Description

Where the Mountains Meet the River — A Turn-Key 131-Acre Catskill Sanctuary: Quiet country roads trace the bends of the Neversink River, leading to a winding drive that disappears into the trees before climbing to reveal an extraordinary hill-top retreat. Inspired by the simplicity of Swedish farmhouse design and brought to life by acclaimed architect Peter Pennoyer, this one-of-a-kind estate offers a rare blend of architectural pedigree, complete privacy, and deep connection to the landscape. Offered fully furnished, this exquisite home is ready to be enjoyed from the moment you arrive. Tucked into Wildcat Mountain, with a storybook setting, this sprawling getaway is a thoughtful pairing of form and function. Warm wood accents are complemented by clean, modern lines and there are many unexpected moments to fall in love with. Sunlight streams in through the oversized windows, which keep the mountain views in sight at all times, quietly reminding you of the surrounding beauty. At the center of the home is Pennoyer's signature rotunda, an unforgettable architectural feature that houses a circular library overlooking the dining room below. The space feels at once intimate and dramatic, offering a sense of quiet elegance. Just beyond, a cantilevered sunroom floats above the landscape—a dreamy setting for writing, painting, or simply watching the seasons change. The well appointed layout is as functional as it is beautiful. Two generous primary suites—one on each level—offer flexibility for hosting and multi-generational living, each with spacious proportions and renovated en-suite baths. Two additional bedrooms, and a third full bath, provide ample room and flexibility for family and friends. A cozy living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace opens directly onto a large deck overlooking the property. Three sets of French doors create an almost seamless connection between indoors and out, making the room equally inviting on snowy winter evenings and warm summer afternoons. The changing seasons take center stage here, offering a front-row seat to nature's quiet rhythms. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, the home has benefited from extensive improvements, including renovations of each bathroom. The walk-out lower level features soaring ceilings and offers valuable flexible space for a gym, studio, workshop, or additional storage. Outside, the landscape is every bit as compelling as the architecture. Private trails wind through forests and meadows across the property's 131 acres, while frontage along the East Branch of the Neversink River provides a direct connection to one of the Catskills' most celebrated waterways. This expansive acreage is largely protected and partially bordered by city- and state-owned land, creating an even greater sense of privacy and extending the surrounding woodlands for endless exploration of your own nature sanctuary. Mature hydrangeas, flowering trees, and carefully tended plantings ensure months of seasonal color and beauty. Located within Catskill Park, the property offers immediate access to some of the region's best outdoor recreation. World-class fly fishing on the Neversink, swimming holes in Sundown Wild Forest, and skiing at Belleayre Mountain—just 25 miles away—are all within easy reach. 25-35 minutes on gorgeous country roads gets you to fun destination towns like Livingston Manor, Kerhonkson/Accord, Hurleyville and Ellenville, offering a mix of beloved restaurants, shops, farmers markets, and cultural destinations that have made this corner of the Catskills so sought after.
