The Pool House: A Modern Mountain Escape in the Catskills. Tucked near the top of the mountain above the charming hamlet of Halcottsville, halfway between Margaretville and Roxbury, this modern and airy retreat offers a rare blend of clean architectural lines, warm natural materials, and the elusive sense of peace that only the mountains can provide. Drive past waterfalls, a beloved general store, and a picturesque kayaking lake, and arrive at this special and serene sanctuary where being high in the Catskills is defined by spa-like tranquility and panoramic views. Set on 5 private acres, this updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features solid oak floors, a sun-drenched open layout, and a striking wall of windows that frames the pristine landscape. The kitchen and baths are fresh and thoughtfully modernized, while a sleek metal roof adds both style and durability. Step outside to discover the seductive in-ground heated pool , and cozy firepit surrounded by nature, perfect for unwinding under the stars. If upbeat is more your speed, the in-ground trampoline is sure to keep the party jumping. The location is ideal for year round fun: just minutes from skiing at Belleayre or Plattekill, golfing, hiking trails, and some of the Catskills’ most vibrant towns and farmers markets. Whether you're looking for a peaceful weekend retreat or a full-time mountain home, this property offers a rare combination of beauty, design, and serenity.
