This is a rare opportunity to own a home with both Esopus Creek frontage and expansive Catskill Mountain Views. This sun drenched and rustic eyebrow colonial is situated on 9.7 acres of mature gardens and woodland. Walking trails leading to the spring fed swimming hole and to 550' of Esopus Creek frontage beyond. There is also a stream that runs through the property meets up with the Esopus Creek. The Esopus Creek is one of the finest fly fishing streams in New York. The current owner, a fly fishing guide, is willing to share his wealth of knowledge with the new owners should they have an interest. They have also have catalogued the species of plants, wildlife and migratory birds on the property. Their knowledge and stewardship of this land is a legacy that will be passed onto the new owners. The home retains many original features such as wide plank floors, original doors and hardware, giving it an unblemished aura of timelessness. The attached garage has been converted into a woodworking studio with a wood stove. The centerpiece of the inviting living room is the fireplace constructed of Esopus Creek stone. The large dining room has 180 degree views of the Catskill mountains. There are three bedrooms and a bath upstairs. There is also a large room, currently being used for storage that has the potential to be a master bedroom and bath facing the mountains. This home is located on the Trailways Bus route. It is a three minute drive to the village of Phoenicia and a ten minute drive to Belleayre Mountain skiing, an ideal location for a year round or vacation home.
