A rare opportunity to own a spacious Mid-Century ranch on 1.62 exceptionally private acres, just minutes from the Pepacton Reservoir and Margaretville. With 2,870 square feet of living space, a dramatic mountain setting, and plenty of original character, this is the kind of Catskills property that offers both a wonderful weekend escape and the potential to create a truly special primary home.
The main level features an inviting one-floor layout with a generous kitchen offering extensive wood cabinetry and counter space, formal dining room, large living room with bay window, and a comfortable den with woodstove. There are three bedrooms, including a primary suite with private bath, an additional full bath, and a delightful three-season sunroom overlooking the property.
The finished lower level adds approximately 1,170 square feet, with a large recreation room and full bath, plus substantial unfinished space offering possibilities for a guest suite, studio, home gym, or additional living area. An attached one-car garage provides convenient access.
But the real draw is outside. Step into the private backyard and experience the beautiful mountain landscape and seasonal views toward the Pepacton Reservoir. Two small existing outbuildings add possibilities for storage, a workshop, or creative use.
The home is ready for updating, offering the next owner an opportunity to restore and modernize it while preserving its Mid-Century character. Located in the small hamlet of Dunraven, it’s an easy drive to Margaretville for groceries, dining, and everyday amenities, while the reservoir provides nearby opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and enjoying the outdoors. Hiking is close at hand, and Belleayre skiing is approximately 15 minutes away.
For the downstate buyer looking for a private Catskills retreat with space, character, recreational access, and room to make it their own, this one is well worth a closer look.
