THE MIDNIGHT CHALET A Private Catskills Retreat with Stream- front Living + Guest Cottage Some houses in the Catskills give you a view of nature. This one puts you inside it. Perched on over 1 acre near Belleayre Ski Resort, this 1,773-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath thoroughly reworked mountain house with year-round stream frontage, has its own separate guest cottage, The property extends to the center of the stream, putting the water quite literally at your doorstep. The house has undergone an extensive renovation and reconstruction, with much of it taken back and rebuilt from behind the walls forward. New electrical wiring, plumbing beneath the house, heating and baseboards, Pella windows, ceilings, substantial roof work, moisture management and a new dehumidification system are among the less glamorous but very important parts of what has been done here. Floors were refastened and restored, doors replaced, and major portions of the interior rebuilt. The exterior is wrapped in deep midnight blue with black trim, windows and gooseneck lighting. Inside, the house moves between clean modern lines and the original Catskills character rather than trying to erase it. The centerpiece is the vaulted fireplace room: newly clad in warm wood, illuminated by twin skylights and anchored by a massive river-stone fireplace. custom designed windows reveal the glories of all 4 seasons. Windows flank the hearth and look directly into the woods. The new kitchen takes the opposite approach: dark tile floors, black detailing, deep green cabinetry, black walnut and butcher counters, open shelving and a large pass-through that keeps the room connected to the rest of the house. Glass doors open directly onto the deck and surrounding forest. And then there is the water. A private deck sits beside the stream, close enough that the sound of it becomes part of the house. Sit with coffee, a bottle of wine, a book, or absolutely nothing. The stream is alive, including trout, and the property extends to its centerline, surrounded by mature trees and mountain landscape. The bathrooms continue the mix of materials, with stone, glass, mushroom wood and hammered copper. Throughout the house, black-framed windows, restored wood floors and carefully retained architectural details keep it from feeling like another generic gray-and-white renovation. But the property has another card to play. A separate finished cottage sits on the grounds, a cozy private retreat with its own sleeping area, living space, kitchenette and full bath. Vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, custom woodwork and a glass shower give it considerably more character than the words ''guest cottage'' usually imply. Use it for guests, work, extended family, a studio, or potentially as an income-producing rental. This is not a house that received a coat of paint and a clever photographer. A substantial amount of work went into the things you see and, more importantly, the things you don't. Close to the villages, restaurants, shops. This exceptional property is ready for its next chapter.

Stream-side Mid-century Loft Home - A rare Catskills find, this authentic mid-century modern home pairs architectural pedigree with an extraordinary stream-side setting. Designed by Donald Cromley, an apprentice to renowned Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer, the home has been beautifully preserved, retaining the original details and design principles that give it such a distinct sense of place. Set on two private acres bordering state land and perched well above the creek, the property encompasses more than 325 feet of creek frontage, creating a private environment shaped by water and woods. Along the entire creek-facing side of the home, a continuous bank of windows draws the outdoors in. Trees fill the view, sunlight filters through the canopy, and the sound of moving water provides a natural soundtrack throughout the seasons. Inside, the architecture is modest yet striking, with soaring loft-style ceilings, warm original details, and an effortless connection to its surroundings. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas create an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. A high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace serves as a cozy focal point, while the beautifully renovated kitchen brings modern functionality to the home's mid-century character and comes fully stocked for an easy transition into Catskills life. Just off the living room, a deck extends the experience outdoors, overlooking the creek and wooded surroundings. Three bedrooms and two full baths provide flexibility for both full-time living and weekend stays, with the primary bedroom conveniently located on the first floor. Two distinct loft spaces add another layer to the home's unique design--one overlooking the main living area and another within the primary bedroom--creating additional space while enhancing the open, airy character of the architecture. A dry sauna offers a welcome retreat after a day spent hiking, skiing, or exploring the mountains. Throughout the home, expansive glass keeps nature constantly in view--you can fall asleep surrounded by treetops and wake to the sound of the stream below. The effect is immersive yet peaceful, allowing the home's architecture and natural surroundings to exist in quiet harmony. Fully furnished and ready to enjoy, the home presents a rare opportunity to own a turnkey property where thoughtful design meets modern comfort and ease. Private and peaceful yet just minutes from Catskills ski resorts and year-round outdoor recreation, this is a home for those drawn to thoughtful architecture, natural beauty, and a quieter way of living.

Idyllic vintage cabins near Phoenicia have become increasingly hard to find, particularly at an attainable price. This warm and highly livable 1950 cabin sits almost squarely between Hunter and Belleayre, putting either mountain about twenty minutes away, while Phoenicia is less than ten minutes down the road. Its location near the end of Silver Hollow is another part of the draw. One of the most sought-after roads in the Chichester/Phoenicia area, it winds alongside Warner Creek with mountains rising all around. The house is also outside of the mapped floodplain. There is still time to be settled in before ski season. Inside, the open floor plan centers on a remarkably generous main room that feels far larger than expected in a house of 783 square feet. There is plenty of space for cooking, dining, hanging out and long conversations by the stove. Rich knotty pine paneling wraps the room, while windows on multiple sides bring in abundant natural light. The centerpiece is an exquisite fieldstone fireplace, its gorgeous masonry a tangible link to the cabin's past. On the hearth sits a wonderfully quirky barrel-shaped wood stove - part workhorse, part conversation piece, and exactly the sort of oddball detail that gives this place its soul. Primary heat is propane forced air, making this a cabin to enjoy in every season. The kitchen retains its original custom 1950s cabinetry, including glass-front cupboards and built-ins that combine craftsmanship with genuine utility. A classic Dutch door adds another memorable touch. Just beyond, a window-lined enclosed porch with a Catskills bluestone floor is made for slow mornings, reading, drawing or watching the wildlife. Practical features include a dedicated workshop, a new gas range and refrigerator, brand-new durable Pergo flooring and a backup generator already in place. Outside, towering pines, perennial plantings and old stonework give the property a loose, unstudied beauty, with a mountain ridge rising beyond the house. A generous bluestone patio, lawn and firepit create an almost woodland-courtyard atmosphere for friends and evenings outdoors. The separate shed is windowed and insulated, with double doors and a partly finished interior that could become a studio, special hideout or backyard think tank. Neighboring Phoenicia provides fun and funky year-round arts and culinary scenes, while hiking, fishing, swimming and the forever-wild reaches of the Catskill Park are all close at hand. For anyone who has been waiting for a Catskills place that feels authentic, personal and just a little unexpected, this may be it. #cabincore #cabininthewoods #midcenturycabin #hippiehouselove #wearestardust #chichestercabin #phoeniciacabin #catskillscabin
