Find absolute tranquility at this estate-like retreat nestled at the base of the Catskill Mountains. Set on a rise in the middle of 14.5 acres of native wildflower fields, approach this modern Catskills home on your private quarter mile driveway ending at an elegant entry cul-de-sac framed by exquisite stacked bluestone walls. Every room in this majestic, newly-built three bedroom (convertible four) home commands panoramic views of mountains, sunsets and wildflower meadows. The house radiates comfort & luxury, with amenities including a professional wine cellar; dedicated massage room; radiant floors; spa features; and bedrooms with private balconies & Toto washlet commodes. The primary bedroom features a soaking tub, sauna, gas fireplace and wet bar with fridge. The gourmet kitchen features Italian cabinetry and countertops, an oversized Wolf range, Miele dishwasher and wine cooler. There are two interior fireplaces, a covered dining terrace, and a 600 square foot bluestone terrace with fire pit. Landscaping will mature beautifully, especially the lush native flora surrounding the house and the birch and pine stands that flank the driveway. Mechanicals are state of the art. You'll stay comfortable all winter with radiant floors powered by a high-efficiency combi-boiler, and cool all summer with the Mitsubishi heat pump systems. ICF construction and spray-foam insulation further maximize the energy-efficiency of the home and will help ensure years of trouble-free enjoyment. The house is served by well water with a whole-house filtration and UV system, while drinking water is treated by a reverse osmosis system. The finished lower level, not included in the SF cited, has radiant heat, 10' ceilings, a full bath, and a wine cellar. It's currently being used not only as a garage for collectible car storage but as a substantial home gym. The expansive finished top floor (attic) provides flexible additional living space, and could be configured to add an additional bedroom if needed. Ideally situated, the property is close to gorgeous hiking trails, swimming holes, local farm stands, and idyllic country roads. It's less than 10 minutes to the NYS Thruway and the villages of Saugerties, Tannersville, and Catskill, or 20 minutes to Hudson, Woodstock, and Hunter and Windham ski resorts. This perfect Hudson Valley retreat awaits you!
