5411 Route 212, Mount Tremper, NY 12457 - Ulster County

Unique opportunity to own a historic 1854 church that could be reimagined in so many ways: as an art gallery, music venue, large yoga studio (with attached shop or juice bar?), or even a destination cafe. Located about 9 miles from Tinker Street in Woodstock, on one of the main routes to Phoenicia, the worship hall features a double-height ceiling and beautiful light from traditional stained-glass windows. Attached to the original chapel is a large community room and a large kitchen. Another addition provides room for storage, a furnace, and two half bathrooms. A well needs to be drilled. Originally the water was supplied by a neighbors' well. In the Hudson Valley, a number of former churches have been transformed into stunning restaurants and galleries. A quick Google search will provide plenty of images and ideas. Concerts have been held here in the past; it's been said that the acoustics are wonderful. This lovely property, known for over one and a half centuries as the Shandaken Reformed Church, is close to the Zen Mountain Monastery, Kate's Lazy Lodging, Migliorelli farmstand, and Emerson Resort & Spa. If the Catskills, ecclesiastical architecture, and New York history grab you, and if you're interested in thoughtfully transforming a church into something new and exciting (or new and serene), please come take a look.
