511 Main St, Andes, NY 13731

Cosy Cape Cod cottage in the picturesque mountain hamlet of Andes, NY. Offered furnished for year-long rental, with option to extend. The house has a new roof as of 08/25, and was fully renovated in 2019 with high-performance insulation, so it retains heat well over the colder months. There is a central forced-air system (propane), and the wood-burning stove (installed 2022) is high-efficiency and low-emission. There's also a half-cord of cured wood stacked and ready to go for winter. The upstairs is a large open-plan studio space, south-facing windows, and the main sleeping area. This has a private balcony overlooking the back garden, and walk-in wardrobe. The main bathroom has both a shower and clawfoot tub. Downstairs, there's the kitchen, a second bathroom / laundry, and two light-filled guest bedrooms. There's fast wifi, smart TV, dishwasher, clothes washer. Andes is a small hamlet three hours from NYC, with plenty going on. Within walking distance of the house, there's a yoga studio, Hawk & Hive art gallery, Diamond Hollow books, Cafe Mutsi, the Andes Hotel tavern, Wayside Cider, Estro vintage furniture and general store, the Andes Diner, and Leo Koenig's recently opened satellite gallery. We also have a goat farm where you can buy local produce and pet the friendly goats. Nearby are many other small towns with their own attractions, including Delhi, Bovina, Livingston Manor, Margaretville, Hamden, Franklin, Hobart and Stamford. There are lots of stunning hikes, mountains, and lakes. If you snowboard/ski, Andes is 30 minutes from both Plattekill and Belleayre Mountain resorts. The Trailways bus goes through town, but you'll need a car to get around otherwise. Owner pays for water. Tenant is responsible for natural gas (for forced air heating); electricity; wifi/phone and snow removal. Last month's rent due at signing. No smoking allowed.
