This unique property offers both the utmost privacy and great accessibility, with Route 87 just a short drive away. Featuring immaculate grounds and private access to Kaaterskill Creek, this gorgeous homestead is truly a Catskills playground.
A former campground transformed into the ultimate upstate retreat, this compound is perfect for outdoor hobbies and adventures. You can spend your summers enjoying the trail that surrounds the property — great for walking, biking, horseback riding and cross country skiing — or you can go fishing and camping by the side of the stream. Cool off in one of the property’s multiple swimming holes, or warm up on cold nights by the fire pit. You’ll even have what you need to start your very own micro-farm, including a horse pen, housing for chickens, and a fenced-in garden plot.
The house is a recently gut renovated Cape Cod-style home with hardwood floors and all new features. When you first arrive, you’ll feel the property’s farmhouse charm as you walk down the stone path to the front door, and upon entering, you’ll be amazed at the luxury splendor inside.
The indoor spaces in this house are impressive. In addition to the beautiful new kitchen, you’ll see the adjoining dining room and a spacious living room complete with a wood stove and French doors, with a dramatic view of the property. You can also head out to the first-floor veranda for another great view and a shady spot to relax.
Entertaining in this house will be a blast, with several options to choose from. Try a cocktail hour in the living room, an intimate dinner party in the dining room, or plan your next birthday bash on the stone deck on the other side of the house. This exquisite outdoor space shows off this property’s effortless mix of rustic charm and modern comfort.
When it’s time to turn in, you’ll have the house’s three bedrooms and two baths to enjoy. You can retreat upstairs to the primary suite, which includes its own spa-like bathroom and steam shower with elegant tiling. A second-floor deck offers more beautiful views.
There’s even a separate guest house with its own kitchen, living room, and bedroom nestled near the creek, with a flower garden just outside the door. Your guests will be amazed at the tranquility and comfort.
Other outdoor bonuses include an additional studio, great to use as a gym or a game room, as well as another rustic cabin that could be converted for additional living space.
If you’re a lover of the great outdoors and have ever dreamed of making your retreat into the gorgeous reaches of the Catskills, then you owe it to yourself to plan a visit to tour this home. Be sure to set aside a little extra time for this one — this property is large and full of exciting things to see. We can’t wait to share it with you.
Sheena is the best! We interviewed 3 realtors when it came time to sell our parent's house in Woodstock and Sheena was the clear winner. From our initial meeting she was professional, experienced, confident, listened to our needs and concerns, walked us through the process and put us at ease. She stayed in touch every step of the way, checking in, always available to talk things through and always had our best interests at heart. Within a week of listing our house we had 6 amazing offers. Sheena helped us navigate through the next steps always keeping the process moving, and finally, closing day. She clearly loves what she does and it shows. Thank you Sheena for everything!
-Elinor Johnson
Our family highly recommends Sheena Lepez for her professionalism, pleasant personality, honesty and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure positive results. Sheena genuinely loves her work! She understands all aspects of real estate-from initially appreciating specific features of our home to navigating the many steps of closing the sale in a timely way. We appreciated the high-end marketing of our property with extraordinary photography and outreach. The trusted relationship our family had with Sheena gave us peace of mind during the process and we are very pleased with the service she provided.
-Susan Luhrs
Sheena was our agent when selling our family home of nearly ten years in the Catskills and we were so grateful for her guidance through the process. We had done an almost complete renovation to the house and she expertly helped us value those improvements and at what price to take the house to market. The house sold at asking price the very first weekend it was on the market! Who could ask for me! She guided us through the inspection and other closing processes. We recommend her full-heartedly!
-Samantha Contreras
Sheena is a gem. She is knowledgeable, honest, fun, thoughtful, and knows how to close. She never pushed a bunch of bs on us. We genuinely trusted she had our best interests at heart. Even in a hot market, she helped us to take our time and find exactly what we were looking for. And while she is a legitimately kind and humane person, behind the scenes she puts in work. Often I overheard her in the next room stealthily and conscientiously advocating for our best interests. Sheena gets the job done, and made buying and closing on a home a mostly pleasant experience. We give Sheena our highest recommendation.
