Swamp Pond Sanctuary: Narrowsburg, NY

About The Property

Privately nestled in 30 forested acres, yet bathed in light year round, this 2 bed 3 bath contemporary home is a perfect country sanctuary.

That seclusion is evident when turning up the long driveway, situated off a quiet, winding country road. The house comes into view as an upstate oasis, surrounded by trees and calm.

Entering the Great Room the large spaces flow into each other. The kitchen, always the focus of a dinner party, is open and the central focus. The vented stove faces into the space so you can converse and impress your guests with your culinary talents. The dining area easily accommodates a table for 10, or more. In winter, the room can be kept cozy and warm by the bluestone hearth of the wood stove.

Windows surround the space, as does access to the large porch and deck. In the summer, throw all the doors open and allow the free flow of evening air and conversation drift through the room. The front porch area is covered and sheltered from an evening shower. The open deck on the side of the home has a large table that could be expanded even further. A fire pit is a Catskills must have, and this one is sure to deliver many a s’more.

When it’s time to turn in head upstairs to the two bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a king size bed and closet, with room for a reading area or desk nook. The secondary bedroom fits a queen size bed and is adjacent to the shared, renovated bathroom. Both bedrooms benefit from the mini split air conditioning.

With cozy radiant floor heat, 9’ ceilings, and a newly renovated full bathroom, the finished basement makes a great overflow sleeping area, office space, playroom and den. Custom storage has been added and there is a large utility room for the washer/dryer and mechanicals. Also air conditioned, the room feels super comfortable throughout the year.

Trails have been created through the mostly forested 30 acres. Take long walks on the property or take out the quad. There is a babbling stream and a pond that could be expanded. There are additional trails at the 13,000 acre Boy Scout Camp nearby (soon to be made public lands).

The solar panels are leased for $55/month, so there is a negligible monthly electric bill even keeping the hot tub at temperature.

As a part of the Weiden Lake HOA, there is an annual $300 fee that allows access rights to the private and scenic lake.

The boutique shops and great restaurants of Narrowsburg are but 13 minutes away.
