New in EB Real Estate: Beaver Brook in Barryville, NY 🌲

4 BR/3BA main house | 50+ acres | Treehouse, screened sleeping cabin, wood-fired sauna + riverside hot tub | Suspension bridge over the spring-fed Beaver Brook



For anyone who has spent time daydreaming through the pages of “Cabin P**n,” Beaver Brook may feel surprisingly familiar.

Hidden on more than 50 acres in the western Catskills, this remarkable woodland compound is home to Scott’s Cabin — the beloved retreat that helped inspire a movement of design-minded cabin living — made famous on the cover of the book Cabin P**n.

But Beaver Brook is far more than a single iconic cabin. Centered around a spring-fed brook, the property unfolds as a collection of thoughtfully designed spaces connected by winding forest paths, swimming holes, and a suspension bridge spanning the water below.

At its heart is the Bunk House, a one-of-a-kind timber-frame 4BR/3BA home built around the salvaged frame of a 19th-century New England barn. Elsewhere on the property, an architect-designed treehouse floats among the evergreens, while a screened sleeping cabin offers the nostalgia of summer camp tucked into the woods.

A wood-fired sauna overlooks the brook through an oversized picture window, while a riverside hot tub sits tucked between mossy banks and the surrounding forest. Together, the structures feel less like a collection of buildings and more like a private wilderness retreat designed for gathering, exploration, and slowing down.

Located just minutes from Barryville, Eldred, and Narrowsburg in the heart of the Delaware Valley, two hours from NYC.

🏡 Asking $2,450,000. Full listing + local guide at the link in bio. 🔗

New in EB Real Estate: Casa de Campo Hudson Valley in Ancram, NY ✨
2 beds | 1 bath | bunk room + den with Murphy bed | architectural long-term rental | $5,500/month | 25 min to Hudson



Set on a quiet hillside overlooking open farmland and distant ridgelines, Casa de Campo Hudson Valley is a minimalist retreat designed around light, landscape, and simplicity. Constructed from pre-cast concrete and positioned to maximize its views, the home feels both grounded in its surroundings and distinctly modern.

Inside, polished concrete floors, warm oak millwork, and 12.5-foot ceilings create a calm, cohesive interior. Continuous walls of glass pull the landscape inward, while the integrated kitchen disappears into custom cabinetry, allowing the living space to read as a single, uninterrupted volume.

Two bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the home, complemented by a built-in bunk room and separate den with Murphy bed. A walk-in shower positioned beside a full-height window overlooks the surrounding woods, continuing the home’s strong connection to nature.

Outside, a broad concrete terrace runs the length of the façade, offering sweeping views across fields and rolling hills. Though remarkably private, the property is just minutes from Millerton, 25 minutes to Hudson and Amtrak service, and within easy reach of Great Barrington, Lenox, and Catamount Mountain Resort.

🏡 Offered as a long-term rental (unfurnished) for $5,500/month. Full listing + local guide at the link in bio. 🔗
