FDR's Stone Hunting Retreat in Hopewell Junction Listed for $1.5 Million in Upstate New York Real Estate Satire Site

The real estate market in Upstate New York is heating up, and this month's must-see listings include a historic stone hunting retreat once owned by FDR and a contemporary barn with its own private creek in Hudson.

First up, for those looking for a piece of history, the former president's secluded getaway in Hopewell Junction is up for sale for $1.5 million. The 3,000 square-foot home, known as "Top Cottage," was built in 1938 and served as a private retreat for FDR. The property boasts five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a two-car garage.

But that's not all, the property also includes an 18th-century farmhouse, which was moved to the site by FDR, making it a perfect spot for a guest house or rental income. Plus, with over 80 acres of land, there's plenty of room for outdoor activities like hunting and fishing.

Next on our list is a contemporary barn in Hudson listed for $1.2 million. The 3,500 square-foot home features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a chef's kitchen. But the real selling point of this property is the private creek running through the backyard, making it a dream for those seeking a peaceful and scenic location.

While both properties offer a taste of the good life outside of the city, potential buyers should keep in mind that they will also have to handle any repairs and maintenance on their own. But with the cost of a "junior one-bedroom" in the city, these upstate gems may just be worth the extra effort.
