This to-be-built modern chalet at Rustic Pines offers 2,272 square feet of refined living space set on a private, 3.16 acre wooded homesite surrounded by towering evergreens. Crafted by a trusted local builder with decades of experience, the home reflects a commitment to enduring quality, thoughtful proportions, and clean, contemporary design—an ideal balance of comfort, craftsmanship, and long-term value. At the heart of the home is a striking open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area with ceilings soaring up to 24 feet and a full wall of south-facing, energy-efficient Low-E windows that bathe the interior in natural light while framing the surrounding forest. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and generous storage, designed to feel equally elegant and practical. A large wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors, creating a seamless connection between interior comfort and nature. The main level includes two well-sized bedrooms with 9-foot ceilings, ample closets, and direct access to the deck, along with a full bathroom, laundry nook, and a wide oak staircase with solid treads. Buyers may also opt for a first-floor primary layout. Upstairs, the primary suite occupies most of the second level and offers a cathedral ceiling, walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, separate shower, double vanity, and linen storage. An open mezzanine provides flexible space for a media room, home office, or quiet retreat. Additional features include oak flooring throughout, central heating and air conditioning, and a full basement with 8-foot ceilings offering excellent storage or future expansion potential. A full menu of optional enhancements is available, including heated bathroom floors, finished basement space, pool, pool house, sauna, and more. Rustic Pines is an intimate enclave of just 19 homes, offering deeded access to shared woodland trails, two serene ponds, and maintained green spaces—delivering privacy, natural beauty, and ease of ownership. All of this just minutes from Ellenville and Mountain Dale, with access to restaurants, shops, farmers markets, and a growing cultural scene.
