8709 Route 28, Shandaken, NY 12410

Do you have a large posse or dream of starting a B&B? This extra-large and solid home with waterfront property could be for you! It includes a double lot totaling 3.8 acres, with spectacular mountain views, with a sizable portion of it the large swimming pond, six feet at it its deepest part and the size of a football field! You will have no shortage of wildlife sightings here, including otters, ducks, deer and bald eagles. Behind the pond flows the Birch Creek, with easy access for fishing and swimming fun. You can also fish for trout in the pond, as they come in from the creek via an inlet on the property! The first floor has three generous bedrooms and a bathroom, plus a huge eat-in kitchen, living room, jumbo mudroom that could also be an office, den or play room, and an enclosed back porch. Upstairs are five more bedrooms of good size, plus two more bathrooms. You'll find a few more bonus rooms upstairs too, currently set up as bedrooms but they could be nice home offices. There is also an enormous basement the full footprint of the house and a neat finished attic with two more nice sized rooms. There is even a spacious secret hidden bunker below the sturdy front porch. You have to see it to believe it! There are four outbuildings plus a garage, so there is even more room for a yoga studio, he and she caves, offices, workshops, and more. High speed cable internet readily available for the Zoom crowd! With a special use permit, this could be a wonderful B&B. You're even on the town sewer line here, making those B&B dreams that much more possible! Prime location about two minutes to Belleayre Beach aka Pine Hill Lake, seven minutes to the Belleayre Ski Center and twelve minutes to Phoenicia. Just two hours to the GWB. You are surrounded here by natural splendor and every recreational opportunity the Catskill Park has to offer, along with world class dining close by, including the Peekamoose, Urban Cowboy Lodge, Phoenicia Diner, and the Shandaken Inn. Route 28 offers convenience and excellent road maintenance, and it is also a scenic byway that is full of majestic beauty. Driving back and forth to this home is a pleasure. Come take a look.
