74 High Meadow Road, Livingston Manor, NY 12758

You don't have to be a fly fisher to live in the Beaverkill Valley — but spend a season within earshot of the river and among this trout-mad community, and you'll probably want to become one. Even so, this beautifully executed custom four-bedroom home on nine private acres would enchant anyone. Cedar shingle siding, cherry floors, warm wood plank ceilings, built-ins, and picture windows framing distant hill views set the tone. A welcoming entry hall, mudroom, and separate garage ease the way for full-time Catskills living. The sunken living room is anchored by a native fieldstone fireplace and wrapped in windows. A long built-in bookcase — with a distinctly Frank Lloyd Wright quality — separates it from the spacious dining room. Step outside to a stone patio and fire pit, or onto a covered deck with that same spectacular view. The kitchen is bright and well-appointed, with a Wolf gas range, sunny breakfast nook, and deck access. The primary suite occupies its own second-floor wing: sun-drenched bedroom, custom dressing room, book-lined sitting room, and a spa bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and unlacquered brass fixtures. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath. A ground-floor bedroom with adjacent full bath and cherry pocket doors functions as a private guest suite. The finished walk-out lower level offers a media room, home office, and rec room, plus a full bath. Membership in the Beaverkill Mountain Club includes a mile of blue-ribbon fly fishing on the Upper Beaverkill, 60+ miles of private trails, a six-week summer day camp, and swimming at The Falls — within walking distance. Beaverkill Falls HOA membership adds another mile of private fishing (accessible directly from the property), a community swimming pond, and two beautifully sited tennis courts.
