Architect-Designed Catskills Retreat on 5 Private Acres - Mountain Views - 15 Min to Hunter Mountain
Discover a rare contemporary hideaway designed by an architect to immerse you in nature while offering every modern comfort. Set on 5 secluded acres with forest, mountain views, and complete privacy, this 3BR, 2.5BA Catskills retreat is the perfect escape for ski adventures, family getaways, creative inspiration, or peaceful relaxation.
Floor-to-ceiling glass windows frame the surrounding landscape in every season, snow-covered evergreens in winter, bright green forest in spring and summer, and colorful foliage in fall. Warm lighting, radiant heat, a wood-burning fireplace, and natural materials create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and deeply comforting.

About Your Host
I’m Gabriel, an architect who designed and built this home as a personal sanctuary in the Catskills. After years designing luxury projects, I wanted to create a retreat that blends nature, comfort, and modern design. We recently relaunched the home under our own management after a year with a property company, so the listing is new, but the quality is exceptional. I’m grateful for every guest who becomes part of the home’s story.
