Escape into the wilderness of the Catskill Mountains and find a private retreat in this builder-owned Woodhaven Lodge in The Chapin Estate, an exclusive gated private sanctuary in upstate New York. Nestled on a six-acre corner lot with a wrap-around driveway, you will have plenty of space for your pool or tennis courts. Built to last, this Douglas Fir timber frame home with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) for the exterior walls and ceilings will be one for the ages.

Pull up to the porte-cochere entrance and walk through the front door to a total of 6,934 square feet of living space. You’ll immediately be transported into a place of luxurious peace and comfort when you come into the entryway and take in the high beamed ceilings, custom carvings, walnut floors, and floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the two-story great room. You will also appreciate a mixture of custom finishes from bark panels, stone, reclaimed barn wood, custom tile, wrought iron, specialty light fixtures, and hand-applied stucco finish.

Entertain with ease by your fireplace or dine on delicacies cooked in your gourmet kitchen featuring cherry cabinets, granite countertops, a built-in bar, and state of the art appliances like a double wall oven, 6 burner cooktop, and so much more.

Enjoy having two suites, one on the main floor and a second upstairs. The master bath includes a copper soaking tub, custom tiled shower for two, a fireplace, all Kohler plumbing, a massive walk-in closet with plenty of custom built-ins, and other custom details.

A few other luxurious features to ensure that life in the Catskills is a private retreat includes Nu-Heat Floor warming for the master bathroom and mudroom, custom-built reclaimed barn wood furnishings throughout, built-in cabinetry in all guest bedroom closets, remote thermostats accessible via iPhone or the internet, a 20KW whole house backup generator with an auto-transfer switch, and a built-in audio system with satellite radio and iPod hookup.

The walkout first floor is waiting to be finished to your taste with over 2,000 sq. ft of space left up to your imagination. Park with ease in this over-sized attached 3 car heated garage with pass-through doors and steel beams in place to remove the need for lally columns. The guest suite above the garage can be finished off for additional living space or an office which includes roughed-in electrical wiring and plumbing.

Relax in the cool of the day out on the back deck with custom-fabricated powder-coated steel railings and have plenty of space to lounge, grill, and have easy access to the spacious backyard tucked in by the surrounding private woods.

Enjoy the amenities in The Chapin Estate, such as the Lake Club on Swinging Bridge Reservoir, horse lessons at Crestwood Mountain Farms, and a few others that are coming soon. Amenities outside of the estate include Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, Monticello Motor Club, Resorts World Catskills, Kartrite Resort and Indoor Waterpark.
