An updated CWC septic allows future owners to expand the living area if desired. What truly sets this property apart is its extraordinary context: while the property itself is small, it’s surrounded by a mind-blowing 5,000+ acres of private Gould family land, You won’t see a neighbor for miles.  Rooted in the history of the Catskills, this little gem is anchored to the Haynes Hollow Stream (it literally flows past your back door) before joining the historic Dry Brook Stream nearby. It's peaceful, picturesque, and ridiculously special.  . This is a once-in-a-generation kind of place - quirky, soulful, and impossible to replicate.
