Set just steps from Tillson Lake and framed by the quiet landscape at the base of the Shawangunk Mountains, this newly built contemporary home offers a rare combination of modern design, thoughtful construction, and a setting that feels connected to nature in every direction. Tillson Lake sits within Minnewaska State Park and spans nearly twenty five acres of water surrounded by trailheads, fishing spots, and a peaceful shoreline. The house is not technically lakefront, but it is close enough that the walk feels like part of daily life and the seasonal views of the lake and the ridge become part of the backdrop inside the home.
Completed in 2025, the house features 1855 sq. ft. on one level with a wide open central living area defined by soaring ceilings, gas fireplace, large insulated windows, and warm hardwood flooring. The kitchen and living room share the same dramatic vaulted space, enhanced by a large island, solid surface counters, generous cabinetry, stainless appliances, a french door wall oven, and an induction range. Natural light fills the main gathering area throughout the day and sliders open to a spacious back deck that overlooks the wooded edge of the property and the surrounding mountain and lake vistas. The layout places the two bedrooms on opposite ends of the home for privacy and ease. The primary suite has its own bathroom with a striking floor to ceiling slab tiled shower and a sense of calm that comes from the quiet views outside the windows. The second bedroom is near a full hallway bath, ideal for guests or use as a studio or home office. A dedicated laundry room adds to the convenience of single level living. The entire home has been spray foam insulated with electric heat pump systems for efficient heating and cooling, fresh air ERV system, and high quality windows that support energy performance while framing the outdoors. A full walkout basement, equal in size to the main level at 1855 square feet, offers considerable potential. It is already plumbed for a full bath and an efficiency kitchen which allows easy expansion for guest space, a workshop, gym, or creative workspace. The mix of black narrow slat composite and metal siding plus a seamless metal roof gives the exterior a clean, understated profile that blends into the trees and slopes around the property. Front of home is also wired for EV. From this location you are minutes from Minnewaska State Park, the Mohonk Preserve, and countless trail systems that make this part of Ulster County a destination for hiking, climbing, biking, and year round outdoor exploration. Nearby Gardiner and New Paltz offer restaurants, farm markets, and a vibrant small town culture while the hamlets of High Falls and Stone Ridge bring additional dining, shops, and community events. Kingston is a straightforward drive for arts, galleries, and the Hudson River waterfront. The home sits about 90 minutes from Manhattan which makes it equally appealing for full time living or an easy weekend retreat. Thoughtfully built, well located, and connected to some of the Hudson Valley’s most treasured outdoor spaces, this is a rare opportunity to own a modern home beside one of the region’s most peaceful lakes.

A rare opportunity to own a private retreat surrounded by the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley. Set on 26.75 serene acres, this exceptional property offers something increasingly difficult to find—privacy, natural beauty, and a remarkable connection to the surrounding wilderness. Just a short hike away, trail access to the Awosting Reserve opens up thousands of acres of wilderness to explore. Property boasts a winding landscape of mature forest, meandering stone walls, a year-round stream, and a picturesque pond with its own waterfall creates a setting that feels wonderfully removed from the everyday. Thoughtfully positioned within this landscape, the Contemporary Craftsman home is beautifully built with natural woods inside and out, giving it a warmth and character that feel perfectly at home in its surroundings.
Inside, walls of windows bring the outdoors in and fill the home with natural light. The sunken living room, anchored by a stone fireplace and surrounded by windows, offers an inviting place to gather while enjoying views of the surrounding woods. Three bedrooms and three baths provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests.
Outdoor living is equally special. Two screened porches, including one overlooking the pond, and stone patios extend the living space outdoors, offering peaceful places to take in the property and enjoy the changing seasons.
