Property Description

Tucked into 6.58 private acres on the western slope of Monka Hill, this four-season Catskills retreat is a place where the landscape becomes part of everyday life. Emory Brook runs alongside the house, a private swimming pond rests below, and trails meander through the woods and up the mountain. Mornings can begin with a walk along the stream, summer afternoons with a swim from your own dock, and winter days on the slopes of nearby Belleayre. Park the car, drop your bags, and see where the day takes you.Built in 2005, the 5,225-square-foot home has the warmth and scale of a true mountain retreat. The great room rises beneath soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, with a substantial stone fireplace at its heart and tall windows framing the forest beyond. An open kitchen with a generous granite-topped island flows naturally into the dining and living spaces, creating a home that feels equally suited to quiet weekends and a house full of guests.Outside, an expansive deck reaches into the trees--a place for long dinners, evenings around the fire, or a soak in the hot tub after a day spent outside. Five bedrooms and four baths comprise the main residence, while the finished lower level offers a separate three-bedroom, one-bath ADU with its own entrance, kitchen, dining and living spaces.But it is the land that stays with you. Follow the brook. Swim in the pond. Wander through the ferns and forest. Hike up the mountain and find your way home as the afternoon light filters through the trees. Then gather around the fire, slip into the hot tub, or simply listen to the water moving nearby.Here, the Catskills arent something you have to seek out. You wake up in the middle of them.
