I’m just throwing this one out there because it’s not too often that you see such a rad old church for sale on Craigslist for only $99,000. I know a lot of our readers live in or around the NYC area, so this church is kind of a rare steal.
The church, built in 1920, is located in the Catskills, 90 minutes outside of NYC and is 2500 ft2. How awesome is that?
I am an Architect and I bought this amazing building several years ago with hopes to make it my weekend home- but then Sandy happened and all my focus went to rebuilding my NJ home with 6 figure damage. So, sadly, I need to sell my upstate retreat to someone who can give it the TLC it deserves.

I have always used the church as a weekend retreat as-is. I have attached my sketched floor plans (I am an Architect) that shows how easily this can accommodate 4-5 bedrooms. At the moment it is one glorious loft-like space. There is a furnace that heats the main huge space nicely (propane tank outside for easy fill ups).
The church also has a cemetery. Yes, a cemetery. According to the listing, the cemetery is privately owned and very well-maintained. The owner of church says that the cemetery is very old and he has never seen anyone actually visit it.
I can totally see this church being transformed into an amazing artist’s space or recording studio. Seriously, just check out the pictures. More about the church can be read on Craigslist.
