634 Craigie Clair Road, Roscoe, NY, 12776 | $1,700,000

For the first time in a generation, an extraordinary legacy property along the storied Beaverkill River is now available. Once the home of the historic Beaverkill Fly Fisherman’s Club, this expansive 97. 8-acre estate boasts over 2, 300 feet of pristine river frontage—offering more than a half mile of legendary fly fishing waters. The property includes both sides of the river for a significant portion. Revered as the birthplace of fly fishing in the USA, the area has attracted anglers since the 1800s and remains a coveted destination. Multiple river access points allow anglers direct entry to the famed waters. Extending from the iconic Craigie Clair Bridge, the estate winds through a picturesque valley teeming with bald eagles, hawks, and blue herons. From dawn to dusk, the property is bathed in beautiful light. The expansive open field offers numerous possibilities, from creating a sprawling garden or sports field to establishing camping areas. Hiking and ATV trails could be developed to meander from the riverside up through the wooded areas. With its acreage, this property lends itself perfectly to a family compound. There are two prime, easily buildable locations where the existing structures currently stand, with additional potential sites offering stunning views of the river valley. A creek flows down from Amber Lake, with part of its crystal-clear waters diverted into a hand-laid bluestone reflecting pool in the front yard—an ideal spot for a sauna/cold plunge. The creek also feeds ponds both near the house and further down the field, which serve as a natural nursery for rainbow and brown trout. The current owners have architect-designed, permit-ready plans for an extensive renovation, expanding the residence to over 2, 300 square feet to maximize breathtaking views. The forested area, with its towering trees, mushrooms, and ramps in the spring, feels both magical and timeless.
