For the most discerning buyer, seeking peace, water and serenity, 2.5 hours from New York City, 200 acres of sanctuary, surrounded by New York State land on 3 sides and offering those dramatic views – similar to what the great “Hudson River School artists” found so inspirational. This home lies in the Catskill Park and boarders a swift moving trout stream. This haven is located at the end of a dirt town maintained road, affording the utmost of privacy. A nearby secluded spring fed pond is found a short stroll from the house where you can swim all summer.
The house has an interesting history. It was constructed by the C.C.C. and moved up the mountain to its present site. The main entry brings you into a fire placed “Inglenook” – warm and inviting. The molding and trim are of the late craftsman era. The living room is bright and open. The kitchen is generous in space to provide large family gatherings with a large pantry.
An open stairway with sundrenched landing that leads to 3 family bedrooms and impressive full bath with Jacuzzi tub and separate tile shower stall, pedestal sink and hidden lavatory, large walk in closet off of hallway plus ample bedroom closets.
Amenities such as open covered porch open to vistas and distant mountain views. Nicely landscaped grounds with perennial gardens include a small studio building awaiting the restorer’s touch. The land is a blend of towering maples, apple orchards, trout steam and open pasture land. There are also 2 ponds: ¼ acre and a ¾ acre swim pond.
