Description

Set on nine wooded acres with its own pond, Hemlock House is a striking architectural retreat where modern design meets the natural beauty of the Catskills. Offered fully furnished, the home is a rare turnkey escape, equally suited to weekends away or full-time life in the country.

At the heart of the home, soaring 30-foot cathedral ceilings and dramatic walls of windows bring an extraordinary sense of scale to the open living space while keeping the surrounding landscape constantly in view. A wood-burning stove anchors the room, making the space just as inviting in winter as it is with the doors thrown open in summer.

The kitchen is designed for both gathering and everyday living, with Reform oak cabinetry, integrated appliances, and an oversized quartz island offering plenty of room to cook, entertain, or linger over morning coffee.

The main-level primary suite feels like a retreat of its own, with an ensuite bath and direct access to a terrace and outdoor shower. A powder room, laundry room, generous storage, and welcoming entry complete the first floor. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a full bath, along with flexible loft spaces that can easily accommodate a home office, reading nook, creative space, or a quite spot to unwind.

Outside, an expansive bluestone patio extends the living space outdoors, with room for long dinners, lazy afternoons, and evenings around the fire pit beneath the starry sky. The seven-foot cedar hot tub offers a front-row seat to the changing seasons, while a peaceful pond creates another place to slow down and enjoy the landscape. An EV charger and whole-house generator add the practical comforts that make country living that much easier.

Hemlock House is less than two hours from NYC and exceptionally well positioned for exploring the western Catskills. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and Jeffersonville’s Main Street are just minutes away, with Livingston Manor, Callicoon, and Narrowsburg all within easy reach. Restaurants, farmers markets, hiking trails, rivers, and some of the region’s best small towns can fill a weekend.
