The Brookie: Roscoe, NY

House for sale in Roscoe, NY: Beaverkill River

About The Property

Rare and coveted, the Brookie is the fly fisherman’s prize. A cabin across the street from fishing access for under $200k - that’s a rare prize as well. Just this once, catch but don’t release!

Seated across the road from the banks of the Beaverkill River in Roscoe, AKA Trout Town USA, the Brookie is a cozy two bedroom, one bathroom home. The open living area has plenty of space for a dedicated kitchen dining room and living area. Two bedrooms open to the living room, and the large bathroom has a washer and dryer.

The cabin, built in 1975 is spacious enough to entertain, but small enough to be the perfect weekend escape or rental, with minimal maintenance and upkeep costs. Relax on the spacious covered front porch, or cook out on the back deck. The lot is flat and park-like, with mature perennials and privacy hedges on both sides. Elk Brook Road is a dead end road, with fishing access along the Beaverkill, and the river cuts a dramatic valley through the mountains, visible from the property.

In addition to the home, there is a storage shed and a workshop on the property. The workshop is built on a concrete slab with 30 amp electric service, lighting and a propane fueled forge. It has been used as a knife making studio, and an intrepid craftsperson may inquire about purchasing the contents. If that’s not your forte, enjoy a game room, art studio, or workshop for your chosen craft in this additional structure.

Just steps across the quiet dead-end road, lies one of the region's most storied trout rivers. The picturesque Beaverkill is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, teeming with brook, rainbow, and brown trout, which in turn attract abundant birdlife, including herons and eagles. Whether you're a fisherman or not, the river is an integral part of The Brookie experience.

Roscoe features a vibrant main street just 12 minutes drive from the home. Dine at the popular Junction, or grab drinks at Do Good Spirits just down the street. Grizzly Bagels is coming soon to the neighborhood, and if those options aren’t enough for you, take a short jaunt to Livingston Manor for more dining, drinks and shopping. Don’t forget to stock up on fishing gear on your way out, the Beaverkill Angler will have you outfitted for success in this outdoors paradise.
