About this property
Unique 5.53-acre Catskills retreat with rustic western character, natural surroundings, and a remarkable piece of history - all approximately two hours from NYC. Popular with second-home buyers, outdoor enthusiasts, and hybrid workers seeking a scenic upstate escape, this distinctive property offers a rare combination of privacy, recreation, and character just minutes from Roscoe and Livingston Manor in the heart of the Catskills. Accessed by the historic Campbell Covered Bridge, originally built in 1870 and included as part of the property, this one-of-a-kind offering delivers a truly unforgettable arrival experience and a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Trout Brook runs under the covered bridge and along the property boundary, creating a peaceful waterfront setting where you can literally fish directly from your own covered porch. The home retains much of its original 1960s charm and features a living room with a fireplace designed for both heating and cooking, along with a wood-paneled ceiling, dining room, kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with en-suite bath. The bedrooms feature large closets, and there are closets and unique storage locations throughout the home. Just off the dining area is a three-season sunroom overlooking the nearby tree lines, mountains, and brook, creating a relaxing space to enjoy the property's natural setting throughout the year. Attic access is available by a full-width stairway through the large attached garage, and includes two expansive storage areas and two additional heated bonus rooms - ideal for guests, children, office space, or flexible use. A transfer switch allows for convenient connection of an electricity generator. The exterior is clad in striking board-and-batten hemlock siding that remains in exceptional condition and complements the property's rustic Catskills character. The home is well-insulated for year-round comfort, has Andersen windows, and the attached 2.5-car garage appears thoughtfully insulated, contributing to its versatility and functionality through all seasons. The property also includes a large, roughly 1,500sf, oil-heated detached garage, with a convenient walk-in door, separate 12-foot-high overhead door, half bathroom, and electricity, offering substantial storage space and potential workshop use. The grounds include open fields, a pond, a line of apple trees running along the brook, a large apple tree behind the house, and a tree-lined landscape featuring birch, elm, maple, and oak trees, all set against spectacular views of the nearby mountains. Nestled among forests, trout streams, lakes, and mountains, this year-round retreat is ideally positioned near the outdoor recreation that defines the Catskills lifestyle, including hiking trails, fly fishing, Catskill Park, Crystal Lake Wild Forest, and the attractions of nearby Roscoe and Livingston Manor. Known as *Trout Town USA* for its renowned fly fishing, Roscoe offers local breweries, restaurants, distilleries, boutique shopping, farmers markets, and year-round recreation, along with nearby destinations including Roscoe Mountain Club, the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum, Roscoe Beer Co., Do Good Spirits, Smoked BBQ, and the vibrant Main Street communities that have made the area a sought-after upstate destination. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive Catskills property offering history, versatility, year-round waterfront enjoyment, and small-town charm with convenient access to New York City. Property to be sold vacant and as-is in all respects. Though believed accurate, all information including taxes, schools, zoning, use, and development potential must be independently verified. Taxes are stated for 2025-2026. Schools are as reported by Niche. Owner, Listing Agents & Listing Brokers are not responsible for any inaccuracies, prospective buyers & their agents must confirm all facts.
