About this home

Set at the end of a long gravel driveway, The Cedar reveals itself slowly, the way special places often do. The approach winds through an open meadow and quiet woods with the home perched on a gentle hilltop overlooking ponds, rolling fields, and the soft rise of forest beyond. It's the kind of arrival that makes you pause--sunlight stretching across the land, the scent of cedar & pine in the air, and that unmistakable feeling of stepping into a world that belongs entirely to you. Though you may hear the distant hum of civilization, it becomes part of the backdrop rather than a disruption, a reminder that while you're tucked into your own private sanctuary, the world is still within reach. Wrapped in timeless cedar shake siding, the home welcomes you with a semi-wrapped covered front porch that shifts with the light throughout the day. Morning coffee tastes different here, with mist rising off the pond and deer grazing at the edge of the meadow. Evenings settle softly, the sky turning towards night as the land exhales. A breezeway connects the house to a two-car detached garage, where a side pergola creates a natural outdoor room perfect for long summer dinners, quiet reading hours, or simply watching the day drift by. Inside, the home blends rustic charm with understated country elegance. The eat-in kitchen is warm and inviting, complete with a butler's pantry and a rare indoor charcoal grill that turns even simple meals into an experience. The dining room, with its beamed ceilings, bluestone wall, and full wall of windows, feels almost suspended above the meadow. It's a room where seasons unfold right in front of you - golden fall grasses, winter's quiet hush, spring's first green, and the full, lush sweep of summer. The great room is the heart of the home, anchored by cathedral wood-beamed ceilings and a dramatic, wall-length bluestone cooking fireplace. It's a space that draws people in with evenings by the fire, long conversations that stretch late into the night, and the kind of warmth that makes guests linger. With two bedrooms and one and a half baths, the home lives comfortably and efficiently, with natural light pouring into every room and views that make even the quietest moments feel intentional. Outdoors, the 23 acres unfold like a private nature preserve. Meadows give way to wooded trails perfect for forest bathing, wandering, or simply letting your mind quiet. In the right season, the woods offer mushrooms waiting to be discovered, and the ponds attract wildlife that moves gently through the landscape. It's a property that invites exploration from morning walks to afternoon picnics, and the kind of unhurried living that feels increasingly rare. And while The Cedar feels worlds away, it sits in the heart of one of the Hudson Valley's most vibrant corridors. Just minutes up the road is a nationally recognized tennis resort, drawing players from across the country. Saugerties HITS brings equestrian energy and excitement in the summer season, filling the area with riders, spectators, and events. Golf courses are all within a short drive. The beloved swimming holes in Palenville offer clear water and natural rock formations perfect for warm summer days. Hunter and Windham Mtns are under 30 minutes & provide four seasons of outdoor adventure. And the towns of Saugerties, Catskill, and Woodstock - each with their own blend of dining, shopping, arts, and entertainment - are all just minutes away, offering everything from eateries to galleries, boutiques, and live music. The Cedar is the kind of property buyers wait for: private, sun-filled, beautifully sited, and surrounded by the best of Catskills living. It's the home that makes you move quickly, because it feels like the one you've been hoping to find. The one where nature, comfort, and lifestyle come together effortlessly.
