The Sanctuary House Set in the heart of Halcottsville--one of the Catskills' most picturesque and historically intact hamlet - this former church at 422 Halcottsville Road offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the region's architectural and cultural legacy. Believed to date to the late 19th century, the building reflects the era when Halcottsville thrived as a vibrant railroad village, serving both local residents and summer visitors drawn to the mountains. Inside, the structure retains its most defining features: soaring ceilings, original volume, and intact stained glass that fills the space with filtered light throughout the day. The open sanctuary layout creates an immediate sense of scale and possibility, whether preserved as a gathering space, studio, or reimagined into a truly one-of-a-kind residence. The possibility to connect to public sewer and water help simplify a transition The property is currently without a kitchen or full bathroom, offering a blank canvas for the next steward to design with intention. Its layout and proportions lend themselves equally well to a dramatic single-family conversion, creative workspace, or boutique hospitality use. Positioned just moments from Lake Wawaka (but totally out of any flood zone) and directly adjacent to the Hulbert Atelier at The Porch - a thoughtfully restored micro-resort with strong income history - the property presents a compelling opportunity on its own or as part of a larger Catskills compound. For buyers seeking something increasingly rare and difficult to replicate, this is a chance to carry forward a piece of local history while shaping its next chapter.
