A rare opportunity to own a piece of Catskills history. Originally built in the 1870s as a welcoming boarding house, this extraordinary property offers 32.5 acres of rolling countryside, mountain beauty, and endless possibilities. Rich in character and surrounded by nature, it's ready for its next chapter.
The property features three substantial barn structures, all with durable metal roofs, providing exceptional space for equipment, workshops, artists, or hobbyists. An additional cottage, in need of restoration, offers exciting potential as a guest house, studio, or rental. The main residence is complemented by a classic rocking chair front porch overlooking the spacious yard, inviting you to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting.
One of the home's most impressive features is the expansive enclosed side porch with walls of windows and its own private entrance. Flooded with natural light, it would make an incredible artist's studio, gallery, home office, or creative workspace.
Venture behind the home to discover one of the property's hidden gems--a remarkable 10-acre flat plateau perched high on the mountain, offering a spectacular setting for recreation, camping, gardens, or simply taking in the serenity of the Catskills. Adding to the property's uniqueness is a naturally flowing artesian spring that has long been appreciated by locals and campers for its fresh mountain water.
Whether you're seeking a private country estate, family compound, retreat center, or restoration project, this one-of-a-kind offering provides the acreage, history, and versatility to make your vision a reality. Properties with this combination of historic charm, usable land, significant outbuildings, and unforgettable Catskills setting rarely become available.
