About The Property

Welcome to Blue Sky Cottage, a stylish, turnkey home perched atop Shandelee Mountain. Just minutes from the welcoming Western Catskills downtown of Livingston Manor, NY, this popular 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Set on 2.5 acres, the property boasts a brand-new, steaming hot tub—ideal for cooler, starlit nights in the mountains.

Step out your back door and discover direct access to the fabulous trails winding through the fields behind the nearby Arnold House. Beyond the trails, you'll also enjoy easy access to the Arnold House's pool with convenient day passes, offering all the enjoyment without the upkeep of your own.

Enter through the front door into a delightfully airy open-concept living space with crisp, white walls with hardwood floors throughout. The spacious living room flows effortlessly into the updated kitchen and on into the dining room. A sliding glass door beckons you outdoors to linger on the nicely sized, east-facing deck, where you'll be treated to breathtaking sunrises year-round, set against long views of fields and mountains.

Back inside, the living room is generous enough for two couches and is anchored by a stately, painted brick wood-burning fireplace. A charming bay window overlooks the front yard. The kitchen has been updated with butcher block countertops and stainless-steel appliances. A handy counter along the far edge provides ample space for appliances and another comfortable gathering spot. The adjacent dining room is perfect for evenings shared with friends. From here, you can access the unfinished basement or step out to a covered outdoor dining area.

Down a short hallway off the entryway, you'll also find three comfortable bedrooms. The primary bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, while the second bathroom is shared between the other two bedrooms.

Between 2019 and 2020, Blue Sky Cottage received significant updates, including renovations to the kitchen, bathrooms, siding, roof, and floors. In 2024, the entire interior was painted, the septic leach field was replaced, hot tub with upgraded electric and smart Nest thermostats were added for modern comfort.

Outside, a two-car garage provides ample storage for vehicles, bikes, kayaks, and more.

Blue Sky Cottage has been a successful short-term rental since 2019 for both previous and current owners, making it a highly desirable option for visitors. However, with its central location and easy access to the amenities of Livingston Manor, Roscoe, and Jeffersonville, this home would also make a wonderful weekend escape or full-time residence. The Catskills Park is just minutes away for endless outdoor adventures.

In addition to the Arnold House pool, you'll find their cozy tavern and greenhouse within walking distance.
