With new home construction eliminating any old home worries, you have the best of both worlds – a house that works, and a house with a soul. Our Catskill homes — cottages, farmhouses, mid century ranch, mini and micro cottages, barn houses, arts and crafts style, small modern Dwell homes and renovations — are only part of the fun. The Catskills don't just offer great real estate, but a way of life that includes hiking, biking, skiing, amazing mountains and great Sunday drives in and out of the valleys and small towns and hamlets like Saugerties, Woodstock, Barryville, Narrowsburg, Jeffersonville, Callicoon, Bethel, Livingston Manor. We sell Construction Sets if you’re interested in purchasing—a superb way to get the benefit of our tried and true designs outside of the Catskills. Catskill Farms – A designer and builder of traditional homes, reinvigorating the architectural landscape of Sullivan County and Ulster County real estate. ### Services Provided - Home Remodeling - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Kitchen Remodeling - Bathroom Remodeling - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Architectural Design - Building Design - Flooring Installation - Home Restoration - Energy-Efficient Homes - Laundry Room Design - Deck Design - Barn Design & Construction - Staircase Design ### Areas Served - Kingston - Saugerties - Bethel - Callicoon - Kerhonkson - Stone Ridge - Cochecton - Sparrow Bush - Forestburgh - Smallwood - Narrowsburg - Eldred - Barryville - White Lake - Delaware - Fawn Lake Forest - Glen Spey - Greeley - Highland Lake - Lackawaxen - Masthope - Milan - Millrift - Pond Eddy - Rowland - Shohola - Tusten - Yulan ### Typical Job Cost low 200's - high 900's ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Charles Petersheim, Builder | | Address | 42 Proctor Road, Eldred, New York 12732, United States | | Phone | (845) 557-3600 | | Website | http://www.thecatskillfarms.com | | Followers on Houzz | 140 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/pages/Catskill-Farms/45418373889?ref=hl - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/catskillfarms - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-petersheim-49b95082 - Blog — http://blog.thecatskillfarms.com/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Charles Petersheim, Builder](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/charles-petersheim-builder-pfvwus-pf~2114170300) - **Website:** http://www.thecatskillfarms.com - **Phone:** (845) 557-3600 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - 2014 - Country Living Magazine's - House of the Year - 2010 - Sullivan County Showcase Awards - best home under 2500 sq ft, best renovation, special award for DIY tv show "Blog Cabin" - 2009 - River Reporter reader's Choice Award for best Green Developer ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 1 review** ### All 1 review **★★★★★ — Gemini Tile & Marble, June 2017** > Over the past few years we have worked on a number of projects with Catskill Farms.
