The Ultimate Catskills Retreat — Just Minutes from Windham Resort Nestled on 12 private wooded acres less than seven minutes from Windham Resort, this 5,400 sq. ft. luxury log cabin embodies the best of mountain living — where timeless craftsmanship meets modern comfort. Designed across three levels, the home features six bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and radiant heat throughout. Natural wood and stone floors create a seamless flow that blurs the line between the warm interior and its tranquil natural surroundings. At the heart of the home, the dramatic great room stuns with its soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a grand wood-burning fireplace. French doors open to an expansive deck, perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings under the stars. The custom kitchen is beautifully equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, and self-closing hickory cabinetry — ideal for hosting large family gatherings or après-ski dinners. A heated ski and boot room keeps winter gear organized, while an enclosed porch off the dining room offers a serene spot to enjoy forest views and the sounds of nature. Upstairs, a spacious loft overlooks the great room and provides flexible space for lounging or extra guests. The second-floor en-suite bedroom features a custom walk-in shower and rich hardwood floors. The lower level is designed for entertaining, complete with a handcrafted wet bar built from timbers sourced on the property, two additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Step outside to your brand-new hot tub, tucked among the trees and softly lit at night — the perfect retreat after a day on the slopes. The property itself is a four-season playground: private trails for hiking or ATV riding, a storybook tree house, and a fire pit and tire swing for classic Catskills evenings. Recent upgrades include new roofing and railings on the tree house, a new bar fridge, updated plumbing fixtures and compressors, refinished decks, enhanced stonework, and updated lighting and roofing around the hot tub (2024). Additional highlights include central air, a whole-house generator, a two-car garage plumbed for radiant heat, and smart home upgrades such as remote-entry locks and new smoke detectors. Just 2.5 hours from New York City, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy, luxury, and convenience, moments from Windham's shops, golf, and world-class skiing. With a proven short-term rental history and the option to purchase mostly furnished, this turn-key property is ideal as a family getaway, income-producing investment, or year-round residence. Properties of this caliber are rarely available — and impossible to replicate at this price.
