House Brochure

The House Tour. Meander down the driveway and arrive at the Goff Hill Cabin. Begin on the covered front porch and enter through the front door into a newly added mudroom, perfect for all your weather related gear with hooks and seating for quick getaways. Breeze through the doorway into the great room, which features an open plan living and dining space with a fully equipped yet minimalist kitchen. These three spaces are tied together by a cathedral vaulted ceiling that ushers in tons of natural light and a cozy wood stove. Just off the kitchen, a private bedroom is on the first floor, next to the shared full bathroom. Sliding glass doors lead to a large wraparound deck partially covered for grilling, and a sundeck for sunbathing and entertaining.

Head upstairs and notice the design forward touches, like the wood privacy design along the way. First, you will hit the landing nook. This space is just right for a comfy chair for reading or napping. Step through the door into the bright and spacious primary bedroom. Inside, the balcony skylight window brings in a slice of the outdoors from the second floor. This window can operate as both a skylight and balcony giving you easy access to fresh air and treetop forest views. Head into the second full bathroom for bright, tranquil, spa like vibes with a soaking tub and walk-in doorless shower.

Back downstairs, breeze through the door off the dining area, down to the unfinished walkout basement that houses a pellet stove and the washer/dryer. This space has the potential to expand the square footage of the house and transform into a home gym, office or guest apartment with private entrance.

The Grounds. The two parcels encompass 18.8 acres abutting NY state land giving you maximum privacy and space to hike, explore or four-wheel. With a private hiking trail, seasonal springs throughout and a few rough outbuildings, Goff Hill Cabin is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Just down from the house, sits a generous lawn to stargaze by a crackling fire pit by night and play lawn games by day. From here, you overlook a newly cleared pond site ready for the next steps to diversify the ecology and wildlife on the land. Got pets? The walkout basement opens up into a fenced in dog run, perfect for your pups to get some exercise, while staying close by! Beyond the house is a two story two-car garage built in 2017 that is ready to be finished and turned into a woodworking studio, home office or guest apartment.

The idyllic Catskills setting, the log home, and garage are all complemented by high speed cable internet, make this a perfect location for working remotely.

The Area. The property is surrounded by forest and river, numerous trout fishing spots, swimming holes and hiking trails. It's the perfect base camp for all your outdoor adventures, and only 5 minutes from hundreds of additional acres of state land. The 10 minute ride down to town will present you with options such as foodie markets, restaurants, breweries, wine shops, trendy home goods and even a pilates studio. It's located just outside the vibrant main street of Livingston Manor, tracing a quiet river road up to the cabin and just two hours from the city. This location is ideal as a weekend getaway, co-primary home or full time residence.
