An exceptional example of sustainable architecture by Lee Friedman, this thoughtfully designed home in the Western Catskills showcases his signature innovation and commitment to energy-efficient living. The structure incorporates **passive heating and cooling**, using natural light, airflow, and insulation to maintain comfort year-round without reliance on mechanical systems. **Solar panels** further reduce the property’s environmental footprint and utility costs, making this a smart choice for those seeking an alternative energy lifestyle. The home is sited on a quiet country road and includes a **second, separately deeded 1-acre parcel**, offering additional **road frontage** and future flexibility. The larger parcel is beautifully landscaped and bordered by a **clear, year-round creek**, adding to the natural beauty. Located in the **Town of Kortright**, this property benefits from the clean air, scenic views, and recreational access the **Western Catskills** are known for. Hiking, fishing, and nature exploration are all close by, with local towns offering farmers markets, cultural events, and essential amenities. The setting supports both full-time residency and weekend use, with the home itself offering a peaceful, modern retreat that doesn’t sacrifice sustainability for comfort. This is a rare opportunity to own a property that reflects both environmental values and architectural excellence in one of the most beautiful corners of upstate New York.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
