BRAND NEW ON 22 ACRES WITH MOUNTAIN VIEWS. Set high on the Shawangunk Ridge, this newly built modern home offers expansive Catskill Mountain views that continue north as far as the eye can see. Looking east, there are additional views toward Skytop Tower and the Mohonk Preserve. The house sits privately within 22 park like acres, reached by a winding gravel drive bordered by mature trees and native granite stone. The exterior has a clean, European-inspired design with ivory-cream stucco, black-framed windows and a red standing-seam metal roof. Inside, large windows bring in abundant natural light and keep the surrounding landscape in view. Warm wood floors, exposed ceiling beams, contemporary lighting and a glass-and-metal staircase add character while maintaining the home's minimalist feel. The main level is designed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining. The spacious kitchen features extensive white cabinetry, generous counter space, an oversized waterfall-edge island, stainless steel appliances and large-format tiled floors. It flows easily into the dining and living areas, where a large Mansfield soapstone wood stove provides a natural focal point. Although officially a 3-bedroom home, the floor plan offers considerably more flexibility and functions like a 5-bedroom villa. Several additional rooms can be used as private offices, an exercise room, library, den, studio, or overflow guest space. Upstairs, a second living room is joined by another bedroom, a full bath and a private office or nursery. This separate upper level works well as an owner's suite or a quieter part of the house for remote work. The home was also built with comfort and energy performance in mind. Radiant floor heating provides consistent even warmth, while heat-pump systems add efficient heating and air conditioning. High-performance European triple-pane windows feature multipoint tilt-and-turn hardware, superior thermal insulation and excellent sound dampening. The house is well insulated and designed for comfortable four-season living. The 22-acre setting feels private and natural, with mature forest, open areas and wide views across the surrounding mountains with plenty of room for the garage, tennis/pickleball court, and pool. There is plenty of separation from the outside world without being removed from the places that make this part of Ulster County so desirable. Minnewaska State Park Preserve and the Mohonk Preserve are nearby for hiking, climbing, biking and swimming. Accord, Kerhonkson and Stone Ridge offer a strong collection of restaurants, farms and gathering places, including Inness, Arrowood Farms Brewery, Rough Cut Brewing, Mill & Main, Kelder's Farm and the newly opened Accord Social, led by well-known Hudson Valley chef Ric Orlando. The combination of acreage, flexible living space, mountain views and access to major outdoor destinations also makes the property well suited to use as a weekend home or knockout short-term rental. The town has an established STR framework, subject to current permitting and operating requirements. This is a rare combination of quality new construction, significant acreage, adaptable living space, and truly exceptional Catskill and Shawangunk Mountain views. Don't sleep on this on...
