Dunraven — a beautifully preserved c.1923 American Craftsman — now rests along the tranquil eastern inlet of the Pepacton Reservoir, in the heart of the Catskills. Originally located in the lost hamlet of Arena, this 1.24-acre property is surrounded by thousands of acres of protected “forever wild” NYC land, with direct access to pristine wilderness, including hiking, fishing, and kayaking. The Plattekill and Eastern Branches of the Delaware River converge just beyond the property. The 1, 534 sq ft home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, including a first-floor bedroom and bath. Period details include original woodwork, built-in bookcases, a window seat, wide plank flooring, and some original Arts and Crafts light fixtures. The updated kitchen features KitchenAid stainless appliances, electric cooktop and oven, and a clever walk-in pantry in classic Craftsman style. A gas stove warms the open-concept living area, while new state-of-the-art Pella windows invite in natural light. Enjoy a large covered front porch with tapered columns, a walk-out lower level with potential for studio or office space, and a rear canopy for outdoor entertaining. New Trex decking (2021). Located between the charming towns of Andes and Margaretville — just 2.5 hours from the GWB — Dunraven is a timeless retreat where history, craftsmanship, and nature meet.
