377 Reinertsen Hill Road, Bovina Center

An eighth of a mile of private drive off a dead-end road, and then the land opens to the southwest, where the mountains lie along the horizon like a sleeping dragon. The view is vast and it changes with the light. The current owner bought this land for the sunsets, and no one who stands here could argue, they are truly amazing.
Thirty acres. Open field mowed each season by a local farmer, meadow giving way to old forest, ancient sugar maples, apple trees turned up where you don’t expect them. A pond. A chicken coop, two sheds. Two 30’ x 72’ high tunnel greenhouses stand in the upper field and a polycarbonate greenhouse sits close to the house, a working setup that has supported a flower farm and is ready for whatever comes next. Electric is buried. The infrastructure is already in the ground.
The house was built in 2018 with real materials and no shortcuts. Concrete and radiant heat below, maple floors above, glass garage doors that open the entire ground floor to the field. That floor has been an art studio and a flower studio, and would make a beautiful living room, a workshop, a gallery. Upstairs, light hits just where you want it through windows that truly are like a “picture”, a Wolf range, a Liebherr refrigerator, and an Italian DeManincor wood-burning cook stove that heats the whole house. 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath, with stairs that lead to a sleeping loft under the roof.
And there is room to grow into. Room for a main house sited along the ridge, with this as the guest house. Room for a barn, a studio at scale, more growing. The land does not ask you to decide right away.
Bovina has quietly become one of the best small places in the Catskills, serious kitchens, serious cellars, a short drive to Brushland Eating House and Bovina Fermentory, and a community people move here for.
What stays with you is the quiet, the light, and the dragon sleeping on the horizon.
