In the Catskills, barn architecture gets a contemporary lift

The weathered timber siding is elevated with oversized windows

Tucked into 13 acres of forested hillside near the Catskill Mountains, this 2,600sqft residence reinterprets Hudson Valley barn architecture through a contemporary lens. Listed for $1,550,000, the three-bedroom, three-bath home sits high above its approach, surrounded by exposed rock formations, mature trees and long mountain views that anchor it within the landscape.

The design draws on regional materials and craftsmanship — weathered timber siding, wide-plank floors, plastered bathrooms and stone tiling — creating a palette that feels both natural and intentional. Inside, an 18-foot ceiling and expansive glazing flood the open-plan living area with light, while exposed beams frame views of the changing seasons beyond.

The interiors bridge old and new: antique finds from across the Hudson Valley sit alongside modernist furniture and custom millwork. A sculptural staircase leads to a lounge with built-in shelving and a wet bar designed for quiet evenings. The primary suite is secluded, joined by two guest bedrooms that extend the home’s sense of calm and retreat.
