Where Cozy Meets Chic in Big Indian A fairytale comes to life in this expertly designed and beautifully curated Catskills farmhouse, nestled on 10+ lush, wooded acres in Big Indian. This enchanting creek-front property has been reimagined by the founders of Byrd Design Studio, the celebrated minds behind Foxfire Mountain House and Lost Fox Inn, who bring their signature talent for blending history with modern sophistication. The result is a one-of-a-kind 1875 farmhouse where timeless character and contemporary elegance meet in perfect harmony. Inside, warmth and comfort unfolds across three thoughtfully designed floors, offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a variety of flexible living spaces. The first level was crafted for gathering and entertaining, beginning with a welcoming entry that flows naturally into the dining room, an ideal setting for unforgettable dinner parties. Anchored by a commanding stone wood-burning fireplace, the living room balances drama and coziness, while the windowed kitchen provides both function and charm with ample storage, a central island, and direct access to the back garden for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A convenient powder room with a large closet completes the main floor. Upstairs, the scale of the bedrooms impresses, each infused with light and charm. The primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed and has a full en suite bath. A second airy bedroom also offers generous storage and a soothing retreat-like feel. The third bedroom on this floor has been thoughtfully converted into a dedicated laundry suite with dual oversized washer/dryer, ensuring convenience without compromise. The second full bathroom has a shower-clawfoot tub combo and storage for linens. The top level introduces even more possibilities: a den perfect for reading or film nights, a fourth bedroom, and a spacious home office for quiet productivity. Together, these upper rooms create a private guest floor or flexible sanctuary for modern living. Outside, the magic continues. The grand, wrap around front porch invites you to savor the changing seasons from different vantage pointsâ€''from spring's first blooms and summer's long golden evenings, to autumn's fiery foliage and winter's cozy snowscapes. The perennial gardens are a lovely mix of native pollinators and roses. A dry basement with exterior access houses the mechanicals and offers abundant storage. Beyond the main house, a charming, stone second structure awaits your imagination. Whether envisioned as a retreat space, creative music or art studio, boutique B&B, or future guest house, the potential is as inspiring as the setting itself. Located in one of the most desirable pockets in the heart of the Catskills, this property places you near beloved destinations like Urban Cowboy Lodge, Ralph's, Peekamoose, Eastwind Oliverea, Foxfire, and The Phoenicia Diner, along with pristine hiking trails, waterfalls, swimming holes, and ski mountains including Belleayre. Just 2.5 hours from New York City, this is not only a home but an experience and an opportunity to create your own chapter of Catskills charm with a touch of refined luxury.
