Tucked away on a quiet private road in the hamlet of Palenville, bordering Catskill and Saugerties, this custom-built 2018 chalet offers the perfect blend of quality construction, low-maintenance living, and an exceptional Catskills location. Privately sited on 1.5 acres with only one other luxury home nearby, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence spans 2,700 square feet and was thoughtfully designed for comfort, efficiency, and stress-free ownership. An additional 1.16-acre vacant lot is also available, ideal for a pool, guest house, or expanded compound. Built by one of the area's premier builders, the home features LP SmartSide siding, architectural asphalt roofing, hydro-air heating and cooling, a 22kW Generac whole-house generator, and a Fox Blocks insulated foundation system for exceptional energy efficiency and durability. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings and a dramatic wall of glass fill the living room with natural light and seasonal views of the Catskill Mountains. The open kitchen includes KraftMaid cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The entire top floor is dedicated to the private primary suite with a custom walk-in closet and spa-like bath featuring a whirlpool tub, double vanity, and separate shower. The finished walk-out lower level offers flexible space for a media room, gym, studio, or guest overflow, with direct access to a stone patio. Outdoor living is equally inviting with a TimberTech deck and contemporary black railings overlooking the peaceful surroundings. Ideally located near hiking, skiing at Hunter Mountain, Rip Van Winkle Brewing Company, and Story Farms, and approximately 20 minutes to Woodstock and 30 minutes to Hudson, this is a Catskills retreat built to last in a location people quietly seek out and rarely leave.
