18 Farm WayAverill Park, NY, 12018

Located within the seasonal Methodist Farm community on Crooked Lake, one of Rensselaer County's most treasured private lakes, this historic farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to enjoy lake life without the waterfront price tag. The home is situated on leased land within the community, making it a cash sale opportunity only. Community members enjoy access to Crooked Lake, including boating, swimming, fishing, and a private beach. Built more than 170 years ago as the original farmhouse for Methodist Farm, this furnished 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers approximately 1,800 square feet of character-filled living space. Refinished hardwood floors, an original beadboard kitchen with built-in cabinetry, and a spacious knotty pine living and dining area anchored by a stunning wood-burning stone fireplace showcase the home's historic charm. Recent improvements, including replacement windows and a standing seam metal roof, provide added peace of mind. Enjoy your morning coffee on one of two front porches, gather with friends on the back deck, or hop on your golf cart for a quick ride to the lake access area. The property includes Lots 18 and 19 Farm Way, offering generous outdoor space for entertaining, gardening, and enjoying the outdoors. As a licensed member of Methodist Farm, you'll enjoy access to the beachfront, designated space to add a dock for your boat, playground, pickleball/basketball and volleyball courts, pavilions, and beautiful community grounds. Whether you're looking for a seasonal retreat or a weekend getaway, this property delivers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Why choose between an old farmhouse and a lake house when you can have both?
