When you're ready for your dream home in the central Catskills the team at Coldwell Banker Timberland Properties will help you make that dream come true. The central Catskills is a great place to live, work, vacation or retire. The region is just 2 to 3 hours from most of the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area.

So in just a few hours you can trade crowds, noise, traffic and concrete for green woods, blue skies, crystal clear streams, soaring mountains and blissful quiet. The real beauty of the central Catskills is that you can get up close and personal to all this natural beauty.

You'll discover miles of well-marked and well-maintained hiking trails that take you deep into protected forests. You can tube, canoe, swim or fish in rivers, streams and reservoirs. In the winter you can ski, snowshoe or ride a snowmobile. Come for a day, a weekend or a week. But, once you come…you may want to stay forever.

Just follow the New York State Thruway to exit 19 Kingston and take Route 28 West. Once you get to the village of Margaretville you can pick up Routes 30, 23 and 10…plus dozens of beautiful country roads. Each turn in the road will bring you to another wonderful discovery. A charming country inn. A delightful restaurant. An antique shop full of treasures. An art gallery. A fascinating museum. A farmers market. Or a pancake breakfast at the village firehouse.
