Wake up to fresh mountain air and peaceful surroundings seen through a soaring wall of glass and spend your weekends immersed in everything that makes the Catskills unforgettable. Tucked away on a private road in the charming hamlet of Palenville, bordering Catskill and Saugerties, this custom-built chalet offers the rare combination of privacy, modern comfort, and effortless low-maintenance living. Set on 1.5 peaceful acres with only one neighboring luxury home, it’s the kind of place where mornings begin with coffee on the deck, afternoons are spent hiking nearby trails or skiing Hunter Mountain, and evenings end beneath a canopy of stars and grilling on the deck and sitting by the fire pit.. Need more? An adjoining 1.16-acre buildable lot is also available—perfect for a pool, guest house, studio, or another full size house.
Built to last, this thoughtfully designed 2,700-square-foot home was crafted for lasting quality and peace of mind, insulated foundation system, hydro-air heating and cooling, architectural asphalt roofing, and a 22kW Generac whole-house generator.
Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings and a dramatic wall of glass flood the great room with natural light while framing seasonal views of the Catskill Mountains. The open kitchen features quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, creating a welcoming space for entertaining after a day outdoors. The entire upper level is dedicated to a private primary suite complete with a custom walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath featuring a whirlpool tub, double vanity, and separate shower.
The finished walk-out lower level offers exceptional flexibility as a media room, fitness space, studio, or guest retreat, with direct access to a beautiful stone patio. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a TimberTech deck and contemporary black railings overlooking the peaceful woodland setting.
Ideally located just minutes from hiking, Hunter Mountain skiing, Rip Van Winkle Brewing Company, Story Farms, and the vibrant shops and restaurants of Woodstock, Catskill, and Hudson, this is more than a beautifully built home—it’s an invitation to embrace the Catskills lifestyle in a place you’ll look forward to spending time. Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or an income-producing investment, this property delivers joy.
