A two-bedroom, designer cabin in Catskill, NY, is available for $895,000.
Set on 5 acres of woodlands and surrounded by mountain vistas, the home features a soaring roofline.
“Mossy Hill was designed by the award-winning firm BackCountry Huts, known for creating distinctive Scandinavian homes that prioritize low environmental impact and sustainability,” says listing agent Emily Iason of Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty. “Every structure is carefully crafted using eco-friendly materials, creating a harmonious link with the natural surroundings.”
The modern design comprises floor-to-ceiling windows; cedar, tongue-and-groove exterior siding; and a striking, black metal roof. Inside, that Scandinavian design influence continues with cedar-and-slate flooring; geothermal heating; and innovative, solar-powered skylights.
A gourmet kitchen features a solid-milled, cherry wood island and top-of-the-line appliances, including a five-burner, Samsung gas stove; a Sub-Zero fridge; and a Bosch dishwasher.
“The herringbone built-ins, custom crafted by Daniel McInerney, are a beautiful detail exemplifying the fine craftsmanship in this home,” says Iason. “I also love the skylights, which automatically open and close in response to the weather to adjust airflow and interior temperature.”
In addition to the main home, there’s a separate outdoor studio with a half-bath.
It’s “such a peaceful spot, it would make a great place for a sauna or entertainment space,” Iason says of the studio. “Scandinavian design is known for its clean simplicity and reverence for nature—the home looks as if it’s meant to be there.”
The woodland hideaway is close to the Woodstock, Saugerties, and Catskills ski resorts. And it’s under 2.5 hours from New York City.
Iason adds that “it’s also very close to Catskill Village—an artistic, welcoming, and tight-knit community” with lots of shops and restaurants.
