1231 Route 308Rhinebeck, NY 12572Price: $525,000

Circa 1830, this sweet cottage blends historic character with an idyllic creekside setting just 7 minutes from both Red Hook and Rhinebeck. Original wide-board wood floors, exposed beams, and nearly 200 years of preserved detail bring warmth and authenticity to the 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home. Set amid mature woodland and open grassy clearings, the property feels private and peaceful, with quiet neighbors and the soothing sound of water throughout. Behind the cottage, approximately 450 feet of the Saw Kill Creek-a Class A trout stream-winds through the woods, offering a place to cool off on summer days, cast a fishing line, or simply enjoy the view from the back deck above. A rocking-chair front porch welcomes you home, while practical updates include a newer septic tank, 200-amp electrical service, propane heat, owned water softener, and a roof installed in 2010. Offered as-is.
