Jeffersonville, New York is located in the west-northwest
region of Sullivan County, about 2:30 from New York City. The
quaint village, which has undergone an amazing renaissance in
the past few years, is in the hub of the farmland areas of west
county and also close to Bethel Woods.
Jeffersonville itself was our first 'turnaround'
village, and the upgrading of the village over time paralleled
the bootstrap renovation of many of the farmhouses in the surrounding
areas in the mid to late 90's. Today Jeffersonville is a bustling
village with nary a vacant storefront. There's the usual assortment
of restaurants, gift stores and galleries that mark a thriving
second home destination, but Jeffersonville is also a 'working'
village, with a pharmacy, grocery store, hardware stores and
a farmer's market. Jeffersonville is also home to WJFF
90.5, our public/community radio station.
West of Jeffersonville between Jeff and Callicoon
lies the Beechwoods, a few square miles of picturesque rolling
farmland, very Norman Rockwell with lovely views. The Beechwoods
is arguably the prime location in the county for folks looking
for a farm-style getaway, but there is very little property
available.
There are many other rolling farmland areas towards
North Branch, Youngsville, over towards Kenoza Lake and down
towards Cochecton.
This is not a lake part of the county, but Kenoza
Lake, which is about halfway between Jeffersonville and Bethel
Woods, is currently being developed as a small, upper end, non-motor
lake development.
There are in-town houses in Jeffersonville, but
this is a small village, so there aren't that many. There are
some lovely Victorians occasionally on the market, as well as
the row of finely detailed 'Kohler houses' in the Kohlertown
section (but they;re right on Route 52, so you have to give
up some peace and quiet for the oodles of charm.)
Stella's on
Main Street is the village's upmarket restaurant, featuring
local produce and also has a lovely outdoor deck overlooking
the creek. Ted's, also on Main Street, is our breakfast, lunch
and dinner workhorse restaurant with quite good food. The
Blue Victorian (on Main Street, and yes, it is big
and blue and very Victorian) has a country gift shop downstairs
and a great art gallery featuring local artists upstairs. Stop
in and say hello to Greg and Maurice. Bridgewater Mercantile
(next to Mullally's Pub) and the Rustic Cottage, on Route 52
outside of the main hub of town, are also both worth a stop.
