7775 State Route 55, Neversink

Set on 7 parklike acres framed by woodland, Spruce Haven is a serene country retreat where open lawns, stately maples, stonewalls and the soothing sounds of Scott Brook create a distinctly gracious experience. The brook meanders along the property line and next to a delightful old barn, offering a tranquil place to reflect or for younger explorers to wade and wander. And a bijou guest house is a charming plus to the renovated main home.

A heated pool is just outside the house, flanked by stone patios with space to grill, dine and to relax in the hot tub. Further down the lawn a cute red building houses the one bedroom, one bathroom guest house, which features a little kitchenette.

Inside, the home blends rustic Catskills charm with modern renovation and addition. The open-concept main floor connects a sleek chef's kitchen to a spacious living room with Sonos sound. Three bedrooms (2 upstairs), all en suite, and 3.5 baths, include a ground-floor primary suite.

Upstairs, along with the two guest suites, a light-filled lounge opens onto a balcony overlooking the sweeping lawns and charming barn.

Located just outside Grahamsville within the Catskill Park, Spruce Haven is handy to hiking trails, including Red Hill Fire Tower and Slide Mountain, plus kayaking or canoeing on the Neversink Reservoir.
