A genuine dreamscape. The direct, knock-your-socks off view of High Point Mountain from both the house and inground pool cannot be bettered. And it really doesn’t matter what season: all views are either stunning, dreamily atmospheric, or else a palette of changing color. Sited on manageable acreage and fenced to protect its landscaping, the house is a trove of interesting space, from the atrium-like dining room to the interior balcony off one of its upstairs bedrooms. Above the capacious living room, which shares the mountain view with the kitchen, is a relaxing media room and the primary bedroom suite is privately located on the first floor, adjacent to a screened-in porch next to a rock pond. One of the most fabulous features poolside is a totem-like stone fireplace. And if a very stylish and secluded home were not enough, there is a super-cool 400+ sq ft studio (not counted in the square footage) currently used as office space. And if you must leave this picture-perfect spot, the amazing Ashokan Reservoir with its enveloping majestic views is just minutes away. And not much further is Phoenicia, Woodstock, Kingston or Stone Ridge. But the odds are you will always be drawn back to that view of High Point Mountain from your absolutely wonderful home.

Perched above quiet Acorn Hill Road and with staggering views of High Point Mountain, this cedar-sided contemporary home is pure oasis. Clean lines, modern finishes and amenities galore provide calm and luxury, while ultimate privacy is interrupted only by the sights and sounds of nature. Walls of glass bring the outside in, expanding the vistas in all seasons. Recently remodeled kitchen and baths are clean and crisp in design, and the flowing floor plan is lofty and flexible. A separate spa room with sunken hot tub flanks one side of the house, while a delightful screened porch overlooks a cascading waterfall garden on the other. The most exciting room of the house is perhaps outdoors, where just steps from the tiered deck, the stone fireplace and 20x40 saline pool hug the hillside and face the dramatic Catskill view. A separate 480 sq ft studio building with heat and air conditioning enjoys views into the woods at its rear and a patio in front with loads of beautiful landscaping all around.
