Perched on a mountaintop in the Catskills, The Valleyview is a custom log home designed to make the most of its sweeping views in every direction. With classic log construction, warm natural finishes, expansive glass, and multi-level outdoor living, this home was created as a peaceful retreat for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying the surrounding landscape.

The main level centers around a dramatic Great Room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, exposed log beams, and soaring windows that frame the mountain views beyond. The open layout connects the Great Room to the dining area and kitchen, creating a comfortable flow for everyday living, entertaining, and time with family.

The kitchen is both practical and welcoming, with an oversized island, walk-in pantry, and easy connection to the mudroom and attached garage. French doors from the dining area lead to a covered porch, extending the living space outdoors and creating a natural place for meals, conversation, and quiet moments overlooking the view.

Also on the main level, the private owner’s suite includes a full bath, walk-in closet, and access to a private deck. This creates a quiet retreat within the home, ideal for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or simply enjoying the mountain setting.

The upper level adds flexibility with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, extra storage, and space that can be adapted for guests, work, reading, or recreation. The optional lower level expands the home even further, with guest bedrooms, covered patio access, utility space, and a large bonus area with its own stone fireplace.

Designed around privacy, views, and the rhythm of mountain living, The Valleyview brings together rustic warmth, comfortable gathering spaces, and the flexibility to welcome family and guests throughout the year.
