184 Mahl's Pond Road

184 Mahl's Pond Road is a newly built house on 5.29 acres, set back from the road five minutes from Narrowsburg. The plan turns on one room: a great room under a ceiling that reaches 24 feet, with east-facing glass so the first light comes straight in across the floor. The open kitchen anchors the main floor, an island at the center with quartz counters and new appliances, and the dining area seats eight or more.

Two bedrooms sit down a private hallway behind the kitchen, each with windows on two sides, sharing a bath with a soaking tub, a glass walk-in shower and a double vanity. Upstairs, barn doors open from the landing into the primary suite, roughly 19 by 21 feet, with a walk-in closet and a second double-vanity bath with an oversized tiled shower.

A covered carport connects directly to the house, and inside, a mudroom floored in bluestone tile with two coat closets. The house draws on a drilled well and runs on a heat pump.

A few minutes' walk away is the land that gives the road its quiet. The Ten Mile River Scout Camps were assembled in 1927 from thirty-two farms and parcels, roughly 10,000 acres bought for the city's Boy Scouts by a foundation Franklin D. Roosevelt had organized. In 2022 The Conservation Fund began buying most of it from the Greater New York Councils, nearly 6,100 acres so far, with the stated plan of working with the state DEC toward permanent protection and the expectation that it eventually becomes New York state forest: some 60 miles of trails, 18 miles of streams and three miles of Upper Delaware frontage. The Scouts keep their summer camps.
