Seager Schoolhouse | Hardenburgh, NY

A One-of-a-Kind Historic Catskills Retreat

Step into a living piece of Catskills history on picturesque Dry Brook Road, nestled in the once-thriving hamlet of Seager—now a serene hideaway with just one house and a nearby trailhead to the Seager West Branch Trail.

Lovingly preserved since circa 1845, this one-room schoolhouse is a true unicorn—a storybook escape that has had only two owners in 170 years. Owned most recently by a renowned historian, the Seager Schoolhouse is now available for the first time in decades, inviting a new steward to honor its soul and charm.

Set on a compact .23-acre lot, the property may be petite, but it’s surrounded by 5,000+ acres of pristine private Gould family land, ensuring absolute seclusion. Wake up to the sound of the Haynes Hollow Stream, which flows just past your back door and connects to the nearby historic Dry Brook Stream. It’s a setting that redefines tranquility.

Inside, you’ll find a lovingly maintained historic interior, with the original classroom space, plus a separate sleeping quarter with a full bathroom and oversized picture window overlooking the stream (not included in recorded square footage). A modern CWC septic system allows for potential expansion should you desire to grow this hidden gem.

✨ Highlights:

• Circa 1845 one-room schoolhouse with rich provenance

• Separate sleeping quarters with full bath

• Modern CWC septic system – expansion possible

• Surrounded by 5,000+ acres of private land – no visible neighbors

• Frontage on the Haynes Hollow Stream

• Just steps to Seager West Branch Trailhead – hike, dream, reflect

• Ideal for creatives, historians, or those seeking solitude

• Located in the heart of the forever-wild Catskills

This is more than a property—it’s a once-in-a-generation offering. Unspoiled. Irreplaceable. Utterly unforgettable. Whether you’re a writer, artist, historian, or dreamer, the Seager Schoolhouse is a place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with what matters.
