Property Description
Welcome to The Gather House located at 8643 New York 28 in Big Indian - a Four-Season Mountain Retreat in the Heart of the Catskills. There's a certain kind of quiet you only find in the Catskills - the kind that settles in your shoulders, slows your breathing, and reminds you that life can be simpler, softer, more intentional. As Route 28 winds through the valley, the mountains rise around you like old friends, and the Esopus Creek flashes between the trees. By the time you reach Big Indian, you're already somewhere else entirely. Tucked along the water's edge on 1.7 acres, this nearly 4,000 sq ft retreat feels less like a house and more like a place where stories take root. Morning sunlight filters through the windows and spills across the deck. The creek moves over the rocks while the sounds of wildlife layer into a natural harmony - a melody that will linger in your heart long after you leave. Inside, a large wood-burning fireplace anchors the great room creating the kind of hearth that pulls everyone together after long days on the mountain. Life here has its own rhythm. It's where you know all the farmers market locations, where the best swimming holes are tucked between boulders, and which trailheads catch the first light. Adventure is always close, but so are the moments of stillness; and that balance is what makes The Gather House so special. With space to host up to 20 guests, the home adapts to whatever your life calls for. The layout offers two distinct yet connected living spaces: A main residence with 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, sleeping lofts, and a game room/loft where late-night card games and laughter tend to stretch longer than planned. A private 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment that can stand alone or open seamlessly to the main home through a shared interior door located off the laundry room. Open it up for one expansive retreat or close it for privacy and flexibility. It's a rare setup that works equally well for personal use or a multi-family income property (zoned as a legal 2-family). A detached second structure, already equipped with electric, plumbing, and septic, stands ready for its next chapter. A guest cottage, studio, workshop, or additional income unit - the infrastructure is in place for your vision to unfold. And for those who want even more yard space or an additional build site, the neighboring vacant parcel could be available for purchase. With ample parking, easy access along Route 28, and proximity to some of the region's most iconic destinations, The Gather House provides a true charm to Catskills living. Rooted in nature, shaped by seasons, and ready for you to call home.
