Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Margaretville, New York

Located on a dead-end town-maintained road in one of the most beautiful valleys in the Catskills. Set back from the road, all you can see from the house are mountain views and your two massive spring-fed ponds. The park-like grounds are the result of several decades of care, as this home has not changed hands since the mid 1980s. This listing includes 225 acres over four tax parcels. It is simply the highest quality land one could hope for. The house also defies expectations as it feels like an old house inside, but it has 20th century infrastructure. Built in 1972, and updated since then, this home has been cared for inside and out. The upper pond leads to a magnificent deck with a vaulted roof for outdoor dining. This leads directly into the incredible family room, which features timber framing, terra cotta tiles, and a massive stone fireplace. Next is the large kitchen which features a large kitchen island an ample cabinetry and counter space. The first floor includes a formal dining room, living room, full bath, gym, laundry, and a bedroom. The gym could easily be reimagined as a bright studio for any creative endeavor. The upstairs features a large primary bedroom with a wonderful walk-in closet. There are also two additional bedrooms, and a large full bath with custom tile and a jacuzzi tub. Both floors have mini-split heating and cooling on top of the baseboard heat. The detached 2 garage has plenty of storage for tools and firewood. The two spring-fed ponds are both around 1/2 an acre, and 8-9 feet deep, both great for swimming. The upper woods include long trails for hiking, while the lower parcels offer the potential for future home development. Located only 2.5 hours to the GW bridge, 14 mins to Margaretville's main street, and 15 mins to the closest ski mountain. This home would make an excellent full-time residence or vacation home. Do not let this property pass you by as it is truly exceptional in many ways.
