Description

Privately set at the end of a dead end street sits this Custom Built Douglas Fir Log Home with 600 feet of direct access to Catskill Creek on 20 acres of classic country land. Built by the current owners, this property is a labor of love. Hydrangea bushes, white pines and a Zen rock garden lead you to the entrance of this secluded oasis. Inside, the home boasts an open floor plan with high, vaulted, beamed ceilings; Brazilian chestnut wood floors and an abundance of windows framing picturesque views of nature. The kitchen is fully equipped with soapstone counters & sinks, a butcher block island and an eating nook that overlooks a landscaped lawn embraced by trees, with hints of mountain tops in the distance. Both the living room and dining room have oversized sliding glass doors that lead out to their own covered porches. The living room holds a Finnish Tulikivi wood-burning stove which, when lit for 2 hours, stores enough heat to keep the house warm for 24 hours. On the main level there are two guest bedrooms and a full bath. Upstairs is the Primary suite with sitting area, en suite bath and dressing area w/closet space. The basement, with 10ft high ceilings, is unfinished but has great potential to be extra living space, gym, entertainment room, etc. Across the lawn is a spray foam insulated 3-bay propane heated garage with insulated glass doors, running water and Level 2 Electric Charging station that also incorporates a window-lined artist studio/office with Vermont Casting stove & an unfinished second level for storage. Also on the property is a newly built 45x50 board & batten barn with metal roof, covered porch & 200 AMP service. This is perfect for more garage/storage space, a workshop or conversion into an event space. If you have a green thumb, you'll love the greenhouse with its own propane heat, water & electric and wood stove. Lastly, there is a 3 stall run-in barn offering space for equipment, animals or firewood storage. This Upstate Retreat is completely turn key, featuring recent updates such as, standing seam metal roof, new furnace and generator that powers the entire property. Enjoy modern conveniences seamlessly blended with classic Catskills Charm. Whether you're seeking a peaceful weekend getaway or a full-time residence immersed in nature, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Windham Mountain is just a short drive away, providing world-class skiing and snowboarding during the winter months, while the Catskill region offers vibrant foliage and scenic trails for hiking and biking in the warmer seasons. For those who appreciate cultural and culinary experiences, the nearby towns of Catskill and Hudson present a delightful array of restaurants, galleries, and boutiques, ensuring that every visit offers something new to discover. This idyllic retreat beckons you to embrace a lifestyle of tranquility and inspiration.
