start for the next owner's vision. And then there is the view. From the towering pine to sweeping open fields, the property captures panoramic views of the Shawangunk Ridge, including a direct sightline to the iconic Sky Top Tower. It is the kind of view that stops people in their tracks. Flat, open, and highly usable, the land offers exceptional potential, whether restoring the existing home or creating a new vision. With town approval, subdivision may be possible. The acreage is equally appealing for those who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle, with plenty of room to spend an hour walking the dog, hiking a path around the field, dirt biking, four-wheeling, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the natural surroundings. Well suited for equestrian or agricultural use, the property features a 3,600 square foot two story barn, fenced paddocks, a run-in shed, and expansive fields ideal for pasture, riding, or training. A level front field could accommodate a future arena, stable, or simply remain open grazing land. Details of its past remain throughout, including blueberry bushes, fruit trees, ornamental plantings, and three varieties of lilac. The current owners have also kept bees here, taking advantage of the open fields and seasonal blooms. A large professionally fenced yard behind the house was designed for the sellers' six Australian Shepherds, with an adjoining fenced area that once served as a vegetable garden. A stream winds through the property, adding to its natural beauty. Set far back from the road, the property offers rare privacy and a quiet, almost hidden feel. It is a place with an old soul, ready for its next steward to restore, reimagine, and carry it forward into its next century.
