Hidden Hollow: Hancock, NY

Living room: House for sale in Hancock NY

About The Property

Nestled in a verdant Catskills valley, Hidden Hollow has a truly unique collection of desirable features for anyone in pursuit of their own mountain escape. The package includes 12+ acres of seclusion (read: not a neighbor in sight), the ever-present hush of Tar Hollow Creek running right through the middle of your property, an open and airy 2500 square foot home, and one of the largest decks you’ll ever lay eyes on. A compelling primary, secondary or investment home, Hidden Hollow is ready to share its slice of paradise with new owners.

Turning off dead-end Tar Hollow Road and down your driveway, you’re immediately greeted by the sight of Tar Hollow Creek and can feel your troubles melt away. Enter the house off of the wrap-around, 1,500+ SF deck, and in to the loft-like kitchen, dining and living space. Afternoon sunshine lights this room up through the floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the bluestone fireplace. When not enjoying your deck and your land, this is a pretty pleasant place to hang out.

The kitchen features stainless appliances and open shelving - stylish complements to a simple and functional layout. Additional closets in the adjacent hallway would make for an easy pantry.

On the far side of the house are three of the four bedrooms. All feature generous closets, and enough square footage for king or queen beds. The primary bedroom also enjoys a full en-suite bathroom. At the far end of the hallway is the shared full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

Up the stairs you’ll find a wide-open bonus space. Currently in use as overflow living space, this room could really take on any use you need it for. Flexibility is always an asset with houses, and this space provides just that. A third full bathroom (split in to two rooms) and the fourth and final bedroom round out the upstairs. All this extra space really stretches this house in to one meant for large family or friend gatherings, with plenty of room for all. Nice to have that when the property is one you’ll want to share with everyone!

Back outside, there are myriad opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The deck is extraordinary in scale, built around a mature maple tree that provides shade in the summer months, and with more square footage than lots of cabins in these parts. The deck wraps around both sides of the home with several covered sections, and leads to an attached, unfinished storage room on the south side of the home.

The level yard provides lots of opportunity for activity, with a gazebo and fire pit set on the banks of Tar Hollow Creek. The land extends on both sides of the creek for ultimate privacy, and even features a second clearing and potential driveway if you wanted to add a little stream side glamping site for example! Potential abounds everywhere at Hidden Hollow.

While truly hidden away, Hidden Hollow is less than 10 minutes from Main St. Hancock with its shops, supermarket, and services - and the buzzing Roscoe and Livingston Manor are only 15 and 25 minutes back down Route 17 respectively. A unique house and a unique opportunity - don’t let this one get away.
