Description

Set privately on 20 acres, Trojan House is a fully renovated 5 bed, 3 bath home with a rare combination of seclusion, convenience, and waterfront access. Updated top-to-bottom in 2021, this is a turnkey asset that checks so many of the boxes for an upstate buyer. Entering the home from the new bluestone patio, Trojan House is divided among upper and lower levels. Upstairs features a luxurious chef’s kitchen featuring a six-burner Wolf range, built in wine fridge, and bountiful storage. Fully redone in 2021, this is the kind of kitchen you dream about. A comfortable sitting room with large picture window overlooking the rolling meadow, and dining area make this a perfect place to host with everyone nice and cozy while you do your best Ina Garten impression. An adjoining deck makes grill season a breeze. Down the hallway you’ll find a shared full bathroom, two comfortable guest rooms, and the King size primary with en-suite full bath. Downstairs you’ll find a large den - perfect for game nights, movie watching, or a comfortable playroom for the little ones. Again, a sizable shared bathroom for two additional guest rooms in the lower level - as well as a bonus flex room. Currently set up as a bunk room to accommodate maximum capacity, but could easily be used as an office or whatever usage you might desire. A well-organized laundry room with a pair of stacked washer/dryer combos rounds out the downstairs. In every way, Trojan House is built to accommodate a crowd. This is a host’s dream. Available furnished, this can truly be a turnkey experience. Outside, the twenty acres is spread across three separate tax parcels. There are two adjacent 9ish acre parcels, with a mix of woods and rolling meadow. The land is generous in scale, deeply private, and highly usable. There are myriad opportunities for added amenities - whether that be a pool, a sport court, gardens, animals, or anything else you may want open land for. There is a newer detached garage that could be easily converted to a gym or studio if so desired - and with the adjacent buildable lot, you can really imagine the start of a true Catskills compound. Just across Little Ireland Rd. - a 2 minute walk from the house - is your 1 acre lakefront lot with lounging deck. A newly cut trail leads you through the evergreen woods out to the beautiful shore of Trojan Lake. Imagine sunset cocktails, listening to nothing but the chorus of birds, frogs, and breeze through the treetops. The lake is a wonderful spot for a paddle, or to throw in a line. With very few houses on the lake, it feels like a true mountain watering hole. To top it all off - Trojan House is located just five minutes from the ever popular town of Livingston Manor. Enjoy true rural privacy while still being able to quickly hop in to town for delicious dinners out, cute boutiques, and specialty groceries. Meanwhile, travel just a few minutes the other direction and end up in the heart of Catskill State Park with access to incredible hiking, biking, fishing, and wilderness exploration. Truly the best of all worlds, Trojan House is a unique blend of so much of what makes Catskills real estate compelling. Whether looking for full-time, part-time or as a high-capacity investment play - Trojan Lake has a lot to offer. Come make it your personal Shangri-La.
