A Quintessential Catskills Retreat on 5 Private Acres.

Tucked away on a scenic and secluded hillside in the heart of the Catskills, this contemporary ranch offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and accessibility. Available for the first time in nearly 40 years, this cherished property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the Hudson Valley.

The home features new gleaming hardwood floors, updated cabinetry, and a thoughtfully designed layout with vaulted ceilings and a cozy stone fireplace. The primary bedroom includes an en-suite with shower and double closets. On the north wing, a versatile two-room annex above the garage offers flexible space for guests, remote work, a fitness area, or creative studio.

Surrounded by mature trees, vibrant gardens, and gently rolling land, the grounds offer ample room for outdoor living—whether you envision a pool, entertaining space, or peaceful gardens. Enjoy total privacy while being just minutes from the Villages of Catskill, Athens, Coxsackie, the Rip Van Winkle Bridge to Hudson, and local shops, dining, and cultural attractions. Ride your bike or walk to Green Lake where you can fish, paddle board or kayak.

Located just 2 hours north of New York City, 20 minutes from Albany, and within easy reach of Ski Windham, this property is a true four-season escape in the #Catskills.
