Jeffersonville NY real estate varies from your typical farmhouse with a barn, to more modern homes–either in town charmers or homes that are secluded on a few acres.
Jeffersonville is probably the closest Rockwell-esque town that Sullivan County has. It has your traditional Main Street, lined on either side with store fronts. There is a pizza shop, a little country pharmacy, a hardware store, and a diner. There are a few church steeples that give it that nice country town feel. Jeffersonville had its own rejuvenation. There are a bunch of restaurants and stores that have opened over the last few years. For example Jeffersonville Bake Shop, is a pastry and pie shop with some pretty delectable treats, the Jeffersonian, a B&B in a beautiful center stair Colonial, and Honey Hill Pottery on Diehl Road.
The Villa Roma Resort is just a few miles away with winter downhill skiing, an eighteen hole golf course, and a bunch of summer activities. Kenoza Lake, an upscale lake development is also nearby.
Some activities in Jeffersonville include a Thanksgiving Parade, and a weekly flea market and farmers market.
WJFF 90.5 Radio is located just outside of town at the end of Lake Jefferson. It is the nation’s only hydro-powered radio station, (it gets all of its power by the lake’s runoff over the dam.) It is a public radio station, so programming is of the BBC/Lake Wobegone variety. It needs to be listened to on a small radio, on the front porch, during a summer evening to be really appreciated.
Homes in and around Jeffersonville tend to be more of the farmhouse variety, although others do pop on the market from time to time. Jeffersonville is farm country, no doubt about it, and some of the best views in Sullivan County can be found in these wide open stretches. If our county had a “big sky” section, this would be it.

So What Does Jeffersonville have to offer?
1) Shopping.
For a small town, Jeffersonville has its fair share retail shops and storefronts. These include:
Global Home–A home decor boutique on main street with unique furniture, accessories and gifts both designed and found through travels by the owners. Owners Vivian and Joe are corporate drop outs (so to speak) from NYC who came to Jeffersonville shortly after 9/11 and opened up this great shop. They also offer home decorating services, and consulting. They have recently opened another shop in Beacon, NY and plans are in the works for one downtown Manhattan. Stopping at Global is a must if you are in Jeffersonville.
The Rustic Cottage–Offering custom one-of-a-kind homemade furnishings. Owner Michael Barber is a very talented craftsmen who produces these high end, yet unadorned pieces, using some of the finest woods available. If you own a country home in the Catskills, it must contain at least one piece from The Rustic Cottage.
The Tavern on Main–A pub style restaurant with a great summer beer garden. The menu is varied and does have all your usual tavern offerings. This is a nice place to spend a summer evening.
