A Scandinavian inspired Chalet with Stream Tucked away on a quiet road leading to the Indian Head Wilderness Park, situated safely above a full year stream with a swim hole, this 3BR/2BA chalet in Elka Park is a true gem. Set on an acre of land surrounded by mature trees, bordering a forest on two sides and moments from state land, this home has been a beloved residence for its current stewards—between ski runs at Hunter and summers beside the stream that flows gently along the edge of the property. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully renovated with a clean sensibility. Natural light pours in through oversized windows from all four directions depending on the time of the day, and a powerful Canadian wood stove heats up the whole house radiating heat and creates the kind of warmth you want to gather around after a day on the slopes or a long, soul-refreshing hike. The first-floor opens into a sun filled living room with both eastern and western exposures, anchored by a wood stove and a stone decorative fireplace, with an open kitchen and a dining nook. A bedroom offers calming views of the stream, making it a perfect guest retreat or primary bedroom option, with an adjoining full bath. Upstairs, you'll find two more light-filled bedrooms and a full bath—each space designed with coziness, charm and comfort in mind. Step out to the enclosed porch at the back of the home and you'll find yourself in a private seasonal sanctuary—ideal for morning coffee, evening wine, or taking in the rhythmic sounds of nature. The property includes a charming green outbuilding lovingly dubbed Walden, a nod to Thoreau's peaceful retreat. Whether used as a writer's studio, artist's haven, or quiet escape, it adds a sense of storybook magic to the grounds. There's also a storage shed for your gear—because you'll want your bikes, skis, and boots nearby in this outdoor playground. Located in the heart of the Catskills, Elka Park offers endless opportunities to explore—whether you're into hiking, skiing on the slopes just minutes away, or simply soaking up the stillness of the woods. This home isn't just a place—it's a feeling. And it's ready for its next chapter.
