2383 State Route 97 Pond Eddy, NY 12770

If you’ve ever driven in to southern Sullivan county along route 97, you know just how beautiful and wild this stretch of the Delaware river is. Moon River represents a rare opportunity to make a slice of that paradise your very own. With nearly 250’ of private river frontage, 1.65 acres of level, park-like land, and a character-rich, 3 bedroom home to boot, Moon River is a chance to get your hands on something special. Entering the home through the large, sun drenched 3 season room you enter directly in to the classic country kitchen. Vintage flair abounds, and the river views never get old. Directly off the kitchen is the downstairs’ half bath. While fully functional and charming, the kitchen and half-bath certainly represent an opportunity to customize the home to your specific tastes as they are the oldest part of the home. Adjacent to the kitchen, you’ll enter a light and sunny den/family room. Ample (new) windows keep the space fresh and bright, while the original wood floors throughout the entire home lend the character we are always looking for. The white-walled den is the perfect counterpoint to the cozy and warm dining and living room centered around a brick-ensconced wood-burning fireplace. You can certainly imagine Fall evenings in front of the fire sipping on a negroni (or whatever your drink of choice.) A small mud room adjoins off this space and leads to the front yard of the home - a less used entrance point to the home, but useful nonetheless with some storage. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms - all fairly similar in scale. King or queen beds would work just fine - and all rooms feature a closet. A completely renovated full bathroom is shared among the bedrooms. While the house is a winner in its own right - the star of the show is certainly the property itself. It is rare to find this level of privacy, and this degree of usability on a riverfront parcel. The land is open, and quite level - you could easily add gardens, a pool, a tennis court - whatever your lifestyle demands. There is also a large garage/barn that could continue to serve admirably as a storage space - or with a little vision could be converted to a special studio space or guest lodging. The hand-hewn beams are begging for some new life. This barn was actually an original mule barn for the old D&H Canal and you can see the history when you step inside. Beyond the built-in smokeless Breeo fire pit, there are stairs leading down to the river’s edge. This is a truly spectacular stretch of river with no homes in sight across the water, and long range views in both directions. Launch a canoe, tie off a floatie, watch the eagles, cast a line… whatever you like to do, you won’t find a much better spot than this to do it. Moon River is only five minutes from downtown Barryville with its growing list of wonderful small businesses like River’s Edge, Stickett Inn, Barryville Oasis, Cottage Wines, and Rivertown Sound. Port Jervis and Matamoras, PA are less than 20 minutes away with their myriad services and creature comforts, along with train access to NYC. All that and barely 90 minutes to the GWB, Moon River is perfectly placed to be an easy and special escape. Don’t miss this one. Reach out for more information.
