Beaverkill Riverfront Estate on 120 Acres in Catskill Park
Set within the protected landscape of Catskill Park, Stonewater Pines occupies 120 acres of woodland overlooking nearly a mile of private frontage along the Beaverkill River, one of the most historically significant trout streams in the United States. The river curves quietly through the valley below the home, creating a setting defined by forest, water, and the enduring natural character of the Western Catskills.
The property is designed around its landscape. Trails wind through hemlock and hardwood forest, passing small waterfalls and a spring fed pond before descending toward the riverbank. Throughout the seasons the terrain shifts in tone, from dense green canopy in summer to the vivid foliage that defines autumn in the Catskills. Wildlife moves freely through the surrounding woods, and birdlife is abundant along the river corridor.
The residence sits elevated above the Beaverkill, positioned to frame the surrounding scenery through expansive windows and outdoor decks. Interior spaces are arranged across three levels, creating a balance between gathering areas and quieter places to retreat. The main living room centers around a fireplace, offering a comfortable setting for evenings indoors, while adjacent dining and kitchen areas are designed for shared meals after time spent outdoors. The kitchen is equipped with a Viking range and modern appliances suited to preparing meals for groups.
Four bedrooms are distributed throughout the home, each with its own character and connection to the surrounding forest. The primary suite, known as The Canopy, features a king bed, an en suite bathroom, and a private deck positioned among the trees. The Green Queen offers a queen bedroom, while The Red Lantern includes two twin beds well suited to families or friends traveling together. The Nest provides a double bedroom with its own private deck overlooking the woodland landscape. Three full bathrooms serve the home, and a seasonal outdoor shower offers a refreshing return after time spent on the trails or beside the river.
Inside, the home encourages both activity and quiet reflection. A library, board games, yoga and meditation space, and dedicated work areas allow guests to settle into the slower rhythm of the Catskills while maintaining the comforts of a well appointed retreat.
Outdoor living is central to the experience of the property. Three decks extend toward the Beaverkill River, offering places to sit among the trees or gather for meals outdoors. A fire pit creates a natural evening meeting point under the dark Catskills sky, where the absence of city light reveals a broad canopy of stars.
The Beaverkill River itself is one of the defining features of the property. Long regarded as the birthplace of American fly fishing, the river continues to attract anglers from around the world. Guests at Stonewater Pines have direct access to this historic waterway, where both novice and experienced anglers can spend time along its banks. Guides can be arranged for those wishing to explore the river more deeply.
Despite the sense of seclusion, the property remains close to the cultural life of the Western Catskills. Downtown Roscoe, known as Trout Town USA, is just five minutes away, offering local cafés, distilleries, and small restaurants. Livingston Manor, fifteen minutes from the house, provides a broader collection of markets, breweries, and dining destinations that reflect the region’s growing culinary scene.
Stonewater Pines offers a rare combination of private forest, extensive river frontage, and architectural retreat within Catskill Park. The rhythm of the Beaverkill River, the surrounding woodland, and the quiet pace of the Catskills define the experience of every stay.
