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 (built in 1870), steel-reinforced and included with 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 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.

Questions to ask before you buy

Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
