Property Description
Surrounded by privately owned Gould preservation lands, the property offers exceptional privacy. Cows often graze beyond the bordering fence while Rider Hollow Stream winds through the valley below.
Built from cedar and hemlock milled directly from the property, the home combines the original 1934 residence with a 1960s addition. The main level features a living room with a wood burning fireplace and sliding glass doors opening to a porch overlooking the lawn and pond beyond, an eat-in kitchen, a den, and a primary suite with a full bath. Upstairs are 4 additional bedrooms and a second full bath. Original hardwood floors remain in portions of the home, while a full attic, walk out fieldstone basement with root cellar, dependable spring water, hot water baseboard heat, many replaced windows, and a newer DEP septic system provide a strong foundation for future updates.
The property also includes the original wood-shop built from lumber harvested on the land and a detached 2 car garage.
Fully livable as it is, the home will benefit from cosmetic updating, electrical improvements, and modernization throughout, creating a unique opportunity to make this special property your own. Ideally located just 10 minutes from Belleayre Mountain Ski Center and the village of Margaretville, the property offers easy access to year round recreation, restaurants, shops, galleries, and the popular Catskill Recreation Center. Direct Trailways bus service between Margaretville and Manhattan makes weekend escapes surprisingly convenient, while hiking, fishing, kayaking, and thousands of acres of protected public lands are all close at hand. A rare offering of privacy, history, and natural beauty in the heart of the Catskills.
