    What's special

    A mere two hours from New York City, The Top Ridge Retreat offers a rare combination of modern elegance, natural beauty, and complete privacy within the exclusive 2,500-acre gated community of The Chapin Estate. Set on more than eleven acres, this contemporary residence delivers a refined lifestyle designed for comfort, sophistication, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Inside, the layout balances openness with intimacy. The home is offered fully furnished, with carefully curated furniture and artwork included to complement its contemporary design and elevate the overall living experience. The primary suite includes a private sitting area, fireplace, and spa-like bath, creating a true sanctuary. Additional bedrooms are spacious and well-appointed for guests. A sunken living room and library—each with a fireplace—add warmth and architectural interest, while a dedicated gym, massage room, and wellness area enhance the home’s retreat-like atmosphere. Every element of the home has been thoughtfully crafted. With 205 oversized windows, natural light fills each space and creates a continuous connection to the surrounding forest. The expansive chef’s kitchen and dining room overlook the saltwater Gunite pool, pool house, and a fully equipped indoor/outdoor kitchen featuring a fireplace, pizza oven, and dining gazebo—an ideal setting for effortless entertaining. A short stroll from the pool leads to a world-class tennis court with its own cabana, offering resort-level recreation right at home. The residence is built with uncompromising attention to quality. Features include a 12-zone radiant and solar heating system, a 12-ton central air conditioning system, custom cabinetry, and bespoke tile work throughout. From the solid wood doors to the precision-crafted finishes, every detail reflects a commitment to excellence. Life within The Chapin Estate offers unmatched access to nature and amenities. The community spans more than 2,500 acres of pristine forest and borders an additional 14,000 acres of protected conservation land. Residents enjoy miles of hiking, biking, and snowshoe trails; freshwater reservoirs and trout streams; concierge services; security patrols; and a members-only Lake Club. From within the community, owners have direct access to both Toronto Reservoir and Swinging Bridge Reservoir, ideal for boating, kayaking, fishing, and quiet days on the water. Just one mile away, the Chatwal Lodge provides elevated dining and hospitality. Located in the hamlet of White Lake, part of historic Bethel—home of the 1969 Woodstock concert—this region is rich with culture and recreation. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts offers world-class performances and a renowned museum. Nearby, the Monticello Motor Club provides a premier private automotive experience. Farm-to-table dining, boutique cafés, craft breweries, lake activities, skiing, and endless outdoor adventures complete the lifestyle. A true escape from city life, The Top Ridge Retreat delivers privacy, beauty, and resort-style amenities in one of Sullivan County’s most coveted luxury communities. This is contemporary living at its finest—without the stress of the Long Island Expressway.
