Tucked into the rolling landscape of West Shokan, where seasonal Catskill Mountain views emerge through the trees, this new construction contemporary home offers a rare blend of modern craftsmanship, warmth, and quiet luxury across 4.25 private acres. Surrounded by forest and designed to embrace its natural setting, the home captures the essence of elevated country living--where refined interiors meet the calm rhythm of the Catskills. A covered front porch framed by timber posts and natural wood ceilings creates a striking first impression, leading to a dramatic mahogany door and interiors rich with texture, scale, and light. Spanning 2,850 square feet, the home was thoughtfully designed to feel both expansive and deeply inviting. White oak flooring flows throughout, arched doorways and soaring ceilings wrapped in rough-cut pine bring warmth and architectural character to the main living spaces. At the heart of the home, the great room unfolds beneath a statement chandelier and cathedral beamed ceilings, centered around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that anchors the space with a sense of comfort and permanence. Expansive Marvin windows frame wooded views in every direction, while delivering exceptional craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. The kitchen was designed as both a gathering place and a sculptural focal point, blending rich walnut cabinetry with Taj Mahal quartz countertops, marble herringbone backsplash and custom wood detailing. Dual islands provide generous prep and entertaining space, while a spacious walk-in pantry elevates functionality. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, creating an effortless environment for entertaining or everyday living. The rear deck serves as a seamless extension of the living space, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection designed for quiet mornings among the trees and evenings spent beneath the mountain sky. Privately positioned on the main level, the primary suite was designed as a true retreat, offering a sense of separation and calm from the rest of the home. Spacious yet inviting, the suite is filled with natural light and framed by warm finishes that create a serene, restorative atmosphere. A generous walk-in closet provides ample storage, while the spa-inspired ensuite bath evokes the feeling of a boutique hotel, blending comfort and sophistication for everyday living. Additional main-level spaces were crafted with the same attention to detail, including a dedicated office wrapped in natural light and treetop views--an inspiring setting for remote work or creative pursuits. Thoughtfully designed for both functionality and ease, the main level also features a laundry room and country chic powder room. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms and a full bath offer a comfortable and private extension of the home, positioned to create separation from the main-level primary suite. Ideal for residents or guests alike, the upper level provides flexibility for a variety of living arrangements while maintaining the home's cohesive sense of warmth, comfort, and refined design. Outside, the property invites a lifestyle centered around connection to nature and relaxed outdoor living. Gather on the covered deck, unwind by the fire pit beneath the stars, or simply take in the stillness that defines this peaceful Catskills setting. Perfectly positioned near the Ashokan Reservoir, 5 minutes from one of the Hudson Valley's most scenic stretches of the Rail Trail and just 30 minutes from Belleayre Mountain, the property offers effortless access to skiing, hiking, acclaimed restaurants, and the refined yet relaxed lifestyle that defines the Catskills.
