Scandinavian design, surrounded by endless skies, offering a vantage point that makes guest feel like they're "floating in the trees..."
THE SPACE
Sitting 1,750 feet above sea level, this three level home provides separate sleeping quarters on each floor, each with private full bath. Entry and baths have radiant heat. Fully renovated top to bottom with no expense spared and state of the art heating & cooling.
Select amenities include Malm wood burning fireplace, high end Chef's kitchen, two unique triangle decks that feel like you are floating amongst the trees, outdoor dining table for 10, Weber grill, outdoor furniture and hanging swing chairs, huge fire pit featuring the Cowboy Cauldron and 8 Adirondack chairs, new spa area deck with Bullfrog Still 7 ($20K+ hot tub). Imagine soaking in the hot tub while looking at the peak of Hunter Mountain on one side and Windham Mountain on the other!
Upstairs level has one King room overlooking the peak of Hunter Mountain (you can even see the ski plows at night!) and one Queen room overlooking the entire mountain range, Windham mountain and the lake. Full bath with small soaking tub.
Main level features comfortable living room, dining room, fireplace, open kitchen, Queen sized bedroom and lavish full bath with river rock shower. Oversized picture frame windows capture the outside, like a perpetual mural that changes by the season. Access to the impressive triangle deck that is almost 50' above the ground with outdoor lounge, dining and hang out areas.
Lower level features walkout with private triangle deck and 4 swinging chairs with access to the spa level featuring the Bullfrog STIL 7 6 capacity hot tub. Another living space, wet bar/game area, Queen room and second bedroom with twin beds and full bath complete the package.
We are one of the only properties on the mountain to have almost an acre of property with plenty of space to hang inside or out, walking distance to the ski slopes and lodge.
GUEST ACCESS
Everything except one locked closet and one locked area in outdoor shed. Guests can use front part of shed for ski storage.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Smart TV's in all bedrooms and each living room. Super fast 1 gig wifi. Tesla charging station. Plenty of wood for fires. Additional ski storage in shed.
The entire home is nicely appointed, therefore, we ask you treat our house as if it was your own.

About the host
Hosted by Adam Blankfort
Hello, I am Adam, a real estate agent & marketing guru, most people refer to me as "Ask Adam." My family owns 5 real estate office in NY & NJ that have been in business for 45 years. I am a boater, amateur skier and proud husky owner. I am excited to have our guests experience my two favorite destinations outside of NYC: the North Fork of Long Island and Hunter Mountain, where we own two incredible rental properties and can provide every resource you need to have the true “local” experience in a luxurious way. Originally from Nyack, NY, we came to the North Fork years ago by boat, and fell in love with the magical beaches, clean bay water, the most amazing restaurants and the 50+ wine vineyards and organic farm stands! We lived on the boat each summer and never wanted to leave, so we build our own house here and just renovated this beautiful beach cottage for you to enjoy... During COVID, I was looking at real estate in Hunter with some friends and found the most one of a kind contemporary house, a true diamond in the rough, with the most spectacular views of the peak of Hunter Mountain, Windham Mountain, a short walk to the slopes. We packed every amenity possible in this unique space after a painstaking 2 year renovation that truly makes you feel like you are living amongst the trees and mountaintops...
Why they chose this property
