The House on the Batavia This is not just a Catskills house with a stream nearby. This is a house where the stream is exactly what you've been dreaming about. Set directly along the Batavia Kill, this circa-1910 Catskills farmhouse has it all: rushing water, mature trees, an elevated deck suspended above the landscape, and even a handmade treehouse. Yes, it's technically for kids, but adults are going to want to read, nap and hang out there too. The three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home has the simple, welcoming feel of an old country house updated for modern life. A huge wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors and overlooks the wooded landscape below - just the spot for long dinners, morning coffee, cocktails. Down by the water, the property becomes something magical. The Batavia Kill runs along the land with broad, rock-lined banks, sending the sound of moving water throughout the property. Two fire pits turn days by the creek into long evenings outside....
