The owners designed and built our home with an abundant amount of care and attention to detail -- both inside the house and with the connection to the 10.5 acres that it sits within -- allowing for a serene environment one retreats to when looking for the perfect getaway in the Catskills. Our home is conveniently located 45 mins to Hunter, Belleayre and Windham ski resorts and 100 miles North of New York City. This spacious, 4000 square foot house is a stunning, high-end, three-story post and beam Douglas Fir home that is rustic and elegant with a blend of different styles - modern, old, eclectic and luxurious. The nautical pieces and theme throughout the home are testimony of the owners love of the ocean and their world travels, spanning over 30 years. This is the perfect home for family/friend’s getaways, reunions, and/or special gatherings.
The natural elements of wood, stone and steel are incorporated both inside and outside the home. Other architectural features include cedar siding, stone walls, and custom -made steel railings, which were made by a local artisan who created a tree sculpture within the rail.
This airy, bright home dominated by the vaulted ceilings and multiple French doors & windows has a sense of openness with great sun exposure, mountain views and sightings of the local birds and wildlife.
The three levels of this home offer numerous relaxation areas for reading, playing games, meditation, yoga and napping.
