Welcome to Aster Hill Cottage, a beloved, turnkey retreat that has inspired writers, artists, and musicians for decades. Tucked away on a forested parcel at the end of a town-maintained road, this designer's home sits on just under an acre, wooded on 3 sides and surrounded by mountain views, old growth white pines, wild perennial plantings, and a cozy field stone fire pit perfect for star-filled nights. This sunlit cottage offers wide-plank knotty pine floors throughout, 2 bedrooms, a spacious eat-in country kitchen with cherry butcher block counters and a wood stove, a sunroom, 1 bath and an outdoor shower. Recent updates include new windows, roof, gutters, french drain, chimney, a 200-amp electric panel, plumbing, hot water heater, appliances, and an encapsulated crawl space for cozy, four-season living. A brand new, DEP-approved septic system was also installed in June 2024. The property includes three outbuildings: an insulated 8x10 artist’s studio by Brad's Barns, built just three years ago and is fully outfitted with electricity, plus two older sheds with new roofs, one with electric and both are ideal for keeping your gear dry. For nature lovers, 496 acres of DEP-protected land lies just up the road, and a scenic 10-minute walk brings you to a beautiful stretch of the Delaware River with a secret swimming hole. The hip town of Margaretville is just a mile away, offering restaurants, bars, specialty shops, and grocery stores. Margaretville is also a Trailways bus route accessible from Port Authority in NYC. Whether you're searching for a weekend escape, an income producing property or a full-time country home, Aster Hill Cottage is a rare find that checks all your boxes.
