About this home
Privacy, mountain views and the opportunity to make it your own - set on five acres with a mix of open lawn and woodland, this two-bedroom cottage combines a peaceful setting with easy access to some of the Catskills' favorite places. Offered as is and priced to sell, it's a fixer-upper with considerable potential, whether you choose to renovate, expand the existing footprint or build a new home and retain the cottage for guests or rental income, subject to approvals. Inside, the open layout and generous expanses of glass make the most of the surroundings. A stone fireplace anchors the living area, while the dining space overlooks the patio, gardens and mountains beyond. An adjoining sitting room has sliding glass doors on two sides and windows on a third, bringing in natural light and views of the surrounding nature all around. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are tucked away from the living spaces, all on one level. Outside, a stone patio opens onto a broad lawn bordered by mature trees, ornamental grasses and established plantings. There's space to garden, gather with friends or simply enjoy the quiet, with potential to expand the mountain outlook through selective tree thinning. A separate shed and off-street parking add practical convenience. The septic system was replaced in 2012. Adjoining over 200 acres of NYC DEP land, the property offers the added appeal of hiking and exploring right from your own backyard - a chance to head into the woods without getting in the car! Bread Alone and everyday essentials in Boiceville are just moments away, with Woodstock and Phoenicia both an easy drive. Spend winter days skiing at Belleayre Mountain and the warmer months exploring local trails, the Esopus Creek and the Ashokan Reservoir. A setting to enjoy in every season - and an exciting opportunity to shape what comes next!

Super sweet country cottage in the Catskills with awesome mountain views just in time for the spring market where homes like this are in low supply. 5 private wooded, easy to maintain acres, with just enough clearing around home, providing excellent sunlight and amazing sunsets. Borders 200+ acres of NYC protected land. Plenty of room for the pool and with some additional selective clearing the view could be expanded. This is the affordable upstate retreat with views that's so rarely seen in this price point. In addition to the view, the extra private acreage gives future owner the potential for a very private home site should one want to build the dream home and retain cottage for guest or vacation rental use. Perfect Air BnB rental, btwl! This a prime town of Olive location within striking distance to Belleayre Mountain for skiing, centrally located between local hotspots, Phoenicia and Woodstock. Enjoy tubing the Esopus Creek, hiking trails throughout the area, numerous concerts, and other local festivals in the summer, and the Ashokan Reservoir to boot. Endless activities all year round! This is a low maintenance home and property, very easy to come and go as you please. Simple to shut down after a weekend of fun but easy to come back to anytime. Hassle free enjoyment, and just the perfect setting for children to explore and play. This offering should check off a lot of boxes on most any buyer's wish list. Weekender conveniences less than 5 minutes away include local supermarket, wine store, pharmacy, and Bread Alone, famous locally for all sorts of baked goods and other delicious foods. 8 min drive to Emerson resort, with access to a gym and spa, yoga & pilates classes. 15-20 minutes to Thruway exit 19 in Historic Kingston. 2 hours from Manhattan. Nothing to do here but move in and enjoy! Perfect year round escape. Affordable and practical. Not expected to last long. ..
