197 Weiss Road, Roscoe, NY 12776

Property Description

The country cadence starts well before the tree-lined gravel road reaches the entrance to Sunnyfield Farm, a rural stretch where you're more likely to slow for a farmer on a tractor than for traffic. Yet fifteen minutes or less gets you to Callicoon, Jeffersonville and Roscoe, where the best of Catskills food, drink and outdoor pursuits may be had. At 114 acres, the land is exceptional. Paths wind through woods, along a creek, and across wide open meadows and side fields where gnarled apple, pear, sour cherry and peach trees grow. Birdsong fills the air, and fireflies light up the meadows come evening. The multi-acre pond is crystal clear and a treat to swim, with a sandy beach area, picnic table, and a nearby shed for water toys. A great meadow flares out from the crest of a gentle incline above the pond, with a view over the water and panoramic vistas for the remainder of the 360 degrees. The house itself features numerous picture windows and a whitewashed interior, allowing for abundant natural light and views from most rooms. Best of all is the generous covered front porch, looking out at distant hills and the front fields. The side mud room, with charming wainscoting, is spacious enough for gear in every season. The kitchen, with its new backsplash tile, counters, lighting and BlueStar Platinum range, opens to the dedicated dining area. The living room includes a new wood stove (2024) on an elevated hearth, plenty to heat the house on its own, though electric heat is also in place. Off the living room are two guest bedrooms, one en suite with a stall shower, plus a second bathroom with tub/shower and a separate laundry closet housing the security system monitor. Upstairs, a wide landing bathed in natural light leads to two large bedrooms lit by high clerestory windows running the full length of the house, with significant storage set into the eaves. The full bathroom, gut renovated in 2024 with new tile, fixtures and a sleek shower, completes the floor. Near the house, a wood paneled studio with cathedral ceiling sits above the two-car garage, while a huge romantic red barn with silo offers a blank canvas of its own, from parties to animals to whatever comes to mind. Both structures are wired with electric, including the barn's tack room. Just outside the barn is a 7' x 7' cedar sauna positioned to take in the bucolic setting, and on the other side of the house, a fenced garden with raised beds, perennials and a patio invites al fresco dining among the flowers and vegetables. Sunnyfield Farm is a magical destination property, the stuff of country living dreams.
