Set on a wooded ledge and surrounded by forest, Skyline Ledges is a modern retreat designed by Catskill Modern Home Builders. Clean lines, oversized windows, and a restrained natural palette allow the landscape to serve as the centerpiece of the home, striking an architectural balance that feels intentional, calm, and elevated.

Through the side entrance, step into the home’s light-filled foyer, where a built-in coffee bar, sculptural bench, and wine cooler establish a thoughtful approach to everyday living. The foyer leads directly into the open-layout living area, anchored by a spacious chef’s kitchen positioned across from the entry. Organized around an oversized eat-in island, the kitchen features rich, dark cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and sleek quartz countertops that add contrast and clarity to the space. To one side, sliding glass doors open onto the back deck, while the dining area sits adjacent, oriented toward the surrounding trees.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the living room sits beneath rising thirteen-foot ceilings. At its center, a minimalist biofuel fireplace adds warmth without interrupting the home’s clean, modern lines. Ten-foot windows and doors frame the forest canopy and open onto the covered front porch, which stretches the full length of the home and blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living.

Two wings extend from either end of the living space, with the primary suite positioned as a private retreat set apart from the rest of the home. The space features tall ceilings, a private entrance opening onto the front porch, and a spa-like bathroom inspired by boutique European interiors. Seamless tile, a curbless shower, a heated towel warmer, and carefully selected finishes emphasize comfort and restraint. In the opposite wing, two guest bedrooms continue the home’s emphasis on openness and light, one with a second private entrance to the covered porch. A shared bathroom serves the guest rooms, finished with modern fixtures, a rainfall showerhead, and a deep soaking tub.

Outside, decks and covered outdoor spaces extend daily living into the landscape, where rock ledges, forest, and long views define the setting. The home’s placement on 2.78 acres of wooded land feels deliberate, offering a sense of seclusion while highlighting the visual drama of the surrounding Catskills landscape.

Neversink sits in the southern Catskills, just under thirty minutes from Livingston Manor, where a strong cultural and culinary scene adds energy to the wider region. Contemporary exhibitions at Catskill Art Space bring a sharp, current edge, while shops like Seasons, Homesteadt, and Corners offer a well-edited mix of clothing, housewares, and locally rooted design. The surrounding landscape is equally compelling, with access to the Willowemoc Wild Forest and trails like Hodge Pond, Frick Pond, and Beaverkill Ridge Trail, ranging from gentle, reflective loops to longer, more immersive forest hikes.

In town, Main Street Farm is a go-to in the mornings and afternoons, with coffee, sandwiches, and provisions in a relaxed, community-driven setting. Dining and drinks lean elevated yet unpretentious, from Korean-inspired plates at Threshold, seafood and daily specials at Stumble Out, to wood-fired pizza at The Kaatskeller. Livingston Manor is also home to two breweries: Upward Brewing, where visitors can hike Beer Mountain, and Catskill Brewery, where a food truck regularly serves street classics.

In Neversink, Hemlock has emerged as one of the Catskills’ most considered wellness retreats, anchored by a spa program that easily stands on its own. The experience centers on the spa facilities, including a heated indoor pool, sauna, and steam room. Seasonal, plant-forward meals from the on-site Bittersweet Restaurant complete the offering, making Hemlock an easy, self-contained option for a full day of soaking, movement, and calm.

Skyline Ledges feels clean, elevated, and confident, defined by sleek lines, tall ceilings, and a disciplined palette that gives the interiors a composed, architectural feel. Oversized windows and sliding glass doors soften the home’s tailored appearance, pulling in natural light and forest views to create a balance between precision and warmth.

Light wood floors offset the home’s darker exterior and cabinetry, introducing an organic counterpoint that keeps the modern design grounded. A streamlined biofuel fireplace sits quietly within the living space, adding warmth and atmosphere without disrupting the home’s clear geometry. Throughout, materials and finishes work in quiet conversation with one another, reinforcing a cohesive, modern aesthetic that feels deliberate, calm, and carefully resolved.
