There are views--and then there are these views. Set on nearly five private acres overlooking a broad, south-facing valley, this refined contemporary retreat pairs a quiet Nordic-Japanese aesthetic with a strong connection to the landscape. Just 2.5 hours from the George Washington Bridge, it offers privacy, natural beauty, and year-round access. Clean lines, natural materials, and expansive south-facing windows fill the living room with light while framing mountain vistas, dramatic skies, and stargazing. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the space. The 2025 kitchen renovation is sophisticated and functional, with premium Bosch appliances, custom cabinetry with integrated lighting, an oversized island, and a coffee/tea station. The kitchen opens to the porch, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection. Three bedrooms offer distinct relationships to the landscape, including a peaceful primary bedroom and an upper-level room suited to guests or a home office. Two updated bathrooms have a calm, spa-like sensibility, including a generous shower with rainfall and body jets and a deep soaking tub. The finished lower level serves as a media room and home office (adding an additional 250sf). Architectural plans are available for additional living space, including a bedroom, gym, and laundry, as well as an expansion that would nearly double the home's square footage. The nearly five-acre grounds have been selectively cleared to maximize the views while preserving fern-covered woodland and historic stone walls and a lovely sense of privacy. There is room for a pool, gardens, and recreation. Skiers and cold-weather lovers rejoice, the county-maintained road provides reliable year-round access. The property offers access to the private Tunis Lake community, with swimming, boating, fishing, tennis, bocce, basketball, and seasonal events. Bovina Montessori School and the Bovina Farmers' Market are nearby, while the restaurants, cafes, galleries, and shops of Andes, Delhi, Margaretville, and Hamden are within easy reach. A distinctive Catskills retreat where considered design, modern comfort, privacy, and an extraordinary landscape come together--equally suited to full-time living or a weekend escape.
