199 Acorn Hill Rd, Olive, NY 12461
A particular kind of character comes only with time. Built, owned, and occupied by the same person for 55 years, Camp Norma is a soulful cedar-shake cabin filled with natural light, original character, and a creative spirit that is increasingly difficult to find. Set on 2.7 acres along Acorn Hill Road, one of Olivebridge’s most special country roads, this distinctive property offers a world of its own, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Catskills.
Offering three levels and 1,765 square feet of usable living space, the home has a wonderfully unconventional layout, with distinct areas for gathering, retreating, working, and creating. An oversized two-car garage with drive-in access leads to an entry with walk-out sliders. On this level, a generously sized bedroom opens onto an attached deck and features its own en-suite bath, offering privacy and convenient outdoor access.
The second level is the home's heart, with an oversized living room, high ceilings, wood floors, a wood-burning stove, and warm woodwork throughout. A glass-enclosed sitting room brings in abundant natural light, creating a lovely place to read, work, or simply take in the surrounding landscape. The adjoining galley kitchen and dining area provide a practical setting for everyday living, while a second bedroom, full bath, laundry area, and office add flexibility and function.
Upstairs, the third level offers additional finished space ready to adapt to your needs. Envision a guest retreat, art studio, playroom, or creative workspace. With its flexible floor plan and distinct spaces across three levels, Camp Norma offers possibilities well beyond the typical cabin. An exterior shed provides additional storage.
The property is as appealing for its location as for its character. The Ashokan Rail Trail, nearby fishing spots, hiking trails, and seasonal skiing offer year-round outdoor enjoyment. Woodstock and Phoenicia are both approximately 20 minutes away, while Olive has its own community of local shops, farm stands, a grocery store, and everyday conveniences.
Camp Norma offers a rare opportunity to own a home with a genuine sense of history and place. Sun-filled, creative, and full of character, it lets you make it your own while preserving the spirit that has made it so special for more than half a century.
