Architect-Designed Mountain Retreat • 15 Min to Hunter • Private 5 Acres

Architect-Designed Catskills Retreat on 5 Private Acres - Mountain Views - 15 Min to Hunter Mountain

Discover a rare contemporary hideaway designed by an architect to immerse you in nature while offering every modern comfort. Set on 5 secluded acres with forest, mountain views, and complete privacy, this 3BR, 2.5BA Catskills retreat is the perfect escape for ski adventures, family getaways, creative inspiration, or peaceful relaxation.

Floor-to-ceiling glass windows frame the surrounding landscape in every season, snow-covered evergreens in winter, bright green forest in spring and summer, and colorful foliage in fall. Warm lighting, radiant heat, a wood-burning fireplace, and natural materials create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and deeply comforting.

Just 15 minutes from Hunter Mountain and steps from stunning hiking trails, this home blends architectural elegance with the quiet beauty of the Catskills.

About Your Host

I’m Gabriel, an architect who designed and built this home as a personal sanctuary in the Catskills. After years designing luxury projects, I wanted to create a retreat that blends nature, comfort, and modern design. We recently relaunched the home under our own management after a year with a property company, so the listing is new, but the quality is exceptional. I’m grateful for every guest who becomes part of the home’s story.
