Enjoy this secluded, private, 4 season residence nestled in the Catskill Mountains outside of Roxbury, New York on 210.3 acres of mountaintop property. A 2-1/2 hour drive from New York City. Ideally located near four ski slopes (Windham, Hunter, Belleayre and Plattekill), ideal for deer hunting, hiking, photography, writing, painting or just rest and relaxation from the congested urban environments. Close to Cooperstown, Oneonta, Margaretville, Andes, Woodstock, and Phoenica. Enjoy shopping for antiques in the nearby towns, browsing the old bookstores of Hobart, exploring the “bread basket of the American Revolution” over by Middleburgh where you can find the great apple species, the “Northern Spy” during the fall apple season, or visiting the historic “Old Stone Fort” in Schoharie, NY, or a day trip to Pratt Rock in Prattsville, NY, or backroad exploration throughout this mountain region. An area layered with much history. You have never seen a night time sky on clear nights with so many stars, the Milky Way strongly detailed above. The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom house is situated in an old apple orchard on the property. Designed by an architect, the house was an early pioneer in energy conservation construction. The large, main living area, with a wood burning stove, has a cathedral ceiling with clear story windows above, the space surrounded with windows on three sides to enjoy the seasonal changes outside. An ample, relaxing space, bright with daylight even on cloudy days. The house features a galley kitchen with nearby pantry and utility closets. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast nook facing East with mountain views. The Master Bedroom is entered, off the Breakfast Nook, into a foyer with adjacent bathroom and walk-in closet. Separately a guest bedroom is located off a rear corridor and adjacent to a second bathroom, which is also located opposite the Mudroom. The house has slate floor front and rear entries with a wraparound porch facing south for sitting and relaxation during warmer months. A separate entry in the rear into a Mudroom/Laundry that can also double as an office space. A dry, unfinished basement with side utility and storage rooms and adjacent entry to the 2-car garage. The house was designed to be expanded with shed dormers to add an additional 2 bedrooms and bathroom at a 2nd floor with open area looking down into the Living area (currently an attic space which has been used frequently as a temporary sleeping area for children in past years).
