Welcome to an extraordinary Catskills retreat offering space, privacy, and untapped potential on 165.5 surveyed acres in the Town of Roxbury, just minutes from the four-season Plattekill Mountain Ski Resort. Formerly home to the Manhattan Country School Farm, this unique compound combines the charm of an historic Catskills homestead with the infrastructure of a private campus or farm retreat. At the center of the property is an 8-bedroom Old Style farmhouse built circa 1900, with finished living space across 2.5 stories. Multiple accessory structures are situated throughout the property, including early 1900s barns, a greenhouse, a machine shed, stone house open and covered porches, and additional outbuildings—each offering restoration potential and flexible usage. The parcel offers an ideal footprint for creating a self-sufficient compound, agricultural retreat, artist residency, or large-scale country estate. The land is rural and gently rolling, desirable for farming, trails, privacy, and conservation. Zoning and historical use suggest continued agricultural or residential development options, with the added benefit of educational or retreat-based potential. The location is a true gem—just 3.5 miles from Plattekill Mountain for skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and year-round events. The hamlet of Roxbury offers cultural heritage, farm markets, dining, and services, while nearby hiking, fishing, and hunting opportunities complete the lifestyle. With 160+ acres, multiple structures, and an unmatched Catskills setting, this is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property that can be as simple or as ambitious as you wish. Whether you envision it as a multigenerational residence, a luxury country estate, a nature retreat, or simply a peaceful homestead, the groundwork has already been laid. Properties of this scale and versatility rarely come to market in this region. The possibilities here are as expansive as the land itself—don’t miss the chance to shape your own vision in one of the Catskills’ most scenic and storied locations.
