Property Description
137 Kennedy Lane, East Durham, NY · 3 BD / 2 BA · 3,600 sqft · 20 acres · Greene County
Some properties are built. This one was made. Privately set at the end of a quiet dead-end lane, this custom built douglas fir log home sits on 20 acres of classic Catskills land with 600 feet of direct frontage on the Catskill Creek - your own stretch of water, completely secluded. Hydrangea bushes, white pines, and a Zen rock garden lead you to the entrance. Inside, the home rewards you immediately: an open floor plan with vaulted, beamed ceilings; Brazilian chestnut hardwood floors; and an abundance of windows that frame picturesque views of nature in every direction.
The kitchen is fully equipped with soapstone counters and sinks, a butcher block island, and an eating nook that overlooks the landscaped lawn and tree line, with hints of mountain ridges in the distance. Both the living room and dining room open through oversized sliding glass doors to their own covered porches - one for morning, one for evening. The living room centers on a Finnish Tulikivi wood-burning stove: lit for just two hours, it stores enough radiant heat to keep the entire house warm for a full day. On the main level, two guest bedrooms share a full bath. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a sitting area, en suite bath, and a generous dressing room with ample closet space.
Below grade, the property reveals its true scale. The semi-finished lower level adds approximately 1,000 square feet of exceptional living space; a proper media room, a dedicated home office, and a gym, all beneath soaring 11-foot ceilings and warmed by a radiant slab heating system on its own independent zone.
Outside, the property continues to surprise. Across the lawn sits a spray foam-insulated, three-bay propane-heated garage with insulated glass doors, running water, and a Level 2 EV charging station, connected to a window-lined artist studio and office with its own Vermont Castings stove and an unfinished, insulated upper level. A newly built 45×50 board-and-batten barn with a metal roof, grand covered porch, and 200-amp service is ready for a multitude of uses. This is complemented by a four-season greenhouse with propane heat, water, electricity, and its own wood stove and three-stall run-in barn for horses, equipment, or firewood.
Then there is the land itself. A substantial portion has been recently cleared to reveal a flat, sun-drenched expanse, already served by power and water, situated between the greenhouse and barn. The possibilities are immediate and real: a pool and pool house, a paddock, a kitchen garden of serious ambition, a soccer practice field, a tennis or pickleball court. The groundwork is done. Bring your vision.
The property is completely turnkey: a new standing seam metal roof, new furnace, and a whole-property generator mean nothing has been left to chance. Radiant heat and central air runs throughout. This is a compound built to be lived in seriously, not just admired.
The Windham Mountain Club is minutes away. The cultural towns of Catskill and Hudson, with restaurants, galleries, boutiques and Amtrak are to the east. To the west lies the historic Schoharie Valley (breadbasket of the American Revolution) full of farm stands, antiques and history that will satisfy the most discerning foodie. Yet from the house itself, the creek, and the clearing looking back toward the tree line, you'd never know any of it was there. That balance, true seclusion, genuine accessibility, is rarer than it sounds in the Catskills, and nearly impossible to manufacture.
Whether you're an artist seeking a creative compound, a family looking for room to truly spread out, a creator, a gardener, or simply someone who has always wanted land that feels unmistakably like yours then 137 Kennedy Lane is a rare and singular find.
