About 1199 W Highland Road
Perched atop more than 10 private mountaintop acres, this extraordinary retreat offers a front-row seat to some of the Catskills' most spectacular panoramic views. Designed by David Howell of DHD Architecture and Interior Design, the contemporary residence seamlessly blends striking architecture with its natural surroundings. The open-concept great room features 16-foot cathedral ceilings, expansive walls of glass, and oversized sliding doors that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. A wood-burning stove anchors the living space, while the chef's kitchen is outfitted with premium appliances, sleek finishes, and a generous breakfast bar. Automated Hunter Douglas solar shades provide comfort at the touch of a button while preserving the uninterrupted mountain vistas beyond. Outside, a west-facing deck captures breathtaking sunsets across the surrounding peaks. The property's private wellness retreat includes an eight-person cedar sauna, hot tub, fire pit, and covered outdoor gathering space framed by hand-stacked stone quarried directly from the land itself. Four spacious bedrooms provide ample room for gathering, while EV charging capability and fully owned solar panels offer modern convenience and energy efficiency. Located in Hobart, the renowned Book Village of the Catskills, the home offers easy access to independent bookstores, galleries, hiking and cycling trails, skiing, and year-round outdoor recreation. Combining exceptional privacy, architectural pedigree, and extraordinary views, this mountaintop sanctuary embodies the very best of Catskills living.
