With over 4,500 square feet of living space and a price tag below $700,000—this may be the deal of the century. It’s roughly half the price of the rustic Maine beach house we recently profiled and far more practical than the all-pink Barbie Dream House listed at $1.1 million.

“Surrounded by the Adirondack High Peaks, Brooknoll is an architecturally unique three-story summer home originally built in 1876 by John Matthews, a patent holder for the soda fountain,” details the listing for 41 Airport Road in Keene Valley, NY.

“The house is sited on one of the significant rock knolls that dot the sides of Keene Valley’s beautiful mountain landscape and was memorably photographed by famed photographer Seneca Ray Stoddard.”

The photos show just how majestic this 7.15-acre plot of land is. Lush trees and perennial plants cover nearly every inch.

“While retaining its historic character, the property has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms including a new master en suite.”

Make the most of this Keene Valley home’s impressive stonework, massive living room with signature fireplace that’s perfect for holiday photos, extensive porches and a deck with views of the surrounding mountains and Porter Brook.

“While located close to Keene Valley village and on the town bike path linking to Keene, the seven-acre property features a private looped driveway and an extensive quiet backyard. A more recently constructed garage offers room to store a car with a workspace and an upstairs playroom.”

It is exactly the kind of place you’d dream of unwrapping holiday gifts, making Grandma’s apple bread pudding recipe in her vintage cast iron skillets and listening to good music.

Did we mention a built-in chapel with original stained glass is included in the deal? And the furniture and decor is all negotiable. We cannot stress it enough—this is a brilliantly-priced property and a dream-come-true for those who can work remotely.

Brooknoll is located just two hours south of Montreal, under five hours from NYC and Boston and under 2 hours to International Airports in Burlington and Albany.
