Experience ultimate tranquility in this beautifully restored

Off-grid farmhouse. Nestled in a prime location on a scenic, town-maintained road, this home is a stone's throw from the hidden gem of Lower Birch Creek Forest Reserve. Here, you can enjoy a spring-fed pond for swimming and fishing, along with access to peaceful hiking trails. This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom period property boasts a wrap-around porch and open living areas, perfect for both large gatherings and quiet retreats. The main floor featurs vaulted ceilings and solid wood floors throughout, enhancing the home's timeless charm. The recently renovated sunlit kitchen is a chef's dream, offering custom cabinetry, granite countertops and ample space for meal prep and casual dining. Adjacent is a formal dining room ideal for larger group dining and entertaining. Two separate living rooms, one with a feature fireplace and another with a Jotul wood-burning stove, provide cozy spaces for both relaxation and socializing. The primary bedroom, full bathroom and two versatile rooms ideal for offices or additional guest spaces complete the main floor.

Upstairs, you'll find two more bedrooms and another full bathroom. The property features terraced gardens with perennial plants, fenced vegetable garden, fruit trees, stone-built pizza oven and a fire pit suitable for outdoor enjoyment. Wander through the trees along the babbling brook to discover a cedar-clad, wood-burning sauna and a nearby natural plunge pool for ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation. A winding path leads to a large, secluded upper field, equipped with a stage for musical or theatrical performances or for camping under the stars. A restored two-story barn offers ample storage, while an adjacent shed houses the lithium batteries for the solar power system that powers the entire property. Propane fuels the heating, stove and hot water and an EcoGen Generac backup generator ensures you never run out of power. Recent improvements, including a new roof in 2020, Jeld-Wen wooden double-paned windows and closed-cell foam insulation contribute to the home's energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. Located two hours from the city, minutes from Bel leayre ski center and beach and a short drive to Pine Hill's vibrant community center, tennis courts and library, this property is also near the bustling villages of Phoenicia and Margaretville, known for their markets, shopping, restaurants, wine bars and cafes. This exceptional property is available on its own or can be purchased with the cabin at 1463 Lower Birch Creek Road, offering a perfect Catskills getaway.
