This Alta Log home is set in a beautiful corner of the Catskills close to Woodstock, Phoenicia, Stone Ridge, and the Ashokan Reservoir. At once rustic and refined, it already has everything you would add if you set out to create an idyllic mountain retreat from scratch: a barrel sauna, a plunge pool, a huge finished basement for games and entertainment, a 2-car garage, a garden, a wine cellar, wide open living spaces with soaring, wood-clad ceilings and exposed joinery, clever design touches that make this house just a little bit different from other Alta homes we've seen, and the birds, bees, and critters you'll love to watch through the many windows that characterize all Alta homes. Set in the center of a 5.65-acre parcel with old-growth hemlock trees surrounding the winding drive to the house, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath house was designed for a connection to nature with a deep deck on the front that looks out over the peaceful woodland landscape and accommodates dining, planting, and parties. Inside, the vaulted ceilings of the great room are anchored by the woodstove's hearth (a huge stone taken from the land) and a smart use of color. Off the great room, a large home office has access to a private patio on one wall and the backyard on the opposite side - it has an expansive, creative feel that would be difficult to recreate elsewhere. The first floor is finished off with two bedrooms, a full bathroom, an impressive entry, and a powder room. The second floor is dedicated to a huge master suite that offers privacy and escape. With a window seat that offers on-high views of the land and room for several seating areas, it feels like a cabin in the sky. The suite's bath is gutted and ready for renovation - finish it to your taste to make this escape 100% yours.
