Welcome to The Skytop Lodge, a custom contemporary house nestled in the heart of the Shawangunk Mountains. This Acorn Deck Design home was thoughtfully sited to follow the sun’s path. With forty-eight windows, glass doors, and skylights, the interiors are bathed in natural light from dawn to dusk. Set on nearly three acres on a quiet cul-de-sac, the property offers privacy and convenience, just minutes to the Village of New Paltz, historic Mohonk Mountain House, and miles of preserved trails and parkland. Inside, oak floors flow through much of the home. The chef’s kitchen with breakfast bar invites both casual meals and lively entertaining, while a spacious Trex deck extends living outdoors for grilling, dining, relaxing, and soaking in the surrounding beauty. The main floor also includes a guest bath, large pantry, living room, dining room, and sunroom. The second level hosts three bedrooms, including a generous primary suite with tiled ensuite bath, plus an additional full bath. The third level, brightened with 5 skylights, provides flexible space for an office, yoga studio, playroom, or guest retreat. The walkout lower level functions as a private guest or in-law suite, complete with a kitchen, full bath, and oversized family room. From sunrise to sunset, this home reflects a deep connection to nature. The outdoor space contains woods, a 1 acre lawn, a play set, amazing hills for sledding, as well as two useful sheds. Peacefully sited on the edge of the woods yet close to town, it offers the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility. In the heart of the Hudson Valley, you’ll enjoy easy access to farmers markets, wineries, breweries, and some of the region’s best hiking.
