Nestled on just under 7 gently sloping acres in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, this private and picturesque property offers everything you’ve been dreaming of—wide-open land, a sparkling pond with koi, old stone walls, and a peaceful setting off a quiet, town-maintained road.
A gated driveway leads you to the beautifully set-back home, where you'll find an open and inviting floorplan designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, complete with skylights for natural light, flowing seamlessly into the spacious great room. Step into the four-season sunroom and soak in the tranquil views of the pond and rolling land beyond—every season here is a masterpiece.
The main level features two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom, while upstairs is your private retreat: a spacious bedroom suite with its own full bathroom. On the walk-out ground level, you'll find an additional bedroom, a den/hobby/family room with a woodstove, laundry area, storage, and workshop space—ideal for hobbyists, creatives, or those in need of flexible living space.
Enjoy the outdoors on the expansive back deck, or wander through the open fields, admire the koi pond, and explore the fenced areas and multiple storage buildings scattered across the land. A detached garage adds practicality, and there’s even more potential: an additional 5.98-acre parcel directly across the road is available if you’re dreaming even bigger.
Whether you're seeking a year-round residence or a serene weekend getaway, this property offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and Catskill charm. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this unique haven your own.
