Why the Owner Chose Windham
Windham - (the Hamlet of Maplecrest is in the town of Windham) is the ideal year round getaway from NYC. In the winter, Windham - and Hunter nearby - offer the best skiing in NY State short of Lake Placid, which is very far. And Windham Mountain is an unbelievably well run place, constantly evolving with more offerings, and everything about it is top notch. Spring, Summer and Fall offer each their own glories, including but limited to abundant golf options, endless hiking, biking, mountain biking, fishing, horseback riding, gardening, antique hunting, flea markets, several lakes for swimming & boating - and there are creeks and other magical watering holes - and the summer also offers a calendar filled of cultural events, day and night. There's much to discover and uncover in the Catskills, with little to no commercial aggressiveness.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The view, the view, the view...and a giant deck to hang out on and suck it in. Adjacent to forests, in the spring, summer and fall, when you are quiet at the house it's like being in an aviary. The house is great for entertaining, and I've done tons of that! I also golf, ski, hike and swim a lot. CD Lane Park, a town park and lake feed by a large stream, is a mile from the house. We walk, ride or drive and hang out there. And Sugar Maples, an active arts colony, is also right there, at the bottom of the hill.

Owner's Map of Windham
A crazed entrepreneur from NYC, who grew up mostly in Florida, I built my house in 1987. It's kind of like a beach house in the mountains, in many ways. I needed the sun, the light, the land, the trees and the views. A photographer and painter both educationally and in my downtime, I needed to create a haven for renewal of my soul and spirit, which this house, and its environs offers, just 2 1/2 to 3 hours from the city. Many friends followed me up to the mountaintop, and bought or built, and I've ended up with rich community up there...including many fellows at Windham Mountain, where my family and I ski. I love it so much upstate that I've moved now to the Hudson Valley (my husband commutes to the city), and I'm now renting out my house to other fellow seekers of refuge, because I love the place, have put my soul into the shaping the land, my children grew up escaping into nature there and we are just not ready to give it up. We'd rather share the good karma of the house with good guests, who will benefit in return.
