Set along a quiet stretch of Mountain House Road in the heart of Palenville, where the Kaaterskill Mountain rises dramatically and nature feels within reach, this recently updated retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, charm, and modern comfort across 8.9 serene acres. Tucked back from the road and surrounded by mature trees, the property unfolds as a true escape, equally suited for full-time living or a weekend getaway just a couple hours from New York City. Inside, the home spans approximately 1,739 square feet with a thoughtfully renovated interior that balances warmth and simplicity. The main living space is designed with today's lifestyle in mind with an open-concept layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen, living, and dining areas, creating an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of it all, a Jotul wood stove sits before a striking historic stone hearth offers the perfect cozy fireside ambience for homey Catskill evenings. A three-season room extends the open living space and invites you to slow down and take in the surrounding landscape, ideal for morning coffee and leisurely afternoons immersed in the sounds of nature. The home features three bedrooms and a full bath, all updated to reflect a clean, modern aesthetic while maintaining a sense of rustic charm. Outdoors, the property truly shines. A large fire pit sets the stage for memorable nights under the stars, while the expansive acreage offers a mix of open and wooded terrain. A looping walking trail winds through the land, inviting quiet exploration and opportunities to observe the regional wildlife. The large detached two-car garage adds both convenience and functionality for vehicles, storage or as a workshop space. At the end of Mountain House Road, a nearby trail leads to a beautiful waterfall and follows the historic route to the former Catskill Mountain House. Today, it leads to North-South Lake and connects to the renowned Escarpment Trail. Which places some of the region's most sought-after hiking and scenic overlooks just moments away. Set in one of the Catskills' most iconic hamlets, just a short drive from the vibrant and popular communities of Hudson, Tannersville, Woodstock, Windham and Hunter. This property captures the essence of upstate living: peaceful, elevated, and effortlessly connected to nature. Don't miss the opportunity to own a Catskills retreat with space to breathe, room to grow, and style that feels both timeless and current.
