Just 2.5 hours from midtown NYC and perched atop a hill with spectacular mountain views sits this turnkey, lovingly maintained modern ranch. Surrounded by acres of forever wild land with no neighbors in sight and located on a sparsely trafficked road, the only sounds you’ll hear are those made by nature. The house is ideal for a buyer looking for a private weekend escape with easy access to both skiing and hiking in the Catskills and/or a potentially lucrative rental property with low taxes in close proximity to skiing at both Windham (10 mins) or Hunter (25 mins). When not using the house as a retreat from the city, the current owners earn $10K per month during ski season and $6K per month during the summer season with shorter term rentals generating $400-600 per night. The 1,530 square feet on the main level includes an open floor plan with an indoor-outdoor flow that lends itself to relaxing and entertaining. Three skylights in the living room and two large sliding doors with southern exposure fills the common space with natural light. The wood-burning stove provides plentiful heat in the winter and a cedar sauna and the whirlpool tub are a welcome respite after a day of outdoor activity, skiing or hiking. Recent renovations include wood floors, cedar paneled bathroom, a whole house water filtration system and custom sliding barn-style doors to each of the three bedrooms. There is an abundance of hiking trails in the immediate area. In close proximity are the towns of Windham (10 mins) and East Durham (15 mins) and Tannersville (30 minutes) as well as various other small towns where you'll find plenty cafes, restaurants, and shopping options.
