Previous Description:
A rare opportunity to own a breathtaking mountain sanctuary that has not changed hands in generations. There is an off-grid hunting cabin resting near the open meadows of approximately 160 dynamic acres of wilderness and potential. The property represents the eastern mountain portion of Mountainbrook Farms, a renowned equine and ecotourism haven in the Northern Catskills. Locally known as "Old Scort," the mountain lies off a picturesque dead-end valley road that rises gently until it vanishes into 1,000+ acres of forever-wild state land on Huntersfield and Pinnacle Mountains. Substantial adjacent DEP holdings ensure lasting privacy and recreational use as well. The property connects directly to the legendary Long Path Trail, stretching from New Jersey to Maine-perfect for hiking, exploring, and rediscovering peace in the outdoors. Access is provided by 50 feet of deeded ownership which is also the beginning of a large well-maintained trail, navigable by truck, ATV, or on foot. The trail climbs a pleasant half mile before branching into smaller ATV paths that extend for miles across the property, state and city trails. A 2-bedroom, two-story, fully sustainable hunting cabin with deck will be waiting for you 1/2 mile up. It comes complete with propane for cooking, electricity, 2 wood stoves, and spring-fed water. Property-sourced materials are accented throughout, such as white oak and pine. Cabin is only partially shown in photos. Beyond the gates outside, wide open maintained meadows offer sweeping views open to rolling pastures, apple trees, stone walls, and mature arbors across the valley. From this secluded perch, enjoy unforgettable westerly sunsets. The owner has granted deeded rights to build up to two residences on the property. The cabin can serve as caretaker housing, a guest home, or a residence while constructing your alpine estate. The land extends to the middle of West Hollow Brook, bordered by wetlands and a thriving ecosystem of waterfowl and wildlife. Near the summit, the property follows the ridgeline, featuring caves, ledges, and dramatic rock outcroppings to explore. There are also southerly facing views at the pinnacle. Escape to your own mountain paradise just 15 minutes from Windham Mountain Resort, offering year-round recreation, alpine culture, and fine dining. Only 2.5 hours from Manhattan, and minutes from Windham Winery, Christman's Golf Course, and guided equine, fishing, and hunting tours. All acreage and boundary lines are approximate and subject to final survey and Ashland Town Planning Board approval. Showings are by guided tour only. Please contact the broker for showing instructions. This rare Catskills gem balances adventure, tranquility, and opportunity-properties like this come along only every so often...
