About the Listing TMBLND01 - 64332,8888
Tucked away off Oliverea Road in the sleepy hamlet of Big Indian, on a quiet cul-de-sac across the Esopus Creek, this enchanting retreat spans 51.6 deeded acres across two parcels and offers rare privacy amid its NYS Forest Tax Law–managed woodland and meadow. The 1950 three-bedroom, two bath country cottage provides 1,362 sq ft of warm creekside living, complete with a gazebo overlooking the water and a large storage shed. Two deeded State easement trails, one on each side of the property lead through woodland paths to State land behind this property. Along the right-side trail sits a beautiful two-level barn of roughly 750 sq ft, beside a stunning meadow dotted with old fruit trees and home to a picnic table with benches. Built in 2002, the barn replaced a former second home once sited on the 5.9-acre parcel. Altogether, this is a serene Catskills haven where the sound of the Esopus and the sweep of open land create a timeless sense of calm. Ideally located in the Big Indian–Oliverea Valley, this Catskills home places you within 15 to 45 minutes of Belleayre, Plattekill, and Hunter Mountain ski centers—an easy launch point for winter sports. In warmer months, enjoy Belleayre Lake Beach, vibrant farmers markets, and a wide range of celebrated restaurants across nearby hamlets. With some of the region’s most popular Catskill Park trailheads just minutes away, the property is a perfect base for hikers, skiers, and anyone seeking year-round outdoor access in a peaceful mountain setting. Upon entering the great room of this compact and peaceful home, French doors opening to the surrounding deck and large casement windows connect the indoors with views toward the Esopus Creek and the forest trail, where an impressive stand of Eastern Hemlock and yellow birch frames the landscape. Anchoring the great room and cozy dining area is a wood burning stove with a fieldstone surround. The recently renovated kitchen features granite countertops and a breakfast island, opening to a lounge area with a propane fireplace and bay window overlooking the gardens. The home is offered fully turnkey, including most furnishings, decorations, utensils, fixtures, and appliances. For improved forest and wildlife stewardship, the owners enrolled 50 acres of the property in the New York State Forest Tax Law Section 480 A Management Plan. All acreage lies within the NYC Shokan Reservoir designated area. The landowner’s goal is to manage the forest for saw timber and other wood products, enhance wildlife habitat, protect water resources, and maintain recreational value. As a result, the property has been carefully tended to support fishing, tree cultivation, hiking, cross country skiing, nature study, and foraging for berries, mushrooms, and other plants.
