In the heart of the Catskill Park lies Woodland Valley, a beautiful hamlet adjacent to Phoenicia that is as rich with history as it is wild and rugged beauty. In the 60s, this special property was built there by a member of the artist community, but had fallen into disarray when purchased by the owner. Over the last 8 years, he has lovingly restored and fully renovated the lodge-like main house and the charming guest house to pristine condition, creating a true 21st Century Catskills compound for the most discerning of country home shoppers. The owner has carefully retained all of the character but added all of the right updates to make it an efficient and comfortable home you will never want to leave. And then he added built-ins and custom built many pieces of the furniture, all of which are included in the sale, as the house is on offer as fully furnished and truly move-in ready. The house feels wonderfully open and full of light. A few of its many fine features include three working fireplaces in the living room, enormous master bedroom and gourmet kitchen, stunning rough hewn beams throughout first floor, two Dutch doors, a generous 18 x 22 deck with bonus smaller deck and a Juliet balcony all to enjoy the sweeping mountain views and native wildlife, gorgeous beams added to the Great Room that the owner found in Vermont, and original wide farmhouse style plank hardwood floors. The basement with walk out double doors and interior access adds more space and great possibility. There is plenty of room in the main house but for those who could use a bit more space, the 744 SF guest house is one of the nicest this agent has ever come across, with its vaulted ceiling in the living room, fireplace, two bedrooms and extra loft space currently set up as a yoga and meditation area (but with enough space to be a sweet office or playroom). The guest house has its own utilities, good privacy, a lovely covered porch and its own back yard, and has been a successful rental for the owner. The property is all backed and adjacent to thousands of acres of state land and has wonderful privacy, on its own stretch of a town maintained dead end road that runs alongside a creek which has ample public access and offers fly fishing and swimming opportunities. You'll also find world class hiking trails within walking distance. The fun and lively village of Phoenicia is just minutes away, but it feels worlds away.
