Mountain Cottage: Arkville, NY

About The Property

Nestled at the edge of the woods overlooking a picturesque Catskills tableau of meadow and mountains, Mountain Cottage is not only a pleasing 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home, but an incredible investment property. Only 3.5 miles from Belleayre Ski Mountain and Belleayre Beach, it generated $49,000 in rental income in 2022 with very low overhead*, making this property a worthy contender whether it’s for your own use or as a source of income. (*See downloadable Listing Details sheet on this page for further information.)

The cottage, which is manufactured housing, is the last building along a brief dead end road in a very pretty and very quiet area. The spacious deck runs along the entire front of the house, offering spots for grilling and dining, another for lounging, and then a final spot for hanging in the hot tub, yet another attraction for the aprés ski crowd — and most everyone else. Just steps from the deck, the fire pit enjoys killer views straight ahead, and down the valley, offering another key experience for owner or renter alike.

The hamlet of Arkville is just a mile and a half from Margaretville, and 15 minutes to scenic Roxbury.

Inside, the cottage offers a warm welcome. The living room is an inviting space with a picture window that perfectly frames the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The pellet stove adds a touch of “cabin-in-the-woods” charm while supplying supplementary heat in winter. The kitchen is equipped with all the key features for hassle-free meal prep, while the adjacent dining area provides a handy dedicated space for family and friends to gather.

The primary suite is includes a spacious bedroom and a bathroom that features a tub and shower combination, while the two additional bedrooms are equally inviting, with plenty of natural light. The second bathroom also includes a tub/shower.

Tucked into the rear of the house by the back door is a handy laundry room.

With stunning views and a peaceful setting, it's no wonder this successful rental property is a favorite among skiers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
