| Notes: |
We don’t use the term “paradise†very often but this mountaintop 1900s Victorian farmhouse on 90+ acres — including endless meadows, swimming/boating and water garden ponds, a creek, a cider apple orchard, and wide open views — is as close to a Catskills paradise as you can get! Whether you’re cozying up in one of the many inviting rooms, prepping and enjoying home-cooked meals, taking in the views from the Michael Graves orchard pavilion, going for morning walks down to the creek, or sledding in winter, this home is perfect for gathering in all seasons. This unique combination of home, land, views, nature, privacy, off-grid features, and potential for expansion doesn’t come along often and would make an ideal compound, full-time residence, or weekend retreat! The main living floor exudes charm and comfort with spectacular woodwork throughout. The spacious kitchen has gorgeous bluestone and stainless steel countertops, SubZero fridge, Bosch cooktop plus built-in oven, and butler’s pantry. There’s also a cozy living room with an HWAM Danish wood-burning stove, formal dining room, media room, bedroom, office, full bathroom, idyllic porch, and ample deck overlooking the property’s two spring-fed ponds and mountain views. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a gorgeous study/library with beautiful built-ins and mountain views are all full of original character, warmth, and tons of style. The primary bedroom boasts an ample ensuite bathroom with a walk-in steam shower and clawfoot tub overlooking the woods. A massive attic space is begging to be finished, adding tons of more space to the home. There’s broadband internet and central AC, making this home ideal for hosting guests and working from home. Plus, a solar panel array aids in powering the home and offsetting energy costs. The property comprises three separate parcels totaling 90.3 acres – a 79.8 acre parcel with the main house on a private, dead-end road for ultimate privacy, and two additional parcels with road frontage on Mead Rd and Thompson Hollow Rd, offering potential to perhaps build another home or two. Located in one of the most scenic areas of the Catskills, this spectacular property is near so many great towns – Margaretville (13 mins), Roxbury (15 mins), Andes (20 mins), and Stamford (30 mins) to name just a few. You'll also be just 15 minutes from the Pakatakan Farmers' Market and the Catskill Recreation Center's gym and pool. When you’re not enjoying your magical property, there’s hiking and fishing on the East Branch Delaware River (20 mins), skiing at Belleayre Mountain Ski Center (25 mins), and tons of wilderness and wild forests to further immerse yourself in nature. |
