Here’s your opportunity to own an affordable country cottage in the desirable Town of Olive. This weekend or full-time home could be enhanced or renovated to reflect your style and taste; at this price you can afford to create your dream cottage in the Catskills. It’s set on +/- 1.48 acres of mixed lawn with forsythia, Rose of Sharon, wild roses and perennials plus a large portion is forested with hardwoods, pines and ancient rock outcroppings. Grassy Ridge is a small road of limited traffic just perfect for a stroll or a bike ride and close to the Ashokan Reservoir. The living room has a door to an exterior screened deck great for summer relaxing plus there’s a charming and efficient woodstove which provides heat and ambiance for those cold winter nights. The kitchen has original metal cabinetry which is still functional and adds a retro vibe! There’s also a detached garage for storing your bikes, garden equipment or create a special space for crafting, a ping pong table or a hang out area! The Wishing Well is not just for decoration, it actually contains water from a natural spring! The Cottage is set with nice separation between the neighbors on both sides and nothing in your view in front of or behind it. There are lots of possibilities here, let your imagination guide you…your Catskill Mountain dream awaits!
