Property Description

Welcome to Rattler's Retreat, the hideaway in the Catskills you have been waiting for! This is a rare opportunity to live in one of only 4 houses on this town-maintained, dead-end country road in the hamlet of scenic Cherrytown. Surrounded by large acreage parcels of undeveloped land, all backing up to the Cherrytown Mountain, grants you the feeling of inner peace and serenity the minute you pull into the driveway of this tastefully designed mountain chalet finished in 2023. No expense was spared, and attention to detail is evident from the second you step foot in the door. A 20+ foot wall of windows looking out into the enchanted forest brings the outdoors inside while natural light overflows into the entire home.
