30 Peters Rd, Stamford, NY 12167

Nestled above the rolling valleys of the Catskills, this enchanting historic schoolhouse is one of the last of its kind. Perfectly perched between the charming towns of Stamford and Hobart (a literary gem known as the only official book village east of the Mississippi), this property offers a perfect escape, artistic studio, or simply a cozy home. The panoramic views, and nature unfolding in every direction, it’s the kind of place where morning mist and evenings’ golden sunsets are on the palm of the hand. The yard offers space for hidden outdoor table, the front invites for a porch with a view and pleasant breeze. Historic stonewall along one side of the lot adds to the ambience. The schoolhouse, currently undergoing a thoughtful and high-quality renovation, retains its historic soul while embracing modern comfort. A brand-new concrete foundation (2024) with radiant floor heating brings warmth to your winters, while new Andersen windows (2025) welcome the mountain light in every season. Water line, septic, and electric systems are all in place. Inside, the main room is a romantic, open canvas — ideal for an artist’s studio, a writer’s retreat, or a dreamy one-bedroom home. A separate kitchen, full bathroom, and a charming mudroom add functional comfort, while a loft-option in the attic space (approx. 450 sqft).
