Property Description
The Historic Bavarian Manor -- A Remarkable Catskills Four-Season Destination Well known as the Bavarian Manor since 1931, this historic mid-1800s Victorian property presents a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive Catskills hospitality destination. Set on more than 100 acres, the property combines a historic hotel, restaurant and bar, residential accommodations, additional apartment-style lodging, recreational amenities, and significant potential for future expansion. The Manor features 18 hotel rooms, each with its own private bathroom and refrigerator. Several rooms offer additional amenities including propane fireplaces and jacuzzi tubs. The fourth floor provides an opportunity for renovation and could potentially be converted into additional guest rooms or other usable space. The property is also equipped with solar panels. The property also features an established restaurant and bar, providing an important amenity for both overnight guests and the surrounding community. The bar area can accommodate approximately 36 guests, while the spacious dining room seats approximately 120. An additional 100 guests can be accommodated outdoors on the large wraparound deck, creating an exceptional setting for summer dining, events, and entertaining. Connected to the side of the Manor is a five-bedroom residence, offering convenient on-site living quarters for an owner, manager, or staff. The expansive grounds include more than 100 acres of trails and recreational land, with opportunities for hiking, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. A beautiful three-acre lake provides an idyllic setting for fishing, canoeing, or simply relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings. Adding even more versatility are three chalet-style apartment buildings, formerly operated as a motel. Together, these buildings contain 16 apartments, each with views of the lake. One of the chalet buildings also offers the potential to redevelop its lower level, formerly used as a disco/nightclub, creating another opportunity for additional amenities, entertainment space, or future use. Ideally located near Hunter and Windham ski resorts, as well as golf, hiking, and other Catskills attractions, the property is positioned to attract visitors throughout all four seasons. Fall brings spectacular foliage and leaf-peeping tourism, while winter offers skiing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. Spring and summer provide opportunities for hiking, fishing, canoeing, golf, outdoor dining, and enjoying the property's beautiful lake and grounds. The Bavarian Manor is much more than a historic hotel--it is a complete hospitality destination with an established name dating back nearly a century, multiple lodging components, a restaurant and bar, extensive acreage, recreational amenities, and substantial potential for expansion and redevelopment. A rare opportunity for an investor, hospitality operator, or visionary buyer to build upon an iconic Catskills property and create an exceptional four-season destination.
