This two-bedroom Phoenicia cabin has a wild heart and a way of inspiring wonder. Warm, intimate and filled with natural light, it opens to native gardens, a labyrinth circling the firepit and mountain views rising beyond. A separate finished and heated studio adds a space of one's own, with a wall of windows facing the gardens. Set in a true neighborhood just outside the village and around the corner from the mighty Esopus Creek, the house offers a Catskills experience connected to community and village life, with gardens, mountains and water woven into the everyday. And the mountains are more than scenery: a direct 15-minute drive to Belleayre makes first chair an easy habit, while Hunter is about 20 minutes away. After the last run, come home and put another log on the woodstove. Inside, delicious knotty pine paneling and original hardwood floors give the house its unmistakable warmth. The open floor plan centers around the living room and woodstove, with an eat-in kitchen that keeps the cook part of the conversation. Windows in almost every direction bring in abundant natural light. Unexpected details include vintage 1940s metal kitchen cabinets and a pressed-tin ceiling in the generous primary bedroom, while a beautifully renovated bathroom and stackable washer and dryer add everyday comfort. Well insulated and pleasantly quiet inside, the house is heated primarily by propane forced air. Originally built in 1946 as a seasonal hunting cabin from a kit - with a manufacturer's stamp still visible in the attic - the house has evolved for comfortable year-round living while retaining the simplicity and character of an old Catskills cabin. The studio extends the possibilities, offering a place for an office, creative pursuits or simply some quiet apart from the house. With its light and views, it feels almost like a room within the garden. Outside, the cultivated and the wild intermingle beneath a canopy of enormous mature trees. Native and pollinator-friendly plantings unfold with the seasons, attracting hummingbirds, butterflies and other visitors. Layered greenery gives the garden a surprising sense of privacy and enclosure, with places to gather and eat outside, and quieter corners for reading or drawing. The labyrinth and its central firepit create an unforgettable centerpiece. And then there is Phoenicia itself. The village's restaurants, shops and lively small-town life are close by. Head across the nearby bridge toward Woodland Valley for a water and mountain view that regularly stops visitors in their tracks, or venture a little farther to the Romer Mountain trailhead. Follow the labyrinth, watch the garden change, then come inside and put another log on the fire. Perhaps that's the real magic of this cabin: it makes the everyday feel extraordinary. Come see it now - there is still time to be settled in before the lifts start turning.

A great ski house should still be a great house when the snow is gone. This one is. It's a spacious, comfortable Catskills home where everyone ends up, hanging out in the huge living room, lingering over dinner or spilling onto the deck in summer. Belleayre is just 14 minutes away, with most of the drive along a state-maintained road plowed through the night - a serious advantage when you're aiming for first chair on a powder morning. Hunter is within easy reach, and Phoenicia is less than two miles from home. Covered parking makes winter arrivals that much easier. The house is move-in ready for ski season. The house measures 2,636 square feet, and the living room is its defining space, with room for a full house, several conversations at once and long evenings around the wood stove. The Lincoln Log-style architecture and rich knotty pine give the house distinctive Catskills character, balanced by an overall contemporary feel. It is very well insulated and notably quiet inside, adding to its comfort in every season. The eat-in kitchen opens directly to the rear deck, and a skylight draws natural light into the upper level. The large, finished and heated mudroom is especially useful. There is room here for boots, coats, skis, bikes and wet dogs without taking over the rest of the house. Once home to the iconic Yvonne's pie shop, it could also make an excellent office, studio or project room. Its former commercial history may offer possibilities for a home-based business, subject to any necessary local approvals. The first-floor en suite primary bedroom is nicely separated from two additional bedrooms upstairs. A legal lower-level studio apartment has its own entrance and parking, giving guests or extended family genuine privacy. It could also be used as a rental. High-speed internet is readily available, making remote work and longer stays practical. The large garage offers plenty of room for parking, storage, a serious workshop or whatever comes next. Outside, there's an open meadow and a short path to a seasonal stream and quiet meditation glade. In spring, the stream runs and the perennial gardens begin to flower. Summer brings the mature trees into full leaf and even more flowers and color across the property. In fall, the mountain views soften into layers of red, gold and copper. In winter, snow settles across the meadow and the house looks right at home in ski country. After skiing, Phoenicia and the other nearby mountain towns offer a lively après-ski scene. In warmer months, hiking, fishing, swimming and long summer evenings take over. The reasons to be here simply change with the season. Come take a look now while there is still time to get settled in before ski season!
