Property Description

Perfectly and privately sited on 3.6 acres, with staggering mountain views, this 10-year-young modern cabin is a rare Catskills retreat. The artist-owner followed in the footsteps of the early 19th-century Hudson River School painters, inspired by the rugged and wild beauty of the Platte Clove.After what may be the coolest drive in the Catskills, you arrive at a truly magical setting: mature forest, dramatic rock outcroppings, a fern glen and those magnificent mountain views. The sense of escape continues inside, where thoughtful design and an abundance of natural light create an immediate feeling of calm.The open first floor features hardwood floors with radiant heat, a Jøtul stove for cozy winter evenings, and a forced-air heating system that can operate during a power outage. Large, strategically placed windows frame the surrounding landscape and bring the outdoors in.Upstairs is a blank canvas with beamed ceilings and skylights. Used as a painting studio since the house was built by its original owner, the space is ideally suited to creative pursuits--or could be transformed into a sumptuous primary suite. A convenient half bath is already in place, along with an additional room plumbed for a Japanese soaking tub.A truly special property for those seeking privacy, inspiration and a deep connection to the landscape, this modern cabin offers the rare combination of architectural simplicity, artistic spirit and spectacular Catskills scenery.
