ADVENTURERS of both the outdoor and armchair variety, THE TRAIL HOUSE awaits you, an adorable vintage farmhouse with views, waterfront, and extra acreage that includes your own PRIVATE TRAILS that back thousands of acres of FOREVER WILD STATE LAND! This special getaway or primary home or investment opportunity sits in majestic Shandaken in the HEART OF THE CATSKILL PARK. You will be enchanted by this sweet natured home with nearly a few dozen extra acres, a GLAMPING, HIKING, ATVING and SNOWMOBILING paradise! And when you open up the windows and hear the running water, the craziness of the world melts away. This 1889 beauty remains character-drenched though smartly updated. There is an OPEN FLOOR PLAN that shows off the GOURMET KITCHEN which spills over to the dining area, generous living area, full bathroom, and an extra den with many possibilities. As you wander, you can't help notice the countless windows, GORGEOUS HARDWOOD FLOORS and the WOOD STOVE on its beautiful brick hearth framed by giant FLOOR -TO-CEILING WINDOWS. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms and a half bath but for those who would prefer a first floor bedroom, you will note a logical possible spot. Step outside to enjoy coffee on the ROCKING CHAIR PORCH or a barbecue on the deck off of the kitchen. Most of the furniture is also available making this a very turn-key, MOVE-IN READY home. When you feel like escaping the world, just head up to your own PRIVATE CAMPSITE where you can be one with nature yet be close enough to home to easily walk back for a shower! The property consists of 22.44 ACRES total but keep going if you like onto the state land - or walk down to the water, easily accessed from the yard. For those needing the option to WORK FROM HOME, high speed cable internet is readily available. Impossibly beautiful Shandaken is one of the most notable recreation spots in the Catskills, just minutes from TWO SKI MOUNTAINS, world class hiking trails, fly fishing in the mighty Esopus, swimming lakes, breweries, music venues, farm-to-table dining, and so much more. There's even a town park just up the road with a playground, doggie run, event pavilion, and more. It is also just five minutes from everyone's favorite small town PHOENICIA and an easy drive to WOODSTOCK and KINGSTON. The GWB is just over two hours away from the Trail House too. It's the perfectly situated Catskills home for both cozy relaxation and rugged exploration. **SHOWINGS BEGIN 9/1/25**
