Whether you’re seeking contemplation in a New-Age spa or the calm of fly fishing, contemporary galleries or antiquing, the Catskill Mountains – a two hour drive from Manhattan – will gently impose its slower pace on anyone who visits. Adjacent to Woodstock’s Comeau property, a land conservancy of 76 acres of meadows, woods, playing fields and swimming holes, you’ll find this home perfectly poised between town and country. Woodstock – a storied, arty town with 18th-century roots, is at your doorstep, with a cafe and wine shop just around the corner, and bars, restaurants, shops and galleries just a short walk away. Further afield you’ll find scenic roads winding through a landscape exquisitely tuned to the changing of the seasons dotted with picturesque towns, orchards and farmers’ markets. The home is designed for relaxed conviviality, with its well-equipped kitchen and alfresco dining spot on the large deck. Sonos speakers throughout the house will help maintain the mood, and a private home office offers a new definition of remote working. Home truths: *Long stays are the order of the day, with a minimum of 30 nights *A car will give you the freedom to explore the Catskills *Nights in are provided for with a 65” Roku TV (Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Hulu and Netflix)
