605 Ferris Hill Road

Description

Set amid the rolling hills and expansive landscapes of the Central Catskills, this exceptional 453.1-acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial and historically significant Catskills landholding. At its heart is an authentic approximately 200-year-old farmhouse, offering timeless character and a direct connection to the property's agricultural heritage. The property features over 2,000 feet of road frontage along both sides of Ferris Hill Road, plus more than 600 feet of frontage on Murray Road, creating an unusually accessible and versatile acreage parcel. The landscape is a beautiful blend of open meadows and wooded areas, with trails throughout the property for hiking, exploring, hunting, recreation, or simply enjoying the privacy and natural beauty of the land. A pond adds to the property's scenic appeal. Historic outbuildings further enhance the property's character and possibilities, including the original milk house and a large two-section barn located across the road from the farmhouse. Together, the farmhouse, barns, meadows, woods, trails, pond, and extensive road frontage create a property with tremendous potential for a private estate, working or hobby farm, equestrian use, recreational retreat, agricultural venture, or legacy Catskills compound. Adding to the property's unique appeal is an additional 45-acre parcel included in the offering, encompassing the summit of Irish Mountain. Rising above 3,000 feet, Irish Mountain is known among experienced Catskills hikers, particularly those pursuing the Catskills 3,000-foot peaks. This additional acreage provides a remarkable recreational component and makes this offering especially appealing to outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a truly distinctive Catskills property. With substantial acreage, historic structures, multiple access points, diverse terrain, recreational trails, water, open land, forest, and a prominent Catskills summit, this is a property that offers far more than a home—it is an opportunity to own a significant piece of the region's landscape and history.
