Tucked down a long driveway, Valley View is perched along a ridge enjoying two of the finest amenities houses can offer: views and privacy. Valley View is rich in country charm and coziness, with a flexible chalet layout sure to work well as a countryside retreat. Entering the house from the handsome entryway, you’re greeted with a classic chalet layout and cabin feel - bedroom and bathroom tucked to the rear of the house on opposite sides of the entry foyer, and a great room to the front of you. Long range valley views hit you immediately, with the sensation that the house is nearly floating in the sky. The great room is balanced between its wall of windows and long range views, with the coziness of the Jotul wood stove on the far side. This is an easy room to imagine enjoying year round whether soaking in the summer sun or cozying up in front of a fire with a gentle snow falling. An open kitchen is compact but highly functional with ample storage (including additional closet space in the hallway.) When the deck isn’t available for al fresco dining, the eat-in kitchen is more than adequate while enjoying meadow views to the north side of the house. Upstairs, a nearly 400 square foot loft can be used in myriad ways. Currently set up as a den and play room, this could easily be converted to a dedicated bedroom or office - or keep it flexible and let it work for whatever the day calls for. Downstairs, the finished walk-out basement is currently configured as an additional bedroom suite. There is plenty of opportunity to flex this space to whatever use is desired, much like the loft. The basement features an additional full bathroom, stacked laundry, and ample storage spread across multiple closets. Directly outside the basement you’ll find the six-person hot tub with some of the best soaking views available. Valley View sits on 7 pastoral acres, and includes a small pond accessed via a trail from the house. The house sits nearly halfway down the parcel with large fields and lawn surrounding. No shortage of room for adding amenities. In addition, there is an adjacent 47 acre parcel that surrounds the home also available for purchase. The Beechwoods district of Callicoon is some of the most desirable land in all of Sullivan County and this is a unique opportunity to grab your slice of it. Only ten minutes from both Callicoon and Jeffersonville, Valley View sits in a privileged pocket of the Western Catskills with quick access to some of the most loved towns in the area.
