Neversink Farmhouse - Set above the Rondout Reservoir on the edge of the Neversink watershed, this expansive property—nearly 75 acres within the Catskill State Park—captures the untamed spirit of the Catskills, where wilderness, history, and possibility converge. Once home to the Lenape people and later part of the ''lost towns'' submerged to create the Neversink and Rondout Reservoirs, the land carries a rare and mythic allure within a now-protected landscape.
Built in 1946 and interior-designer-owned, the well-proportioned four-bedroom, two-bath farmhouse offers classic lines, solid construction, and remarkable potential for thoughtful restoration. Soft vintage hues, custom pine cabinetry, built-in bookcases, and a window-seat reading nook reflect enduring craftsmanship and an eye for proportion, color, and charm. With great bones and a clear sense of intention throughout, the home is ready to be lovingly refreshed for modern living while honoring its roots.
The acreage encompasses open meadows, stone walls, mature forest, and several outbuildings—a large workshop/garage, potting shed, wood shed, and garden shed—all within the protected park. Bordered by pristine wilderness, mountain views, and abundant wildlife, the property also benefits from a developing timber-management plan focused on restoring native hardwoods and promoting long-term ecological renewal.
Formerly a successful Airbnb with both short- and long-term rental history, the property offers immediate income potential or the foundation for a creative redevelopment. Nearby farm-to-table and artist communities enrich the region's culture and economy, while world-class rock climbing, hiking, cycling, and fly-fishing await along the Shawangunk Ridge, Mohonk Preserve, and Neversink River.
Whether envisioned as a private retreat, regenerative land project, or eco-lodge, 956-958 State Route 55A is defined by character, acreage, and soul—embodying the enduring adventure and serenity of the Catskills lifestyle.
