An exceptional example of sustainable architecture by Lee Friedman, this thoughtfully designed home in the Western Catskills showcases his signature innovation and commitment to energy-efficient living. The structure incorporates **passive heating and cooling**, using natural light, airflow, and insulation to maintain comfort year-round without reliance on mechanical systems. **Solar panels** further reduce the property’s environmental footprint and utility costs, making this a smart choice for those seeking an alternative energy lifestyle. The home is sited on a quiet country road and includes a **second, separately deeded 1-acre parcel**, offering additional **road frontage** and future flexibility. The larger parcel is beautifully landscaped and bordered by a **clear, year-round creek**, adding to the natural beauty. Located in the **Town of Kortright**, this property benefits from the clean air, scenic views, and recreational access the **Western Catskills** are known for. Hiking, fishing, and nature exploration are all close by, with local towns offering farmers markets, cultural events, and essential amenities. The setting supports both full-time residency and weekend use, with the home itself offering a peaceful, modern retreat that doesn’t sacrifice sustainability for comfort. This is a rare opportunity to own a property that reflects both environmental values and architectural excellence in one of the most beautiful corners of upstate New York.
