Property Description
Escape to your own private Catskills sanctuary with this remarkable 268±-acre property offering the perfect balance of comfort, recreation, and investment potential. Featuring two homes, three stocked ponds, meandering streams, a carriage barn, horse stable, multiple garages, and miles of trails, this one-of-a-kind estate is designed for those who appreciate the outdoors and value privacy. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including three bedrooms on the first floor for convenient single-level living. The spacious layout features an open living and dining area, a kitchen-family room combination, a cozy fireplace, and a Kitchen Queen wood-burning stove. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the private balcony off the primary suite or entertain on the expansive deck overlooking the surrounding countryside. Tucked away up the hill, the second home, built in 2014, includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, an open-concept floor plan, a fireplace, Kitchen Queen stove, and a welcoming front porch with tranquil pond views. The property is thoughtfully equipped for country living with multiple garages, barns, a carriage barn, horse stable, and an automated chicken coop setup. Enrolled in the NY 480A Forestry Management Program, the land offers reduced property taxes, sustainable forest management, and future timber income that will need to be harvested before the end of the year. This extraordinary property is move-in ready and ideal as a private family compound, full-time homestead, recreational retreat, or an income-producing investment through vacation rentals, hunting, timber, or event opportunities. Opportunities to own a property of this scale, versatility, and beauty are truly rare.
