There's a certain kind of quiet you only find in the mountains - the kind that softens your pace and reminds you life can be lived with more intention. Set along Birch Creek on 1.7 acres, this nearly 4,000 sq ft property feels like a place where people come to reconnect. A place where the morning light stretches across the deck, the creek moves over the rocks, and the great room's wood-burning fireplace becomes the natural gathering point after long days outdoors. Welcome to The Gather House located at 8643 New York 28 in Big Indian. A legal multi-family retreat with rare potential for a future bed-and-breakfast in the heart of the Catskills.

What makes The Gather House truly unique is its legal two-family layout, offering both lifestyle flexibility and income-producing potential. The main residence features 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, sleeping lofts, and a spacious game room. The attached 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment can operate independently or open seamlessly to the main home ideal for multi-generational living, long-term rental income, or a turnkey foundation for a bed-and-breakfast concept. With room to host up to 20 guests, the scale and configuration already lend themselves to hospitality.

And for outdoor enthusiasts, the location is exceptional with just minutes to Belleayre Mountain for skiing, snowboarding, and summer events, and within easy reach of Hunter Mountain, one of the region's most iconic four-season destinations. Trailheads, swimming holes, and year-round attractions are all close by, making this an ideal base for guests seeking adventure.

A detached structure, equipped with electric, plumbing, and septic hook up, is ready for its next chapter. Whether envisioned as a guest cottage, studio, workshop, or an additional income unit, the infrastructure is already in place. For those seeking even more land or expansion possibilities, the neighboring vacant parcel may also be available.

With ample parking, easy access along Route 28, and a setting shaped by nature and seasons, The Gather House offers a compelling blend of charm, convenience, and opportunity. Whether it be your home away from home, a retreat, an income property, or the beginnings of a Catskills bed-and-breakfast - this place is ready to welcome and inspire you.
