195 Berry Hill Road

Set up in the mountains on 7.5 private acres at the end of a seldom-traveled dead-end road, this immaculate 2021 residence offers a rare Catskills retreat with those mountain views you're seeking and direct exposure to unspoiled protected land. A parklike setting unfolds from a generous lawn to a spring fed swimming pond, framed by mature trees and the privacy of land that adjoins and overlooks 120 acres of Department of Environmental Protection ''forever wild'' land, assuring permanent, undeveloped views in front. The practically new (2021) home is spotless and move-in ready, appointed for comfortable, single level, maintenance-free living. The primary suite features an ensuite full bath and step-in closet; two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the sleeping quarters. Thoughtful amenities include a laundry room adjacent to the eat-in kitchen, forced air, a large deck oriented to the mountain panorama. A DEP-approved septic system was installed in 2012. Complementing the residence is a substantial two-story barn/workshop with electric and a wood-burning stove - perfect for hobbies, storage, or creative pursuits. Recreation is immediate: boating and trailheads at the Pepacton Reservoir are just minutes away, and Belleayre Ski Center is approximately 20 minutes. The nearby village of Andes offers a burgeoning cultural life with gallery-lined streets, boutiques, fine dining and a beloved general store--while Margaretville provides additional shops, groceries and medical services close at hand. Effortless and serene, this property is a quintessential Catskills getaway: turnkey comfort, expansive privacy, and enduring natural beauty.
