From a raised wraparound deck, enter into the home’s light-filled living space. Oversized windows, skylights, and a set of sliding glass doors fill the space with light, while vaulted ceilings and light hardwood floors create a bright and airy feel throughout. To the right of the entry, a chef’s kitchen rounds out the space’s functional and gathering-oriented layout. It features bright white cabinets, sleek tiling, stainless steel appliances, and an entertainment-ready island with built-in wine refrigerator. Beyond the kitchen, this floor also houses a full bathroom and guest bedroom.

Through the living space, a flight of stairs leads to the home’s loft-style second floor. Farthest from the landing is the spacious primary suite, which features a spa-like bathroom with a double sink vanity, walk-in shower, and rainfall showerhead. This upper level also houses an additional full bathroom, as well as a large bedroom with forested views.
Back downstairs, the living area connects to the fully finished basement level. This lower level features two large bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a fully functioning kitchen, effectively creating a self-contained guest suite. A bonus den area provides additional gathering space, while sliding glass doors offer easy access to the sprawling backyard.
Outside, enjoy the wraparound deck, which provides space for lounging and grilling with breathtaking mountain views. Down a flight of stairs, a raised platform deck with a hot tub stands just steps away from the large fire pit. The wooded grounds also feature a large pea gravel patio, ideal for adding a pergola, accessory dwelling unit, barrel sauna, or al fresco dining space.
Located in the town of Haines Falls, the home is central to all things outdoors. Less than fifteen minutes from Hunter Mountain, this mountainside retreat is ideal for those looking to spend winters skiing the Northern Catskills. During the warmer months, trails in the Kaaterskill Wild Forest allow for nearby hiking. Start locally and take the Kaaterskill Rail Trail to Kaaterskill Falls, or head deeper into the forest to access more extensive trail networks. For coffee, lunch, and provisions, Fellow Mountain Cafe is just over ten minutes away – and for an evening out, dinner and drinks at spots like Tabla, Deer Mountain Inn, and Prospect are all within a short drive.
