Set on 17 private acres with sweeping views across the Catskill and Shawangunk mountain ranges, The Outside-In House at Overlook is a place where architecture, landscape, history, and daily life come into alignment. Restored antique structures, distinctive outbuildings, gardens, ponds, pools, and gathering spaces reflect a simple guiding principle: every… Read More decision begins with the land. The home has evolved in response to its extraordinary setting. More than one hundred windows and glass doors frame changing light, weather, and distant ridgelines from nearly every room. Locally milled cherry floors, exposed wood, soapstone, limestone and bluestone create interiors that are warm, substantial, and deeply connected to their surroundings. At the heart of the home is a soaring two-story sun room centered around a heated saltwater pool. An expansive wall of windows fills the room with natural light while overlooking lush, layered gardens that unfold from the first blooms of spring through the final colors of autumn. In warmer months, open windows welcome fresh air and birdsong. As the seasons turn, the cast-iron Jøtul woodstove becomes a natural gathering place. The kitchen is generous in scale and function, with soapstone countertops, custom cabinetry, abundant storage, walk-in pantry, and a Bluestar six-burner range. As comfortable for breakfast as hosting a house full of guests, it is practical, timeless, and elegant. Four ensuite bedrooms include two spacious primary suites with panoramic views. The main-level suite opens to a bluestone terrace and includes a spa bath with natural stone finishes and a soaking tub. Upstairs, large casement windows frame mornings that often begin above a layer of mist settled across the creek valley, with an adjoining marble bath overlooking the mountains. The remaining bedrooms are complete suites, each with its own beautifully finished bath and mountain outlook. The two-bedroom guest house offers a fully independent residence, with its own kitchen, laundry, wood stove, and wide-open views. Designed with its own distinct character, it feels every bit as complete and considered as the main house. Life here unfolds well beyond the walls of the homes. The heated saltwater pool and its well-appointed pool house serve as the property's outdoor centerpiece. It is a place for unhurried afternoons under open sky, vibrant celebrations and intimate evenings alike. Complete with an entertaining kitchen, bath, laundry, and indoor and outdoor showers, the pool house makes it easy to spend the entire day outdoors. Nearby, a cedar hot tub offers a quiet place to unwind. A restored office, a separate studio, a bunkhouse, an oversized two-car garage, and a restored nineteenth-century plank barn provide spaces for work, creativity, gathering, and retreat, each with its own distinct purpose and character. The landscape has been tended with patience and care. Gardens give way to wildflower meadows. Mature trees create privacy, while stone walls quietly define the landscape. Meandering paths encourage wandering. At the pond's edge, more than one hundred hand-built steps rise through a historic stone wall. Beyond its beauty, the property has been engineered for dependable year-round living, with significant investment in mechanical systems and infrastructure. Private and deeply rooted in its setting, yet within easy reach of the Hudson Valley's most celebrated towns, acclaimed restaurants, farms, trails, and cultural destinations, The Outside-In House at Overlook offers something increasingly difficult to find. It is a place to retreat from the pace of everyday life, gather generations, and enjoy complete privacy, refined living, and an enduring relationship with one of the region's most breathtaking landscapes. The opportunity to call a place like this home is exceptionally rare. Additional visual media and property information are available upon request. Read Less
