117 Raycliffe Drive, Woodstock, NY 12498

Welcome to "Curved Space"! The creative spirit of the Catskills has taken up residence at 117 Raycliffe Drive. Set on 8.33 acres of hilltop, amidst the trees, it feels as though it grew there, fed by a forest with an appreciation for both whimsy and beauty. In reality, it sprang from the ingenious mind of its designer, filmmaker Hilary Harris, whose work has been featured at the Metropolitan Museum. The first thing you notice on approach are the striking green roofs which have undulations as opposed to roof lines. A gorge with a stream and waterfall cuts through the property, providing calming, magical sounds, and the opportunity to cool off when it’s hot. The siding of the house and the studio/guest house blends seamlessly with the surroundings. Of course, there is a secluded yurt AND a treehouse! How could there not be here? Inside there is artistry everywhere: curved walls, natural materials, windows that provide passive solar heat, views of the mountains and woods, and accentuate the organic shapes of the design. The multi-directional staircase is the piece-de-resistance of the composition, tying several levels together and guiding the eyes to the many treats built into each space. While the house has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, the “stats” are beside the point here; this is magic we’re talking about! Come see this very special house in the tradition of the handmade homes of Woodstock and be prepared to be enchanted.
