Mountain View House: Wurtsboro, NY

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Welcome to Mountain View Home, a charming and custom crafted log home with cabin vibes, soaring ceilings, and an abundance of natural light streaming in from a tall wall of windows. Two things I really love about this property are that it includes deeded lake access to Yankee Lake - in my opinion one of the most beautiful lakes in this region - and the privacy it offers with almost 8 acres tucked away down a newly paved private road followed by a long circular driveway. The property itself has the best of both worlds, being surrounded by established woods but also with a wide sweep of lawn off to the left of the house that nicely features a fire pit for evening gatherings under the stars. You’ll bask in the peace and tranquility of being in this forest oasis.

Upon entering the front door, you are greeted by a handy mudroom allowing for easy drop off your winter gear (or lake gear mid-summer!). Just beyond, you’ll find an easy flow between spaces with this main level encompassing a spacious living room, dining area and nicely sized kitchen. With a tiered kitchen island overlooking both the living and dining areas, the chef in your crew will always be part of the conversation. A Harman woodstove is central in this open concept space and provides crackling warm fires that supplement the heating system throughout the colder months. This great room is graced with a beautiful views of the outdoors with plenty of windows and a few doors that lead to an expansive deck extending out on three sides of the home.

Also on this main level, there is a short hallway behind the woodstove that leads to two amply sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. The primary bedroom with a cathedral ceiling can be found upstairs and is extremely spacious, easily able to accommodate a king-sized bed. A super-sized walk-in closet is a another great feature in this room and conveniently also houses a washer and dryer. This bedroom has its own bathroom plus a fabulous, lofted area overlooking the main level below. The current owner has this space set up as an office but it could also be configured as a cozy lounge area for daydreaming the afternoon away.

Beyond the charm of this home, it has also been wonderfully maintained and offers some “nice to have” conveniences including a whole house generator, a basement workshop, solar panels (owned) which significantly reduce the electrical expense, a one car garage plus plenty of parking for guests on the circular driveway.

This home is part of the Yankee Lake Preservation Association with a nominal annual fee and provides access to a recently updated community room and opportunities for many indoor and outdoor activities.

Just 90 minutes from the GWB makes this one an easy weekend getaway or, if you’re so lucky to still have a work from home option, spend even more time here. You have some great restaurants and shops in trendy Mountain Dale just a 15 minute drive away – Forage and Gather, Willow and Post, and High Voltage Catskills to name a few – and plenty more as well as basic necessities in Wurtboro’s downtown even closer by.
