A rare opportunity to own a truly custom, never-lived-in modern ranch, thoughtfully designed and masterfully built as a forever home. Completed in 2025, this sprawling residence blends timeless materials with high-performance systems, offering coveted single-level living on just over five acres in Westerlo's picturesque countryside, surrounded by open land and Catskill Mountain scenery. Despite being newly constructed, the home carries a sense of warmth and permanence, feeling exceptionally quiet and filled with natural light. This modern farmhouse-inspired executive ranch balances open flow with intuitive, comfortable living. Features include geothermal HVAC, commercial-grade mechanical systems, smart home functionality, wide-plank white oak flooring with natural pine trim and finishes, a gourmet kitchen, a custom stone fireplace, a walk-in butler's pantry, and a beautifully appointed formal laundry room with cabinetry. The primary suite is thoughtfully connected to an oversized walk-in closet with island. Four bedrooms (including a flexible office or guest space) and 2.5 baths complete the main level. The full basement offers approximately 9-foot ceilings with dual access from the garage and rear patio, presenting exceptional potential for future finished living space. Additional highlights include a three-car attached garage with 13-foot ceilings, new well and septic, and nearly every major component of the home carrying a one-time transferable warranty, providing outstanding peace of mind. Located approximately 30 minutes from downtown Albany and the New York State Thruway, under 40 minutes to Hunter Mountain, and about an hour to Saratoga Springs, this home offers both privacy and accessibility. From its quiet strength and natural light to its thoughtful design and enduring materials, this home delivers a rare sense of comfort, permanence, and ease.
