About This Home

5429 Dry Brook Road

Seager Schoolhouse | Hardenburgh NY Step into a living piece of history on Dry Brook Road in bucolic Hardenburgh NY. Formerly, the quiet hamlet of Seager, today it consists of only one house and a hiking trailhead for the Seager West Branch Trail! This lovingly preserved one-room schoolhouse, circa 1845, is a true Catskills unicorn - the kind of magical, storybook property that rarely comes to market. It has only had two stewards in 170 years. This enchanting escape has been owned by a renowned historian who cherished its heritage. Now, for the first time in decades, it's available for a new owner - someone who values authenticity, and the beauty of the past. Set on just .23 acres (yes, she's petite!), this historic schoolhouse once taught generations of local kids. There is a separate sleeping quarter with a full bathroom and a massive window facing the babbling Hanyes Hollow Stream (not included on sq footage). Imagine waking up to birdsong, sunlight glinting off the stream, and the quiet of the mountains all around you. An updated CWC septic allows future owners to expand the living area if desired. What truly sets this property apart is its extraordinary context: while the property itself is small, it's surrounded by a mind-blowing 5,000+ acres of private Gould family land, You won't see a neighbor for miles. Rooted in the history of the Catskills, this little gem is anchored to the Haynes Hollow Stream (it literally flows past your back door) before joining the historic Dry Brook Stream nearby. It's peaceful, picturesque, and ridiculously special. . This is a once-in-a-generation kind of place—quirky, soulful, and impossible to replicate. A creative sanctuary and premium heritage property for those who collect experiences and appreciate the rare and unusual. Whether you're a writer, artist, historian, or simply a dreamer, the Seager Schoolhouse is a place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with what matters. Unspoiled. Irreplaceable. Utterly unforgettable. *cash sale only. proof of funds required by seller to set an appointment
