Tucked away at the very end of a quiet road in sought-after Kerhonkson, 103 Trails End feels like something out of a fairytale. This one-of-a-kind 1960s architectural gem sits on over 3 acres of lush landscape, complete with a spring-fed pond, flowering trees, waterfalls, and the meandering Frank Diamond Brook—affectionately known as Trails End Brook. Surrounded by forests and nearby state land, this property is pure Catskills magic, offering privacy, serenity, and a deep connection to nature that's hard to find. The home itself is as special as its setting—an architecturally distinctive design that retains its original mid-century charm while offering thoughtful updates throughout. The main floor includes multiple living spaces with beautiful natural light, a wood burning fireplace, updated kitchen and dining area, laundry, and a flexible movie or studio room that's perfect for creative work, guests, or a private office. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with an adjacent office (or walk in closet) and a fantastic private balcony overlooking the pond. A screened-in porch is the standout feature that will be perfect for unwinding at night with a nice bottle of red with the sound of the stream in the distance. This property is made for long weekends and full-time escapes alike. Spend your days hiking your own private trails, swinging in the hammock by the waterfall, or reading by the pond as birdsong and brook sounds fill the air. At night, gather around the fire pit under a canopy of stars. With no neighbors in sight, it feels like your own private nature preserve—yet you're just minutes to the local gems of Kerhonkson, Accord, and Stone Ridge. Kerhonkson is quickly becoming one of the most desirable pockets of the Catskills thanks to its mix of creative energy, great food, and easy access to outdoor adventure. Spend your weekends hiking the Shawangunk Ridge, exploring Minnewaska and Mohonk, or visiting nearby spots like Inness, Arrowood Farms, and Westwind Orchard. Woodstock, Stone Ridge, High Falls, and Rosendale are all a quick drive for coffee, shopping, and charm. All of this just a 2-hour drive from NYC—making Trails End the ideal upstate escape.
Don’t go chasing Waterfalls because this European style country house in Kerhonkson has one waiting for you. An Introduction to the Water Features at Trails End can be found here: https://vimeo.com/582313583 This character-filled, 3200 square foot home is a tranquil, private haven situated within the Catskill Forest Preserve. The house is perched on a knoll overlooking the lush, landscaped grounds. The property is beautifully sculpted yet the landscape flows seamlessly with the natural environment. The magical story book grounds include a spring fed pond with Water Lilies that is reminiscent of a Monet painting, the cascading waterfall and hundreds of feet of flowing brook frontage (Frank Diamond Brook aka Trails End Brook) with no neighbors in sight. At the forest's edge, there is a Fire Pit to gather around and a hammock near the wooden bridge spanning the creek, mere steps to the swimming hole at the base of the Waterfall. Into the woods, a healthy hike will bring you to eventual road frontage on Ski Slope Road. The house contains unique architectural details throughout. In addition to kitchen, dining room and living areas on the main level, there is a laundry and half bath. Plus, a large multi-use room, previously used as a musician's studio, and home theater, could also serve as a private office or separate guest area. On the second floor, you will find four bedrooms and two full baths along with a large screened in porch over looking the pond and grounds. The main bedroom has a large walk in closet that could be a small office or dressing room and a door that leads to a private balcony deck with chairs looking out to and over the pond. Another bedroom has an adjacent, separate space suitable for focused exercise and meditation. Please see Associated Docs for layouts of each floor. There is a garage/outbuilding next to a firewood storage structure which keeps the logs dry. So rarely does one find such a charming house imbued with such authentic character that is also integrated within a truly enchanting, natural setting. This property offers captivating seclusion, a perfect blend of sun, trees, water and plants. Truly, a home for all seasons.
