Tucked into a hidden hillside meadow of wild apple trees, this 1880s Catskills farmhouse feels like a well-kept secret. Set on nearly 11 acres of cultivated wilderness, the home is both private and conveniently located—just over two hours from NYC and minutes to dining and essentials.

Inside, a mudroom leads to an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space. Designed by the restaurateur-owner, the chef’s kitchen centers on a Viking range within an oversized island, with butcher block counters and a farmhouse sink. A pantry houses laundry. Wide-plank reclaimed pine floors run throughout the main level, where sculptural lighting from AY Illuminate and Fefo Studio adds texture. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning stove, and a hallway leads to a guest room with its own wood stove and desk space, plus a shared full bath with walk-in shower.

Upstairs, three bedrooms share a second bathroom with walk-in shower and soaking tub. The primary includes a work-from-home space and three closets—generous storage throughout is rare for homes of this era. A finished third-floor game room and home theater top off the layout.

Outside, a wraparound porch overlooks terraced outdoor dining, stone walls, and a wisteria-draped pergola. A fire pit is carved into the slope, with a path leading to a wood-fired hot tub and rope swing. The wild apple orchard leads to a large barn—currently a studio, with designs for a guest house conversion. A Polaris is included; the main barn is accessed via a striking plexiglass wall that floods the space with light.

Walkable to Callicoon Hills for dining and swimming, the home is also close to Livingston Manor’s farm-to-table restaurants, art space, wine bars, and boutiques, plus Jeffersonville’s pastries, plants, and provisions. Outdoor access is unmatched—ideal for fly fishing, kayaking, hiking, and secret swimming holes best discovered after you move in. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
