400 N Elting Corners Road, Highland, NY 12528

Perched at the end of a long winding driveway and surrounded by 24 acres of private woods, this extraordinary steel-built contemporary home offers architectural sophistication tucked quietly into the landscape of Highland, NY. Designed as both a statement in modern design and a deeply immersive retreat, the home balances bold structural elements with warmth, texture, and a constant connection to nature. As you approach through the trees, the residence gradually reveals itself among shifting light and towering forest, where walls of glass reflect the surrounding landscape and sunbeams pour through the interiors throughout the day. Inside, the home unfolds with an intentional sense of drama and openness, blending soaring ceiling heights, sleek lines, and curated natural materials into spaces that feel at once refined and inviting. At the heart of the residence, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space was designed for elevated everyday living and effortless entertaining. Anchored by a wood-burning stove, the living room is enveloped by expansive windows that frame the surrounding woods like living artwork, while natural light moves dynamically throughout the home from morning to evening. A striking metal spiral staircase rises through all three levels of the residence, functioning as an architectural centerpiece that reinforces the home's modern aesthetic. The kitchen was thoughtfully designed to merge functionality with high design, featuring rich wood cabinetry, clean contemporary lines, and a dramatic angled island that introduces a custom quality to the space. The seamless integration between the kitchen, dining, and living areas creates an atmosphere perfectly suited for intimate evenings or large-scale gatherings. Spanning three thoughtfully designed levels, the home features three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with each bedroom and full bath on a different floor to maximize privacy and separation. The primary suite spans its own dedicated floor, offering a secluded sanctuary immersed in treetop views and natural light. Its spa-inspired ensuite bath creates a serene retreat designed for relaxation and restoration. A custom live-edge built-in desk introduces an organic contrast to the home's modern architecture, creating a workspace that feels both inspiring and grounded in nature. The lower level introduces an entirely different mood, centered around a dedicated media room ideal for film screenings, entertaining, or quiet nights tucked away from the main living spaces. Oversized glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening to a private rear patio complete with a built-in hot tub surrounded entirely by the tranquility of the woods. Throughout the residence, every detail feels carefully considered--from the interplay of steel, glass, stone and wood tones to the intentional way the architecture frames the surrounding landscape at every turn. Located just a short drive from the Hudson Valley's celebrated restaurants, orchards, hiking trails, wineries, and river towns, this one-of-a-kind Highland retreat offers an opportunity to own a modern architectural residence where luxury, privacy, and nature exist in complete harmony.
