164 Grant Morse Road, Denver, NY 12421

There are places in the Catskills where the setting does most of the talking. Tucked deep along quiet Grant Morse Road, The Vanloan is sited across from protected DEP land, with open farmland and mountain views stretching out in every direction. The long driveway, lined with evergreens, leads to a well-loved three-bedroom, two-bath home surrounded by stone walls, a stone patio, a back deck, and a screened porch. A small creek carves its way through the grass and shrubs. The home is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath manufactured house (built in 2000) set on a poured concrete foundation, thoughtfully updated over recent years with a replacement roof, updated appliances, water heater and new flooring. The open concept living area with southern exposure and vaulted ceilings, keeps the house passively warmed, sunny, and bright. The primary suite has an oversized bathroom with a tub and shower and a shockingly giant closet. A substantial, detached stick-built garage, constructed in 2008, exemplifies a lovingly overbuilt outbuilding. Solid is more than just a reference to the concrete. Part workshop, part garage, part second floor storage, tinkerers amongst us will rate this high on the list. A new DEP approved-engineered septic system adds another layer of confidence to this carefully maintained property. The buried electric service preserves the view. And then there is the location: a particularly beautiful corridor of the Catskills, close to skiing and the art-infused charm of Roxbury, with mountains and farmland all around. Here, the only traffic you'll encounter is the occasional cow or goat that decides to wander off for a taste of the Catskills. About half the property is left wonderfully wild, with sweeping views. Subdivision potential may also exist, though buyers should conduct their own due diligence with the municipality and applicable agencies to confirm possibilities.
