Custom-Built Modern Home with Dramatic Mountain Views

There are homes with views - and then there are homes built for the view. Affectionately known as Mountain Thyme, the mountain is not simply a backdrop but the defining presence of the property. From the moment you arrive, it rises dramatically into view, close enough to feel immersive, yet expansive enough to inspire.

Designed to showcase the landscape in every aspect of its architecture and layout, the home unfolds with intention and a sense of drama.

The main entry gives way to a soaring two-story open living room, where a southern exposure fills the space with natural light throughout the day, framed by expansive black Marvin windows and exposed Douglas fir beams. Large sliding glass doors open directly onto the bluestone patio, seamlessly extending the living space into the landscape. Finished concrete slab flooring grounds the space with clean, modern lines, while a high-efficiency wood stove adds warmth and character. The chef's kitchen features high-end cabinetry, custom built-ins, and generous storage - seamlessly supporting both daily living and entertaining. A spacious first-floor primary suite captures sweeping mountain views, offering a serene and private retreat, while a well-placed powder room completes the main level.

Upstairs, two generous bedrooms and a full bath offer flexible accommodations, ideal for guests or work-from-home needs. An open landing allows natural light and glimpses of the mountain beyond to drift through the upper level, deepening the home's connection to its surroundings.

The outdoor space extends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The wraparound bluestone patio offers generous room for dining, lounging, and sunset views, while a perfectly placed fire pit creates an inviting gathering area. The property features curated landscaping that enhances privacy while preserving open sight lines to the mountains. A fenced kitchen garden with raised beds invites seasonal harvests, a field of creeping thyme nods to the home's name, and ornamental plantings provide color and texture throughout the year. Additional features include a spacious storage shed and a dedicated wood shed, providing practical support for year-round outdoor living.

Thoughtful additions to the home, including a dedicated mudroom, on-demand hot water, advanced well filtration, and high-efficiency split systems, ensure comfort and functionality throughout.

Set along Traver Hollow Road - a location rich in character and local lore - the property offers both tranquility and connection. The surrounding area includes a scenic three-mile loop along a year-round stream, nearby state-protected forests, and direct views of Samuel's Point Mountain. Outdoor recreation is abundant, with biking access to the Ashokan Reservoir Rail Trail, proximity to the Esopus Creek, and less than 30 minutes to skiing at Belleayre Mountain or Hunter Mountain. The hamlet of Boiceville is just minutes away, while Woodstock, Phoenicia, Big Indian, and Kingston are all within a short drive. Rhinecliff Station - approximately 35 to 45 minutes away - provides direct train service to New York City.
