Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity – 167+/- Acres with Authentic Log Cabin Bordering 340+ Acres of NYC & NYS Land!
Opportunities like this simply don’t come along often. This authentic log cabin on approximately 167 acres of pristine Catskill wilderness is a true one-of-a-kind find—a private mountain sanctuary surrounded by nature, seclusion, and endless adventure.
Built with craftsmanship rarely seen today, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin features a soaring cathedral ceiling in the great room, a cozy wood stove (plus electric baseboard backup), and a loft that sleeps three and opens to its own balcony overlooking breathtaking mountain views
The covered front porch invites you to take in the scenery and the views down to the pond and stretching all the way to Windham Mountain. The crawl space below offers practical storage for ATVs or outdoor gear. The property is nourished by two pure, spring-fed water sources—one from a hillside well and another from a historic spring house beside one of the two tranquil ponds. Apple trees and naturally growing ginseng dot the landscape, adding to the property’s charm and self-sustaining potential.
A detached garage on a cement pad includes an upper-level room that may possibly be restored for future use. The private drive with lockable gate ensures complete privacy, yet remains accessible by standard vehicle during dry months.
Bordering more than 340 acres of NYC and NY State land, this property offers unmatched access to hiking, hunting, and exploring directly from your doorstep. Whether you’re seeking a private retreat, a legacy property, or the chance to revive a rare Catskills classic to its original 1985 glory, this is truly a “unicorn” opportunity.
A property like this may never come available again.
