Remarks

Welcome home to this one-of-a-kind modern, authentic log cabin in a splendid, ultra-private location perched above the Warner Creek in the heart of the Catskill Park. It is set on a versatile 1.8 acre parcel which borders hundreds of acres of Forever Wild land. Here you will find arresting 360-views and even waterfront! The artfully landscaped property faces west, and as the sun sets, shadows deepen in the golden valley and a rosy glow reflects off the mountains above the gentle but lively creek. Enjoy listening to its murmur from the decks or inside from the inviting open floor plan, rich with classic cabin vibes including rustic wood beams, stunning farmhouse style wide-plank pine hardwood floors, a character-drenched stone fireplace and chimney, and marvelously high ceilings. The airy feeling throughout the well-maintained house is augmented by the generous natural light and dreamy views throughout the many windows, creating a calming, retreat-like atmosphere.

The home is highly efficient and low maintenance and full of smart updates, including Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat mini splits, a top-of-the-line Woodstock soapstone wood stove, many electrical improvements including EV chargers and a generator hook up, a comprehensive water filtration system, a spacious new auxiliary building, a handcrafted woodshed and many more. Smart home features let you adjust the room temperatures remotely.

As cozy and comfy as the house is, one must explore the property to understand its essence. The generous lawn leads to trails that you could hike on for days. The easy access to hiking, swimming and fishing right from the property are unparalleled. You will love the two ample decks for gracious and easy outdoor entertaining, and the myriad of graceful old trees and newer plantings. You also have a nice piece of waterfront, though the house is ''High and Dry'' and safely out of the flood plain. The expansive new auxiliary building can easily house a home office or two, rec room, yoga studio, you name it.

Just five minutes away is adorable Phoenicia with its fun culinary and arts scenes, and iconic Woodstock is just twenty minutes away. Skiers, Belleayre Mountain and Hunter Mountain are within twenty minutes, and town maintenance insures that plowing is speedy in season on peaceful and dead-ended Silver Hollow Road, one of the most desirable in the area. This house really has the whole package, with its thoughtful detail, utility, efficiency, and rustic nature, plus its scenic and private location. Remote workers, the cable internet on offer is very speedy. And for those pursuing something very turnkey, it is possible to discuss the furniture remaining, for an easy move into your own sweet country home! This is a rare opportunity to own a true log home designed for living in a tranquil woodland sanctuary.
