Longview Cabin: Hankins, NY

About The Property

Longview Cabin has the “IT” factor, although that is of course a subjective statement. The property is just over an acre, but the setting is dynamic and dramatic. Nestled under high tree canopy on a lush swath of level lawn at the end of a dead end road, the scenic view from one side of the property is just magic, extending over a neighboring meadow and out to distant rolling hills. It can be savored while sitting around the landscaped fire pit, through a picture window in the living room and through the glass sliding doors in the dining room. It envelops you in the peaceful, rural, country vibes so many of us seek in a Catskills home.

And then there is the house itself, originally built in 1975, and then extended in 2008, there is an easy flow between spaces. Starting with a welcoming living room, it is warmed by pine paneling on the cathedral ceiling and some walls, with the added texture of stone hearth surrounding the wood stove.

The galley kitchen has granite counters and a soapstone farmhouse sink, and is open to the perfectly proportioned dining alcove. Wrapped in wainscoting, the slider frames the magnificent view, and opens onto a side deck and down to the fire pit.

Next the private rooms. The master suite comfortably accommodates a king bed, and has its own bathroom with a clawfoot tub/shower. Glass sliders lead out to a private back deck where dappled sunlight brings the woods to life.

The first guest bedroom also easily handles a king bed, and has an office alcove with window, perfect for #wfh. The second full bathroom, this with a walk-in shower, is off the hall, while the third bedroom is accessed via a staircase that is in the guest bedroom. Formerly attic space that was converted, this long room functions as a TV room as capably as another bedroom, or whatever hybrid works for your lifestyle. Two dormer windows plus windows in both gables and 3 skylights provide natural light and character.

Just over ten minutes to Callicoon and the myriad activities along the Delaware River, Longview Cabin will tick the boxes for those seeking a bucolic, tranquil setting for a low maintenance home and property, conveniently located for enjoying the area’s many shops, eateries and attractions.
