About 3 Cruickshank Road

In the heart of Big Indian-Oliverea's ''vacation valley,'' this 1970 Catskills country home offers streamside living and easy single level comfort. The open living dining area features a wood burning fireplace with bluestone surround, flowing to a country kitchen with views of the back garden and Balsam Mountain range in the distance. Three bedrooms and a main bath complete the first floor, with the third bedroom currently used as an office/craft room. From the kitchen, stairs lead to the 950+ sq ft lower level with one car garage, workshop, well maintained mechanicals, storage, and laundry area. A newly installed Briggs & Stratton whole house generator (propane fueled) adds essential peace of mind. The side yard and back yard include a shed, firewood supply, and a metal port suited for gear or repurposed as a gazebo with a picnic table for outdoor dining beside the Lost Clove stream. The Esopus Creek is a short walk away for fly fishing or just enjoying the beauty of the river and valley. There is an abundance of recreational choices and culinary experiences in this community as well as in nearby hamlets and villages with access to farmers markets, local retail stores, community events, and renowned dining at Peekamoose and the Shandaken Inn. Trailheads for Giant Ledge, Slide, McKenley Hollow, Panther, and the neighborhood's Lost Clove Trail are minutes away. Ideally situated for four season recreation, the home is just a 15-minute drive to Belleayre Mountain and within easy reach of both Hunter Mountain and Plattekill Mountain ski centers.
