Step into an enchanting mountain retreat where nature's beauty unfolds across 10 private acres with breathtaking views. The property offers a perfect fusion of comfort and natural splendor, situated just moments away from the charming towns of Catskill, Roundtop, Cairo, Leeds, Windham and Hudson.

As you enter the main residence, you're greeted by a spacious three-bedroom, three-bathroom home adorned with vaulted ceilings, creating an open and airy feel. The heart of the home boasts cozy living areas, complemented by a warm wood stove in the front living room and a sun-drenched sunroom with a propane wood stove that invites relaxation. The modern kitchen is designed for both functionality and style, featuring a propane range perfect for culinary enthusiasts.

Beyond the main residence, the property reveals a host of additional features that cater to diverse interests and needs. A fully insulated two-car garage includes an integrated workshop, ideal for creative projects or storage. Animal lovers will appreciate the heated indoor kennel, which seamlessly connects to an accessible outdoor section. Above the garage, discover a heated large studio with sleeping space, complete with a full bath, offering endless possibilities for use.

The outdoors is a haven of tranquility, highlighted by a picturesque pond that provides a serene spot for reflection. Mature fruit trees dot the landscape, while a charming potting shed, crafted from trees on the property, adds a rustic touch. Native stone hardscaping enhances the natural beauty, inviting exploration and relaxation.

A refreshed studio building equipped with electric and propane services stands ready for inspiration, whether for work or leisure. A garden shed and well-tended gardens, complete with a water line, offer ample opportunities for green-thumb enthusiasts to cultivate their passion.

As a full time residence or weekend getaway, you can truly connect with nature here. Listen to the melodic bird songs, and enjoy stunning views from every corner of the property.

With easy access to hiking, skiing, delightful restaurants, and local farm stores, this retreat offers the best of both worlds—tranquility and convenience. Discover the charm and beauty of this unique property today, and embrace a lifestyle where comfort meets nature's embrace.
