Blueberry Cozy: 3 Bedroom House On Quiet Road

This seven bedroom luxurious home is perfect for a family get together, a big chill weekend with friends, or affordable weddings or parties.

Just 90 minutes from NYC, escape to bucolic country surroundings. Hike in our woods, visit our nearby farm, pick blueberries, sit on the wrap around porch, cook gourmet meals, swim in the local pool. At night visit the local village of Mountaindale for drinks/dinner or bbque at home, cook smores over the firepit, and watch the stars.

The space

This 7-bedroom house, which sits on 60 acres, was fully renovated in Jan/Feb 2022 and has luxurious modern comforts. Central air conditioning, 8′ windows, 10′ ceilings, modern bathrooms, and a chef kitchen will all make your stay easy and comfortable. (There are 7 bedrooms plus a daybed on the third floor).

First Floor:

Walk up the stairs to the front of the house, on to the grand, wrap porch. To the right is a 10′ table where your entire group can enjoy outdoor summer meals. To the left is seating, to chat, curl up with a book, nap, or or to look over the enormous, 100′ front and side yards.

You enter into a beautiful entry foyer with a seating nook, and a wide wood stairway, lined with oil painting portraits, leading to the second floor, illuminated by an old stained glass window.

Immediately off the entry hall is a 40’ living/dining room with high ceilings, lined with 8′ windows. The enormous living room has plenty of space for your whole group to comfortably sit together. A large TV and games provide entertainment. The dining table is 12′ long and can fit 18 people for indoor meals.

A sliding door leads to a spacious deck (15′) with lounge chairs and an outdoor ping pong table. The deck has a ramp, making the first floor of the house wheelchair accessible. Next to the deck is an outdoor grill and a fire pit area, for evenings cooking smores and watching the stars.

The large chef’s kitchen has quartz counters, a stove with eight burners, two ovens, a dishwasher, and plates/serving platters and bowls/silverware/glasses sufficient to feed 24 people.

The first floor also has a handicapped accessible bedroom and full and half bathrooms.

Things to do:

The Catskills are an outdoor paradise . 1/2 mile down the road is our family farm, with sheep, a goat, donkeys, horses, and chicken that you can feed. Next door to our home is a field filled with blueberry bushes (if you visit in July, feel free to pick to your heart’s content the wild, delicious blueberries). There are multiple hiking trails through our 300+ acres of woods.

The country roads in the area are perfect for bike riding (but very hilly), the hilly area makes for great sledding spots in the winter, and world class hiking in the Shawangunk Mountains is just 1/2 hour away. There is an outdoor community pool in the town park 1/2 mile from the house, and many local streams are stocked in the spring with trout for fishing. (NYS fishing licenses are required, can be done online). There are mountain lakes nearby, such as Morningside Lake in Fallsburg (which rents paddle boats and row boats and also has a new community pool), or Starlight Marina in Monticello (which rents platoon boats). Public golf courses are plentiful. If you tire of nature, Legoland, the Katrite Water Park (NY’s largest indoor water park), and the Resorts World Casino are all just1/2 hour away, while Woodbury Commons, with hundreds of outlet stores, is 45 minutes away. Go river rafting, canooing, tubing, or kayaking on the Deleware river with Lander’s River Trips. The town of Moundaindale, 2 miles down the road, is an increasingly trendy destination with live music on weekends, an outdoor bar and restaurant by the creek, the best pizza in upstate NY (per our teenagers), a wine/cheese and produce shop, a thrift shop and a herbal shop, a yoga studio, art studios, and a monthly outdoor market. Bethel Woods (45 minutes away) has concerts throughout the summer, the Forestburgh Playhouse in Forestburgh has musicals and performers in its bar, while Shadowland Stages in Ellenville has plays.

Holding Events at the Farmhouse:

The house and grounds are also perfect for a large party or a wedding. The enormous side yard easily fits a tent and the 40′ living/dining room is perfect for cocktails. Events and guests are not permitted without prior permission. Please contact us for pricing for an event.

Guest access

The entire house and the property will be available for you and your guests.

Other things to note
