A Creekside Three-Bedroom Ranch in Big Indian
Jane Anderson | October 15, 2025
Once in a while, Upstater comes across a ranch that’s beautiful both in its setting and its design. This is one of them.
A three-bedroom ranch in Big Indian, Ulster County, the home sits amid the Catskills, and has frontage on the Esopus Creek. It’s move-in ready, with clean exterior lines, a stone-faced foundation, and a covered porch.
If you have a seasonal decorator’s eye, we bet you could come up with hundreds of ways to celebrate the seasons here on this porch. The front door is elegant, with a single sidelight.
The clean, bright look continues indoors.
A wood-burning fireplace warms the living room, which also has a polished-concrete floor (with radiant heat throughout the house) and a 12-foot ceiling. There’s an option to buy the house fully furnished at a higher cost.
The open-concept plan flows to a dining area and into the kitchen. A coat closet is handy, right next to the front door.
A U-shaped kitchen has everything you need, done up with shiny stainless-steel appliances, cherry cabinets, and black granite counters. The peninsula seats three.
The primary bedroom has five-foot-tall windows, like in the rest of the house. It’s painted a neutral dark tan tone, and has plenty of room for whatever furniture is desired.
The ensuite bath has a stone-tiled shower and a granite-topped sink.
There’s something about the simplicity of a ranch that’s soothing. Like this bedroom, for instance: There’s room to choose whatever bed configuration you want—in this case, two twins.
The hall bath has a glass-walled tub/shower with a lighter tile; granite tops this vanity, too.
A pop of poppy color fills the walls in the third bedroom. It appears to be the smallest of the three bedrooms, but there’s still plenty of room here. The house measures 1,620 square feet.
A bright mudroom/laundry room is spacious, with a closet and a work sink to boot.
The house sits on 1.22 acres…
…with a shed outbuilding.
This picture shows its proximity to the creek and those iconic Cats.
It’s under a 10-minute drive to Belleayre Mountain Ski Center from here, plus a bus to NYC is a short walk away. The house is listed at $549,000. An open house is scheduled from noon-2pm on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025.
