After you spot our mailbox on the side of a county road, you turn to a long winding gravel road, as if you get into a heavily wooded forest. You will see our house at the end of driveway, where you don’t see any neighbor’s houses nor hear any traffic on the road. Our two-level barrel-shape house sits on a private land of 12 acres, with plenty of woods to explore and deer and other animals to be spotted. A very large lawn in the front provides a open yet secluded playground, with a fire pit and a grass maze.
Our house is architecturally exciting - south facing curved windows provide a panoramic view of Windham ski mountain with plenty of sun throughout the day. Opening the second floor door is a south-facing porch with spectacular view and is equipped with a gas grill and an automatic awning for shade. The highly functional kitchen comes with a newly installed dishwasher and many small cooking appliances including waffle maker, air fryer and instant pot. We keep many ingredients and spices for both western and Asian cooking.
The master bedroom has a king sized bed with a TV on the wall and its own bathroom. The guest room also has a king sized bed. The second bathroom has a bathtub and shower. In addition, we also have an outdoor shower heated by the sun, that can be used on sunny days to feel completely in nature.
Downstairs is our entertainment area: brand new pool table, excise machine, yoga mats and hand weights. For our guests pleasure, you are also welcome to try our compound bow and electric pottery wheel. Or you may just want to sit on the couch watching Netflix, Amazon prime and other movie channels. Both upstairs and downstairs have fireplace as well as pull-out couch.
The house is only a few minutes away by car from Windham, one of the most charming towns in Catskills, where you may find artisanal shops, ethnic restaurants and a fabulous French bakery. Windham ski area is only 8 minute away from us and Hunter ski mountain is 20 minutes away. There are plenty of hiking trials in the area, and two beautiful golf courses within 15 minutes.
Only a couple of hours away from New York City, Catskills is a well known getaway with a charming rustic and rural feel. People come here all year around for hiking, skiing and, of course, fall foliage.
