The Pine Hill Arms - a Catskills classic, ready for revival! Built in 1882 and set on nearly 2 acres in the heart of Pine Hill, this historic 15-bedroom inn with full-service restaurant, bar, and café offers a rare opportunity to reimagine a beloved Catskills institution. With a total interior square footage of over 10,000 sq ft, the property features a spacious lobby, commercial kitchen, offices, games room, and flexible gathering and event spaces. Also included are a rear outdoor terrace, a two-car garage, a separate two-bedroom apartment with its own entrance, and a three-bedroom carriage house. The property is connected to municipal water and sewer, has a liquor license, and has space for off-street parking for approximately 30 vehicles. Zoning supports a wide range of commercial and hospitality uses. The gardens to the rear of the property border Birch Creek, offering a picturesque natural backdrop and ample outdoor space for hosting weddings and seasonal events—making it an especially appealing venue for event-based hospitality. While significant renovation or redevelopment is needed, the potential is extraordinary. Imagine transforming the restaurant and bar into a sought-after après-ski gathering place for Belleayre Mountain visitors, or a cozy cultural hub for locals, weekend visitors from the city, hikers, and rail trail explorers. With thoughtful design, this historic space could once again become a true community anchor—serving locally inspired cuisine, craft cocktails and beer, along with warm Catskills hospitality. Located directly on Main Street with walkable access to the new rail trail linking the village directly to Belleayre Beach and Highmount, the Pine Hill Arms is ideally positioned to contribute to the village's revitalization. A number of commercial developments are already underway or in the planning stages—including a new food market, four retail storefronts, and expanded municipal parking—adding to Pine Hill's growing appeal as a year-round destination for tourism, recreation, and culture. Belleayre Mountain, just minutes away, continues to benefit from major state investment—including a high-speed gondola, expanded snowmaking, and new base lodge facilities. Its long ski season and growing calendar of four-season events draw visitors throughout the year. As an added benefit, the property may well qualify for historic tax credits, state incentives, or local grant programs aimed at encouraging the restoration and adaptive reuse of heritage buildings—offering potential financial support for visionary redevelopment. This is a compelling opportunity for a creative investor or hospitality operator to help lead the next chapter in Pine Hill's story.
