This private homestead in the Catskills with a view of Mombaccus Mountain is off the beaten path and surrounded by nature & extensive plantings. Pick apples, cherries, pears, plums, & peaches and gather blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, huckleberries - and more! If you like eating fresh, organic fruit and vegetables from your own front and back yards, this is what you've been searching for. Right near the front gardens sits the house with its front porch inviting you to sit awhile or open the door into the living room where you can take off your boots, hang up your coat and go straight over to the fireplace on the right. Or head to the master suite on the left. The kitchen & laundry room are to the back of the home, and there is a gorgeous view of the forest right behind the ample backyard with its plantings, playground, animal coops, pens, and houses where chickens, ducks, & guard dogs currently live. Back through the living room is a hallway leading to 2 bedrooms, another bathroom, and a stairway down to the finished basement. The basement has its own bathroom with a shower, a few smaller rooms, and a large open area all heated by a wood burning stove in winter. The walkout door takes you directly into the backyard. This basement is a perfect space for many uses and currently works as an herb room, a studio, storage space and a place to just hang out and relax. Outside, on the right side of the house is a 2-car garage and & an attached, large work or storage space. On the other side are two new sheds with many possibilities. One is so sweet and could easily be a playhouse or studio. The other larger one seems great for storage or tools and what the third will hold is up to you to decide. The house itself, built in 1990, is solid with a nice flow and country feeling. If you are someone looking for a welcoming home in the country for a very reasonable price - this is it! It's totally surrounded by beautiful forests and abundant wildlife and most of the acreage is fully deer fenced. Flower gardens and many varieties of native plants that encourage pollinators and birds have been carefully tended. All the work has been done for you to enjoy life in the country.
