Brownstoner Upstate: Sullivan County, Part Two

We’re not finished with Sullivan County just yet (check out last week’s post for Part One). There are still plenty more listings to enjoy from this Catskill Mountains destination, with today’s picks ranging in price from $349,900 to $118,900. Spoiler alert: The cheapest one is located in a small, private lake community. The others are located on good-sized pieces of land, but nearly all of them need a shot of individual creativity to really make them pop, and one is in need of total renovation. Take your pick.

Smallwood is a lake community located in the town of Bethel. Lots of inexpensive properties are consistently on the market. This one seems to be in fine condition with an adorable little enclosed gazebo thrown in. It also includes a spacious deck and backyard. And then there’s the community club house, tennis courts, and, of course, Mountain Lake for swimming, boating, and fishing. We always get a little dreamy about lake communities in the Catskills. Beds: 2. Baths: 2. Square Feet: 1,050. Lot Size: .17 acres. Est. Taxes: $3,284.

Here’s one in Narrowsburg right on the shore of the Delaware River. Requisite flood warnings and cautions apply here. Still, the view is gorgeous, it’s located on lots of land, and if you like log cabins, this is about as log cabin-y as they come. Includes a deck that overlooks the river, which provides the NY/PA. Beds: 3. Baths: 3. Square Feet: 2,260. Lot Size: 6 acres. Est. Taxes: $6,244.

Here’s another rustic offering, this one cedar shake instead of log, located in Monticello just outside of town. Love the look of the exterior, and the interior is fine, too (warning: lots of knotty pine). Includes a two-stall horse barn and outdoor riding arena outside, and a solarium, sauna, whirlpool tub, and fireplace on the inside. It’s on a whole lotta land minutes from Holiday Mountain Ski Area, Wanaksink Lake, and the Neversink River. Beds: 4. Baths: 3. Square Feet: 2,000. Lot Size: 9 acres. Est. Taxes: $7,300.

Yes, it’s a pretty farmhouse, but it needs to be completely renovated. It also comes with a 992 square foot cottage that’s currently occupied by renters, and a five acre piece of land perfect for stretching your legs, planting a garden or three, or enjoying some privacy. Could be a worthwhile project if you’re not afraid to start from scratch, and it’s situated in some beautiful countryside. Beds: 6. Baths: 2. Square Feet: 2296. Lot Size: 5 acres. Est. Taxes: $5,785.
