Secluded house in the Catskills is a modern retreat next to the Audubon Sanctuary

This tranquil Catskills property is a gateway to hundreds of acres of Audubon Sanctuary wild lands, ensuring the surrounding landscape remains pristine and preserved forever.

The property in upstate New York, located at 196 Ohland Road in Stanford, dates back to 1983 and is situated on 4 acres of private land that borders a sprawling nature reserve and has no neighbors for miles around.

The three-bedroom home has been renovated from top to bottom, with natural materials taking center stage in the soft, minimalist spaces. White oak floors, cream walls and concrete accents dominate the subtle material palette, designed to draw focus to the impressive views that surround the property, strategically framed by large picture windows.

The open-plan main floor is further enhanced by carved beams and vaulted ceilings that draw the eye through the length of the home, while the kitchen has been redesigned with white oak cabinetry and bluestone countertops that enhance the organic feel of the space.

Other improvements are less aesthetic: completely new mechanical systems have been installed, as well as energy-efficient windows and a Tesla solar roof that lowers the home’s operating costs and reduces dependence on the power grid.

The Dutchess County estate is asking $1.1 million through Annabel Taylor of Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty. Located two hours from New York City and 20 minutes from Metro North, it offers a secluded and peaceful location with easy access to urban amenities.
