Located in the heart of Hamden, you’re surrounded by the charm that makes the western Catskills so beloved: hiking, Delaware River, historic covered bridge, vintage baseball team, and the welcoming Hamden Inn, a favorite gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. This is more than a home—it’s an 18-acre Catskills lifestyle, where views, land, and thoughtful design come together in perfect harmony. A place to unplug, to gather, and to experience the quiet magic of upstate New York.