-Theo Baker
My wife and I currently live in New York City and, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, began looking for a house upstate. Suffice it to say that these were not ideal conditions to meet a new broker or engage in this complicated and new home shopping process. Sheena came highly recommended to us by our broker in NYC, and she did not disappoint. Her warm and welcoming demeanor instantly made us feel comfortable. The process of looking for homes could not have been easier--Sheena helped us scout listings online, kept us apprised of new listings that she thought we might like, and immediately turned us away from properties with which she had concerns that were not readily apparent to us. She helped us find our dream country house in less than a month. The process of obtaining an accepted offer and ensuring everything is ready for closing is always a daunting one, but Sheena again made this process painless. She did the full negotiation to get us an accepted offer price below asking and then followed up on everything for us, not only getting us in to inspect the property within a week but also coordinating with all of the vendors who serviced the property so that we knew what maintenance we could expect and how to extend contracts that were already pre-existing. We could not have navigated this process without Sheena, and in the future I will turn only to Sheena and her Wolf Pack Team if we, my family, or my friends have any future real estate needs in the Hudson Valley or Catskills. We consider Sheena both our realtor and, more importantly, our friend--that's rare to find in this business. Contact her with any real estate needs--she will not disappoint.
-Joseph Ortega
Searching for and buying a house in the midst of a pandemic is pretty daunting, but Sheena was our rock throughout the entire process. Her knowledge of the marketplace is top-notch. She will have always have your back and will go above and beyond for her clients. She's also just a good person who's fun to be around! If you're looking for a knowledgable, trustworthy, patient, professional and attentive sales agent, call Sheena.
-Carrie Weprin
Sheena was our sales agent and we couldn’t have asked for better. She was attentive, professional, respectful and responsive. Sheena never let anything “ride”. She was hands on at every turn, and resourceful in solving issues. When there was an issue getting testing results, she made the calls and stayed with it until answers were received. Because of her tenacity our closing was on time and without issue. Sheena made what is usually a stressful undertaking, a pleasant experience. She is the best and I would go to her again.
-Elaine Martin
Sheena was patient with me as I looked at many, many houses, even showing me ones she knew I wouldn't like. In the end she sold my existing house, and found me the home I would buy with 99% of the things on my wish list.You won't be disappointed with her knowledge and expertise in the local real estate market.
-Farah Polaski
Sheena was professional, super knowledgeable, and highly tuned in to the pulse of the local market. She carefully selected potential properties and used our feedback to thoughtfully narrow down the options each time. As new contenders would come on the market we would immediately hear from Sheena if it fit our criteria. The offer negotiations, various communications and closing were seamless and handled very professionally. We would not hesitate to work with Sheena again in the future.
-Jamie Kennard
Sheena was a dream to work with in purchasing our home in Saugerties, NY. Her knowledge of the area, the market and the local real estate community are unparalleled. Her extremely high work ethic was evident from the moment we met and carried us through until closing day. When any challenge presented itself, Sheena was able to quickly problem solve and keep the process moving forward. And, finally, she just an all-around good person; definitely someone you want to have on your team. 5 stars doesn’t seem enough.
-Daniel Sorbello
We were interested in selling our home and we were lucky enough to have found Sheena on Zillow. Her knowledge of the local market is unparalleled: she had the experience, insight and can-do work effort to back up her suggested sale price. Sheena walked us through every step of the process. She produced a very capable list of consultants covering everything from the photographer to the attorney. We ended up accepting a full-ask offer within the first week. As with any home sale, we experienced a few road blocks and Sheena confidently problem solved and coached us through all of them. She is responsive and always keeps it real; she works tirelessly and has the results to prove it. In short, best broker we have ever worked with!
-David Ries
Sheena was a pleasure to work with on the sale of my home. She brought tons of energy and enthusiasm to the table and was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable with all of my questions and concerns. I genuinely felt that she had my best interests in mind and truly advocated for me. I never felt pressured by her to make decisions or commit to anything that I was unsure about. Sheena has a great sense of humor and a personality that is both easy going when you need reassurance as well as confident and proactive when it comes to getting where you need to be.
-Sara Agrest
Sheena could not have made this a better or easier process for us. We chose a very complicated property with many moving parts. She not only managed every minute of it from beginning to end (even past closing), she also kept our stress levels down the entire time. She assured us she would handle every bump in the road and that she did. Sheena puts her whole heart into each deal and will help you through every inch of the process. We couldn't be happier with our choice !
