Description

Positioned along the original route of the Catskill Mountain Railway, now the beloved Kaaterskill Rail Trail, this remarkable 5+ bedroom home is more than a property. It is a chapter of Catskills history. Originally constructed as an annex to the historic Excelsior Hotel, once the vibrant center of early Catskills tourism, this home retains its authentic character while offering the kind of space and proximity to nature that defines true Catskills living. Set just moments from North-South Lake Campground,...Positioned along the original route of the Catskill Mountain Railway, now the beloved Kaaterskill Rail Trail, this remarkable 5+ bedroom home is more than a property. It is a chapter of Catskills history. Originally constructed as an annex to the historic Excelsior Hotel, once the vibrant center of early Catskills tourism, this home retains its authentic character while offering the kind of space and proximity to nature that defines true Catskills living. Set just moments from North-South Lake Campground, miles of hiking trails, Kaaterskill Falls, and Hunter Mountain Ski Resort, the location is unbeatable for year round adventure. Whether heading to waterfalls, the slopes, or trails, everything is right outside your door. Inside, the traditional farmhouse floorplan offers generous living spaces with original hardwood flooring, hardwood stair accents, and classic railings that speak to the home's heritage. The living room and dining room currently features laminate flooring installed to protect the original hardwood beneath, and reverting back to the hardwood would be simple for those wishing to restore the full historic aesthetic. A woodstove anchors the living area, adding warmth, charm, and that unmistakable Catskills feel during cooler months. Outdoors, the lifestyle continues. A massive rear deck overlooks the property, creating the perfect space for entertaining, dining, or simply taking in the mountain views. The fenced courtyard includes a garden and play area, ideal for gatherings, pets, or peaceful afternoons surrounded by nature. With six flexible sleeping areas, historic provenance, and direct access to one of the region's most iconic recreational corridors, this one of a kind property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the original Catskills, refreshed and ready for its next chapter.
