Tucked into the rolling hills of the Western Catskills, this 200-acre estate with two homes is a ready-made retreat with two ponds, two streams, hot tub, custom-designed sauna, and large barn. MAIN HOUSE This late-1800s Greek Revival farmhouse greets you with pilastered corners, a metal gabled roof, and original wide-plank floors. On the first floor, the cozy living room features a warm pellet stove and serene views of the property. The updated kitchen includes a new Janska range/stove, wood floors, and generous storage. On this floor is also a renovated full bath, laundry room, office with woodstove, and easy access to the back deck where you'll find your own home spa including hot tub, sauna, and outdoor shower. Upstairs off the landing - you'll find two large and one smaller bedroom and another renovated full bathroom. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a true oasis: a stone patio, fire pit, chicken coop with electric, garden beds, views of the nearby stream and mature landscaping that gives full privacy. Additional improvements include a new forced air system (heating and cooling), hot water heater, upgraded 200 amp electric service and automatic whole-house Generac generator. GUESTHOUSE Built in 1925 and beautifully renovated just a few years ago, the guesthouse is filled with natural light, a pellet stove for winter coziness, and renovated bathrooms. A first-floor bedroom and full bath add easy single-level living. This floor also has a large living room, eat-in kitchen and half bathroom. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms and another full bath create a perfect setup for guests.

PROPERTY The landscape includes fields and forests, threaded by stone walls and streams, with two ponds. LOCATION You're just minutes from charming towns, less than an hour from skiing, and under 3 hours from the GW Bridge.
