209 Club Road, Windham, NY 12496

This is the mountain house everyone else wishes they'd found first. Set on one of Windham's most coveted lots, this 6-bedroom, 5-bath home combines true slope-side access with panoramic views that stretch across the Catskills. It's a genuine ski-in, ski-out property with easy access to Wonderama and Lower Wipeout. In the mornings, clip in and go. At day's end, you can choose your own finale, take the C Lift for a relaxing glide straight to your ski room, or chase that ''one last run'' feeling down Windfall all the way home. Either way, it's skiing the way it's meant to be: effortless, direct, and entirely yours. Inside, every inch feels intentional. A double-height great room with exposed beams and a massive stone fireplace creates the kind of gathering space that defines a mountain home. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull in the light and the landscape, while the open kitchen and dining area make entertaining feel as effortless as the first run of the day. Upstairs, the primary suite offers the kind of calm that only comes with elevation, 12' vaulted ceilings, a private balcony overlooking the trees, and a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub perfectly positioned under a picture window. Three of the six bedrooms have ensuite baths, giving guests and family their own sense of privacy. Downstairs, you'll find not one but two ski rooms, a primary room with built-in boot warmers, racks, cubbies, and easy access to the slopes, plus a second one for the true gear enthusiast who somehow always needs ''just one more pair.'' The expansive deck wraps the main floor, offering a front-row seat to the seasons, coffee at sunrise, cocktails at sunset, and views that turn even the simplest moments into something cinematic. A perfectly positioned hot tub makes for unforgettable après-ski, steam rising into the mountain air as the sun drops behind the ridge. A two-car garage with a Tesla charging station adds modern convenience to classic mountain living. This isn't the highest house on the mountain, but it's the one with the best view and the easiest ski access. Which, in the end, is exactly what you want.
