Tucked on a quiet lane just moments from Yankee Lake, this three-bedroom cottage offers the kind of potential that’s getting harder to find in Sullivan County. The setting is peaceful and wooded, with a level quarter-acre lot and that classic Catskills-area charm buyers look for in a weekend place or year-round home. Inside, the layout is simple and functional, with original wood floors, a screened entry porch, and natural light throughout. Several rooms still carry their vintage character, while others are ready for a full refresh, giving the next owner room to re imagine the space from the ground up. The structure and footprint make it an ideal canvas for renovation. With the parcel located inside the historic Yankee Lake community, there is also potential for lake rights depending on the deed—an appealing bonus for anyone dreaming of summers on the water.
Life in Wurtsboro blends small-town ease with access to some of the region’s best outdoor recreation. The Basha Kill Wildlife Refuge, with its boardwalks, birding, kayaking, and miles of trails, is just minutes away. The village offers cafés, shops, local markets, and seasonal events, while Route 17 keeps travel simple whether you’re heading toward Middletown, the casino and entertainment corridor, or back to the city. It’s a spot known for its lakes, quiet roads, and the natural beauty that draws so many to this part of the Catskills foothills.
For buyers looking for a project with upside, a getaway to transform, or an investment in an area with limited inventory and steady demand, 12 Casey Lane is a rare opportunity. With vision and updates, this cottage can become a charming retreat near one of the region’s most sought-after private lakes.
