The Hulbert Atelier at The Porch | A Historic Catskills Compound with Creative Lineage & Proven Income Built circa 1890 as A.L. Hulbert's general store, this Halcottsville landmark anchored daily life in the Catskills' early resort era - supplying farmers, summer boarders, and rail travelers. Over time, the building transitioned into a private residence, later known locally as the Alberta MacDonald home. Today, under the stewardship of fashion photographer Donald McPherson, the property has entered a new chapter - reimagined as the micro-resort known as The Porch, a thoughtful intersection of design, lifestyle, and income, shaped by a unique and creative sensibility. The main house is beautifully curated without feeling overdone - a balance of historic character and stylish, updat es. There is a natural ease to the way the home lives, with rooms that feel connected, warm, and quietly refined. A separate bungalow/guest-house offers flexibility for hosting or continued income, supported by a strong and established Airbnb history. Immediate usability for both lifestyle buyers and investors. A dedicated gallery space introduces a very rare and compelling dimension, well-suited for creative work, small gatherings, or simply as an inspiring extension of the home. Outside, the property reveals itself as both beautiful and functional. Fully fenced with classic cedar post-and-rail and agriculturally zoned, it includes an open meadow, a mature orchard, and a striking three-story barn with underground utilities (and a chandelier). Currently home to goats and a miniature horse, the setting lends itself naturally to hobby farming or a more expansive compound vision. And then there's the location - genuinely cinematic. Just across the street, a small bridge passes over a waterfall, leading directly to Susan's Pleasant Pheasant Farm, where kayaking, biking, and afternoons on Lake Wawaka become part of everyday life. From the property, you'll take in mountain and village views, along with a front-row perspective of the lake. Municipal water and sewer offer rare convenience within a historic hamlet setting that is particularly appealing for those considering expanded or commercial uses Proximity to the Pakatakan Round Barn Farmers Market and Belleayre and Plattekill Mountains ensures year-round enjoyment. Zoning approvals allow for a range of additional uses, including gallery, retail, or hybrid concepts, further expanding the property's potential. A rare opportunity (and one that is increasingly hard to replicate) to own a turnkey Catskills property that combines history, design, income, and land--offered in one of the region's most distinctive settings.
