Get away from NYC hustle and relax into country living. Just less than 2.5 hrs from NYC and 12 minutes from Windham and Hunter Resorts, this beautiful 2,684-square-foot home sits on an astounding 145+ acres of blossoming trees, meadows, streams, and ponds bordering over 700 acres of protected Catskill Preserve. Hike your own extensive trails, enjoy views of Thomas Cole and other peaks in the Windham range and take a break at your own log cabin, complete with wood-burning stove and sleeping loft. This retreat, enveloped by mature trees and hidden off Route 23C in pristine East Jewett, is a true sanctuary that is accessed via a privately-owned steel bridge that crosses the East Kill Creek. Upon entering through the covered front porch, you're greeted with an expansive mudroom and powder room. Natural wood accents, ceramic tiles and original hardwood floors run throughout this country-forward home. The home boasts four well- sized bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, including one on the first floor. The enormous eat-in kitchen has custom wood cabinets that lend a rustic look, stainless steel appliances, double ovens and a huge island with gas stovetop and seating for six. A large bay of windows opens up the space and eat- in area, which easily accommodates 8 people, overlooking a flagstone patio ready for a picnic. The enormous living room that includes an original tiled fireplace, bay window, seating and pickled pine walls make this a charming and cozy place for entertaining. Glass French doors open up the room to the stone patio, bringing in bright light. There is a second large family room downstairs with French doors leading to the stone patio and another tiled fireplace. Currently used as a TV/gathering room, it can easily be converted back to its original use as a formal dining room. Up the carpeted staircase is a cozy reading nook. To the right of the nook, occupying the east side of the second floor, is a sunny, sizable bedroom with windows on three sides and an en suite bathroom. A hallway features exposed brick accents and two linen closets. Two remaining en suite bedrooms with ample closet space complete the upstairs. A two-car built-in garage, basement laundry area and work benches offer added convenience. You'll feel a million miles away when you call this special park-like property your own.
