Catskills Country Home on 7 Scenic Acres Bordering State Land
Embrace mountain living in the heart of the Catskills, this sweet 3BR, 3BA country home on 7 rolling acres with sweeping mountain views and the rare benefit of bordering 80+ acres of protected New York State land—guaranteeing privacy, abundant hiking, exploring, and prime hunting right out your back door.
Approached by a long private drive, the property opens to a picturesque setting with the home, barn, open grassy lawns, meadows, and a naturally beautiful landscape. Outdoor highlights include raised garden beds for growing your own produce, established perennials, and striking red maple trees that bring color through the seasons. The classic covered front porch is the perfect spot for admiring mountain views and wildlife over morning coffee, enjoying cozy sunsets, a summer lunch, or an afternoon BBQ—it will quickly become your favorite place to relax. The house comes equipped with solar panels, ideally placed on a south-facing sloped roof. These panels provide the house's electricity on sunny days.
Inside, the step-down living room features cathedral wooden ceilings and an authentic wood-burning fireplace, setting the perfect mood. Hardwood floors and two dramatic arched windows frame distant mountain vistas. The main floor kitchen includes a cozy eat-in area, a center island, and a desk space for added convenience. Also on this level are a primary bedroom with ensuite bath, and a mudroom with laundry and side entry.
Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms that share a full bath. A small balcony overlooks the living room, adding architectural charm and an airy sense of connection between levels.
The daylight basement expands the living space with direct walk-out access to the backyard, a convenient bathroom, and abundant storage. Perfect for recreation, hobbies, or guest overflow, it's a functional extension of the home.
Lovingly maintained, in all-original condition, the house is move-in ready yet priced to allow for personal updates and upgrades.
A separate barn with electric and water offers versatility—store vehicles, create a workshop or art studio, or convert into additional living space.
Located minutes from Bear Pen Mountain, West Kill Brewery, Belleayre Mtn, and endless Catskills recreation, this property offers fresh country air, peaceful privacy, and four seasons of adventure.
