Perched high above the valley with breathtaking views, this beautifully maintained chalet captures everything people dream about when escaping to the mountains. Set on more than eight private acres, a private driveway leads past a spring-fed pond and up to a contemporary retreat surrounded by rolling hills, open skies, and the ever-changing beauty of the Great Western Catskills. Inside, soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and multiple sets of windows create a warm and inviting atmosphere filled with natural light. A gas fireplace welcomes you to the main living area, while a separate gathering space offers room to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the view. The charming country kitchen is perfectly positioned for casual meals and morning coffee, and the primary suite features its own bath with a soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms, a half bath, and laundry complete the main level. Upstairs, a generous loft offers incredible flexibility. Whether you're looking for additional guest space, a home office, artist's studio, yoga room, or cozy reading retreat, the bright open layout, full bath, and windows on every side make it a space you'll definitely want to use. The walkout lower level adds even more versatility with a finished flex room, workshop, and abundant storage. Outside, multiple decks invite you to follow the sun throughout the day, while the grounds offer opportunities to explore, garden, entertain, or simply sit quietly and take in the landscape. A protected garden area, thoughtfully placed seating areas, and charming outdoor moments create a true connection to the land. A large barn provides exceptional utility and storage, with space for cars, equipment, tools, recreational gear, and everything needed to maintain the property throughout the seasons. Recent improvements, including mini-split air conditioning, driveway upgrades, and a brand-new metal roof, make this home as practical as it is beautiful. Located just minutes from the charming bookshops of Hobart, known as the ''Book Village,'' and just as close to the restaurants of Stamford, this location offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Hiking, skiing, fishing, farmers markets, and some of the Catskills' most scenic drives are all within easy reach. All less than 3 hours north of the George Washington Bridge.
