A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Catskills history: this extraordinary 417-acre estate, preserved through generations since 1808, represents one of the last great pristine tracts in the region. Nestled along a quiet winding road just 90 minutes from Manhattan, the property's crown jewel is an elegantly preserved 1870 Victorian farmhouse with manicured lawns and gardens, and spectacular views across its private brook-fed, three-acre pond and rolling countryside. The 3,005-square-foot main residence and garage suite offers seven bedrooms and three baths, masterfully balancing historic charm with modern comfort. Period features include a welcoming front porch, relaxing screened porch and flagstone patio overlooking a gunite pool and lawns, perfect for entertaining and taking in the tranquil views and stunning sunsets. The estate is complemented by a charming 1942 guest cottage, originally a Grainery, providing an additional 510 square feet of living space. It features a covered porch overlooking its private pond with architectural dam and waterfall. Historic outbuildings, including a classic 1909 post-and-beam barn with two lofts, cow stable and three horse stalls, and a 1920s detached garage, originally an icehouse, testify to the property's rich agricultural heritage. Added in 2004, a 1056 square foot guest home offers flexible accommodation for staff or extended family. What truly sets this property apart are its extraordinary natural resources. Currently enrolled in both agricultural and forestry programs, the estate boasts valuable timber rights, natural streams, and established trails throughout. A unique feature is its secluded location ensuring perpetual peace and privacy. The land, divided into seven distinct parcels, offers unlimited potential for private recreation, from hunting, fishing and hiking to ATVing, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and more. The location provides the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Just ten minutes from the renowned Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center and minutes from upscale destinations including Seminary Hill, Callicoon Western, Kenoza Hall, The Chatwal Lodge, and The DeBruce Inn. The area boasts world-class amenities including Resorts World Casino, Kartrite Water Park, and the Monticello Motor Club, alongside acclaimed restaurants, craft breweries, and boutique shopping in charming towns like Livingston Manor, Callicoon, Roscoe, Eldred, and Narrowsburg. Sullivan County International Airport is also conveniently located just a 10-minute drive from the farm, offering easy access for private and small aircraft travel. This legacy property presents an unprecedented opportunity for various visions - whether as a private estate, conservation retreat, luxury residential compound, or development project. Current agricultural and forestry programs are transferable. This property has been successfully run as an AirBnB location for several years. Seven separate parcels with individual SBL numbers and detailed maps available upon request. This unique holding represents an extraordinary investment in one of the Northeast's most sought-after regions. Invest in farmland, your family and/or your future with this legacy property.
