Perched on nearly 12 private mountaintop acres, 1199 W. Highland Road isn't just a home—it's a front-row seat to one of the Catskills' most breathtaking views. From the moment you wind your way up the scenic drive, glimpses of the mountains build anticipation until you reach the main entrance, where soaring windows frame an awe-inspiring panorama. Inside, a whimsical rock-climbing wall entryway sets the tone for this playfully refined escape designed DHD Architects and Interior Design. In the open-concept great room, 16-foot cathedral ceilings rise above a wall of glass—sliding doors that open, up to 18 feet wide, erasing the boundary between indoors and out. Hand-stacked stone walls—quarried right from the land—carry through to the semi-enclosed outdoor living space, where a massive fire pit and soaring swings create an unforgettable gathering spot. Back inside, a sleek wood-burning stove anchors the lounge area, while a chef's kitchen stuns with SMEG appliances, a breakfast bar, and modern finishes. Hunter Douglas automatic solar shades provide privacy with the press of a button. Step outside to the west-facing deck with panorama views, and soak in a resort-like spa zone: an 8-person cedar sauna to the left, Bullfrog hot tub, and fire pit—all set to a backdrop of endless sunset mountain views. Four generous bedrooms occupy the private wing of the home, including a junior ensuite and a Jack-and-Jill suite with bunk capacity—ideal for hosting with ease. Each bathroom features custom finishes in brushed cement board and corrugated steel, reinforcing the home's subtle industrial undertone. Oversized windows throughout frame the surrounding forest and sky, turning every room into a living work of art. The primary suite is a true retreat with its own private entrance that has covered parking, and EV charger hookups. Inside, the spacious room has a sitting area to enjoy morning coffee, dual walk-in California Closets, and a spa-like modern bath for total indulgence. Nestled just 162?miles north of New York City, Hobart is affectionately known as the ''Book Village of the Catskills'', with a charming Main Street lined with half a dozen independent bookstores. Beyond its literary scene, Hobart's scenic setting offers hiking and biking along the Catskill Scenic Rail Trail, horseback rides at Broken Spoke Stables, and trout fishing in nearby creeks. Make sure to grab breakfast at Stamford Coffee, the pastries are delish! Whether you're dreaming of a stylish full-time residence or a curated weekend retreat, 1199 W. Highland Road invites you to breathe deeply, live fully, and reconnect with nature and yourself. Schedule a Private Showing
