Dropped in a breathtaking Catskills setting, this property is a light-filled 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom ranch home that seamlessly blends the comforts of modern construction with classic upstate style. A true turnkey home, Woods View features beautiful hardwood floors throughout its main level and a fully updated kitchen and dining area perfect for gathering. The walk-out basement adds ample finished living space to spread out and unwind. The home's stunning location provides the best of both worlds: complete privacy on 5 sprawling acres surrounded by woods, yet only minutes from the lively towns of Livingston Manor and Roscoe.  

House Tour. Entering through the main door on the charming front porch, you are greeted by the open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen. Past the coat closet on your left, the living area opens to your right, featuring large windows, gleaming wood floors, and a Pacific Energy wood-burning stove perfect for rustic ambiance and extra coziness on cold mountain nights. The spacious dining area flows into the newly updated kitchen, complete with ample cabinet space, and new Whirlpool appliances including a propane range with pot filler, dishwasher, fridge, and microwave. Off the kitchen, the backdoor leads to the screened-in back porch and grill, with steps down to the yard and fire pit.

Back inside, down the hall are the bedrooms, each comfortably accommodating a queen bed and the larger, primary bedroom featuring an updated ensuite bath with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower.

Below the main level is all the extra space you’re looking for! A separate, fully finished walk-out basement. Here you’ll find radiant floor heat throughout, a cozy propane fireplace, a laundry area with Samsung appliances, and tons of extra space to use however you please — for storage, as a workshop, for hobbies, games, home gym, home office, or simply for relaxing. The basement also boasts an extra room, perfect for guests, and additionally, there is space for a half bathroom — which, with allowance from the town, can be simply completed with fixtures and finishes. The separate basement entrance opens onto the lawn. 

This beautiful Catskills home has been built and carefully maintained for both full-time living and short-term rental potential. Modern amenities like high speed Spectrum Internet, a whole-house Generac generator, and central AC ensure comfort no matter the season or the weather. The home is primarily heated by a propane boiler and radiant underfloor heating. Woods View has proven itself as a successful Airbnb over the last 18 months, with proof of rental income available upon request. Whether you're looking for a private upstate retreat or passive rental income, this property's high-quality finishes, superlative amenities, and stunning location make it a rare find. 

Exterior. With welcoming front and back porches, this home was made for relaxing and entertaining indoors and out. The home was originally built in 2005 and has been well maintained. New siding was installed in 2021, lending a clean, contemporary look to the house as well as a detached 2-car garage. Another 2023 addition is a large wood shed attached to the garage, providing organized storage. Enjoy quiet mornings with lots of natural light on the front deck, which was updated with all new wood in 2021 — it’s a perfect spot for greeting the day with a peaceful morning coffee. The spacious, screened-in back deck allows you to soak in the views and the sounds of nature from sunrise to sunset.

The Grounds. This is your personal slice of Catskills paradise. Woods View sits on 5 private acres that backs onto the quiet forest. Meander along the large, sweeping lawn and take in views of the lush woodland from the comfort of your own backyard. The woods beyond offer hours of exploration on foot or with your 4-wheeler (easily stored in the spacious 2-car garage). Gather with friends and family around the cozy fire pit on cool mountain nights to gaze up at the stars. With plenty of room to roam, this is the ultimate secluded mountain retreat. 

The Area. Located just 5 miles from Livingston Manor and 10 miles from Roscoe, this property offers a rare combination of privacy and convenience. Surrounded by some of the most stunning nature in the Catskills, these thriving towns offer numerous year-round amenities, including restaurants and craft breweries, retail stores, the Catskill Art Society, and several grocery stores. Woods View is just minutes from The DeBruce hotel and restaurant, and 7 miles from Mongaup Pond Campground, which offers lake swimming and hiking in summer and snowmobiling in winter.
