Here, it starts at your back door. This is not a property that asks to be maintained. It's one that invites you out. Snowshoe in winter, ride in spring, hike straight into the forest without ever getting in the car. And when you're ready to come back, West Kill Brewing is just down the road. How it lives - Friday evenings settle in quickly here. A stop at Phoenicia Diner on the way up, then into Spruceton Valley. The fire pit, fresh air, and the quiet that only comes from being this far removed. Saturdays are yours. Coffee on the deck, a ride or a hike into the state land, or a morning on the slopes at Hunter,easy to chair the first lift. Dinner out, or back home by the fire with the mountains just beyond the glass. Sunday is slower. The creek, a final walk, a 4 wheeler ride through the forest or simply staying put a little longer. The property A six-bedroom home with the space to gather comfortably without feeling crowded. A separate building offering flexibility for guests, extended stays, or income potential. A three-bay garage with room for equipment, storage, and everything that comes with being here. Established trails throughout the property and uninterrupted access to the land beyond. There is a difference between a Catskills property and one that truly connects you with the nature and its landscape. This is the latter.
