On entrance, an open concept great room welcomes you to Heute Haus. The chef’s kitchen, a marvel of bespoke cabinetry rivaling custom furniture, flows seamlessly into the sunken living room. The wood-burning stove and built-in couches upholstered in fine mohair deliver an elevated yet supremely loungeable experience. Oversized glass doors seamlessly transition to the rear deck and Zen courtyard, enhancing the ease of indoor-outdoor living. Practicality is not overlooked, with a mudroom and vintage infused half-bath with laundry facilities completing this wing of the home.

The home comprises two queen-sized bedrooms, each with its own armoire, flanking a full bathroom enhanced by double pocket doors and ample linen storage. Just beyond, a versatile bonus room could serve as an office, den, or additional living space. Behind a handsome antique door lies the primary suite, secluded from the rest of the house. This private sanctuary offers a king-sized room with a cinema-sized window, panoramic woodland views, floor-to-ceiling closets, and a vanity or coffee nook. From the ensuite with double sinks, soaking tub and shower, step directly outside to a cedar barrel sauna and outdoor hot/cold shower for a complete spa experience. With no neighbors in sight, the choice to don a robe is entirely optional.

Design highlights include custom built-ins and millwork, a curated selection of vintage and modern finishes, rounded bullnose corners, and white oak hardwood floors complemented by warm cork flooring in select areas. Completed in 2024, this home boasts construction quality that matches its exquisite interiors. Advanced HVAC systems ensure a comfortable living environment. Sound-absorbing materials between interior walls, and insulation in exterior walls that surpasses air sealing codes, aids in both energy efficiency and serenity.

Set on 5 wooded acres with hand-laid bluestone patios, a low-slung back deck, Zen garden, fire pit, barrel sauna and outdoor shower, Heute Haus was imagined as a low-maintenance refuge in a natural environment. Beyond the bounds, an adjacent 5-acre lot is available for sale for perpetual privacy and the opportunity to expand with a guest house, pool, or studio. Heute Haus is located within the gates of Black Forest, a sought after private community offering residents exclusive access to 1,100 acres of wild preserve, mapped hiking trails, swimming holes, fishing and stunning ravines that serve as an extension of the home’s backyard.

Heute Haus is tucked away from it all and yet so close to conveniences and adventure as you explore Sullivan County Catskills and the Upper Delaware River Valley. Two hours from New York City by car, it’s just minutes from the Kadampa Meditation Center, Homestead School, and Circle Park; 10 minutes to Barryville or Eldred for groceries, farmers market, coffee, dining, libations, and river rafting, and less than 15 minutes from the renowned Forestburgh Playhouse and kayaking on the Rio Reservoir. Main Street Narrowsburg is merely 30 minutes away, and Port Jervis’ amenities and train to Penn Station are a 20-minute drive over the scenic Hawk’s Nest.
