About This Home

As of January 2015

Own the dream. A beautiful 358 acre hill top at the end of a dead end road with far reaching views to the Catskill Mountains. The land is varied habitat and topography of three ponds, waterfalls, open meadows, hayfields, and woodlands. All of this adjoins the 876 acre Cole Hill State Forest. Many ways to enjoy a place this special, a family compound, a program facility (camp, conference or retreat center), or for the avid outdoorsman to pursue a wide variety of recreational pursuits. Add to this a 4,600 square foot 5 bedroom 4 bath lodge overlooking the Catskills. It features a massive floor to vaulted ceiling fossil rock fireplace in the huge great room. There is another almost new 2400 SF 7 bedroom ranch style residence and several other useful outbuildings.
