884 Scudder Hill, Roxbury, NY 12480

Open House: Saturday, 11/12 11-1pm. Welcome to Roxbury Mountain Farmhouse, a rare and exemplary Greek revival farmhouse. From its perch high on Scudder Hill Road, the mountains roll into the distance. Enjoy long views to Plattekill Mountain and along the East branch of the Delaware river as it runs from its headwaters near Grand Gorge down Scenic Route 30. This is a rare opportunity to own a unique and classic Catskills retreat, with room to explore. The sprawling 64 acre property climbs the mountain behind the home, with potential for winding trails, and more than one additional potential build site. The home has been recently renovated, with a designer’s touch. Previous owners shored up the foundation with a new poured concrete foundation, so this home is built to last, and the current owners updated and curated this home to what you see today. From the brand new front porch, enter the foyer and find the living room with a new cast iron wood stove and wide plank wood floors. A well appointed guest bedroom or potential home office adjoins the living room. The spacious main bathroom on this floor has been tastefully designed, with a claw foot tub, pedestal sink, and shower, in timeless style. Cream subway tile, and aquamarine square penny floor tile also match the powder room on this floor. The dining room is brooding and mature with dark walls, an antique farmhouse table, and art deco light fixtures. There is plenty of space to entertain your guests, and windows on both sides and french doors leading to this space allow ample light to contrast the dark styling. The picture window onto the front porch allows for dazzling mountain views as you dine. The kitchen has been fully renovated in modern farmhouse style with an oversized sink, built in hutches, and timeless original wainscotting. New Bertazzoni appliances include an induction range and range hood, refrigerator and dishwasher. A guest room off the kitchen receives light from front and side facing windows and has private access to the powder room through a newly added laundry/closet space. Upstairs, find original wide plank flooring, and two additional bedrooms. The back facing bedroom is set with two twin beds, but there’s plenty of room for a queen size bed, or use this space as a nursery or home office. The spacious front facing room is currently used as the primary bedroom, with ample space for a king sized bed, desk, dressers and armoire. Finally, the blank slate that can make this home the one of your dreams. To the right of the stairs, you’ll find an entire wing of the home that is begging to be an oversized primary suite. The current owners have a layout for a sprawling primary bedroom here, with walk-in closet and luxurious private bath. Roxbury Mountain Farmhouse is a truly special home, with potential to be a weekend retreat, full time residence, or a top tier rental property, here in short term rental friendly Delaware County. Explore the charming nearby hamlets of Roxbury, Margaretville, Andes and Bovina, and take advantage of skiing at nearby Plattekill and Belleayre Mountains. Come and make it your own. The property was recently combined from two parcels into one, and could be easily cloved along those lines to cut out a 6 acre lot with road frontage next door, or make grander plans for a large lot cut from the 64 acres.
