Introducing Roaring Kill Retreat. Tucked among the trees on a secluded parcel with its own stream, this light-filled 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is a modern Catskills escape where thoughtful, modern architecture meets handcrafted design. Abundant natural light pours through expansive windows, creating the feeling of a treehouse, while warm interiors balance clean lines with inviting character. The newly renovated kitchen is a standout, featuring custom cabinetry, porcelein checkerboard flooring, and a one-of-a-kind backsplash handcrafted by the homeowner, a local artist. Custom built-in cabinetry in the dining room adds warmth and functionality, while a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space. A generous back deck and private balcony off the primary bedroom place you right in the forest canopy--perfect for entertaining, morning coffee, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. Partly wooded and exceptionally quiet, the property offers seasonal mountain views, nearby stream, and walkable access to nearby trailheads leading to some of the Catskills' most beloved hikes and waterfalls. Ideally situated between Plattekill Falls and Roaring Kill, it's also just 20 minutes from Colgate Lake and only 15 minutes to Hunter Mountain. Nature lovers will appreciate the property's remarkable wildlife, with more than 70 bird species observed from the home, including nesting Barred Owls. The surrounding woods and stream offer opportunities for mushroom foraging, while spring brings the unforgettable courtship displays of American Woodcocks nearby. Throughout the seasons, the landscape is constantly changing--from vibrant autumn foliage and mountains that glow red at sunset to soft pink evening skies created by the mountain elevation. In winter, Roaring Kill Retreat becomes an especially cozy escape, with snowy forest views best enjoyed beside the fire.
