Tucked away off Oliverea Road in the sleepy hamlet of Big Indian, this enchanting Catskills retreat offers 51.6 deeded acres across two parcels, with exceptional privacy along the Esopus Creek. The property includes a 1950 country cottage with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, offering 1,362 square feet of warm, inviting creekside living, plus a gazebo overlooking the water and a large storage shed.
Two deeded State easement trails run along either side of the property, winding through the woods to State land beyond. Along the right-hand trail is a beautiful two-level barn of approximately 750 square feet, built in 2002 on the 5.9-acre parcel where a second home once stood. The barn overlooks a lovely meadow dotted with mature fruit trees.
Inside, the cottage’s great room features French doors opening to the surrounding deck and large casement windows framing views toward the Esopus Creek and forest. Eastern hemlock and yellow birch create a beautiful natural backdrop. A wood-burning stove with a fieldstone surround anchors the great room and dining area. The recently renovated kitchen offers granite countertops and a breakfast island, opening to a comfortable lounge with a propane fireplace and bay window overlooking the gardens.
The home is offered fully turnkey, including most furnishings, décor, utensils, fixtures, and appliances.
Approximately 50 acres are enrolled in New York State Forest Tax Law Section 480-a, with a management plan focused on sustainable timber, wildlife habitat, water-resource protection, and recreational value. The land has been thoughtfully managed for fishing, hiking, cross-country skiing, nature study, and foraging for berries, mushrooms, and other plants. All acreage lies within the NYC Shokan Reservoir designated area.
An NYCEP-approved septic system was installed through the Catskills Watershed Corporation in May 2019. A rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, recreational land, and creekside living in the heart of the Catskills.
