Welcome to your dream escape—a beautifully crafted log cabin perched atop a serene 7.4-acre site with breathtaking mountain and valley views. This custom-built home, located just 2 miles from the charming village of Warwick, offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. With over 2,700 square feet living space, the cabin features 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath and 4 wraparound porches that provide panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These porches provide guests with unparalleled vantage points to take in the surrounding natural beauty, whether it’s the sunrise over the valley, the golden glow of sunset across the mountains, or the peaceful stillness of the wooded landscape. They’re perfect for sipping morning coffee, enjoying an evening glass of wine, or simply unwinding with a book while soaking in the tranquil atmosphere. The porches also offer ample space for outdoor dining, lounging, or gathering with loved ones, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor serenity. This cabin also features a dedicated work-from-home space, complete with a desk and chair, offering a quiet and comfortable area to stay productive while enjoying the surroundings.



Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a spacious and inviting living area that feels like the heart of the home. The gorgeous wood flooring, paired with neutral tones, creates a warm and welcoming ambiance. Comfortable sofas and chairs are perfectly arranged to encourage gathering, whether it’s for cozy evenings by the wood-burning stove, family game nights, or simply relaxing with a good book. The vaulted ceilings add to the open and airy feel, while large windows flood the space with natural light, bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside.



The open country kitchen is a perfect blend of functionality and charm, offering an abundance of counter space and a thoughtful layout that brings everyone together. It features a large dining table with seating for everyone, additional space at the breakfast bar, and a bay window that fills the space with natural light. The kitchen is equipped with updated, modern appliances, including a wine fridge, large cooktop, and white finishes that complement the home’s design. A spacious pantry provides ample storage, and the open layout seamlessly connects the kitchen to the living and dining areas, allowing everyone to stay connected while cooking, dining, or relaxing. This kitchen is truly the heart of the home, designed for comfort, convenience, and memorable gatherings.



Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a tranquil retreat featuring a king-sized bed, a large bay window overlooking the serene woods, ample closet space, and an en-suite bathroom with modern fixtures. This private haven offers the perfect space to unwind and recharge while enjoying the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Downstairs, to the right of the home, you’ll find the second bedroom with full-sized bunk beds, perfect for kids or additional guests. Across from the second bedroom is the third bedroom, which includes a cozy queen-sized bed.



Step outside and immerse yourself in the ultimate outdoor retreat. A large deck provides ample space to gather, whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee, an alfresco meal, or stargazing under the night sky. Comfortable sitting areas are thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the serene surroundings, while a fire pit offers the perfect spot for roasting marshmallows and sharing stories. For an added touch of luxury, unwind in the hot tub as you take in the stunning views of the natural landscape. This outdoor space is designed to bring relaxation and connection, making it an ideal setting for creating unforgettable memories with family and friends.

Exploring Warwick and the lower Hudson Valley by car is easy and rewarding, with scenic country roads connecting orchards, wineries, and charming hamlets. Route 94 and local byways offer beautiful drives through rolling farmland, especially during apple season and fall foliage.



Parking is simple and usually free, whether you’re visiting a farm, a market, or the walkable downtown. The landscape is especially stunning in autumn, but each season brings its own charm to your drives.



Wildlife is often seen along the roadside, so be mindful at dawn and dusk. Cell service is reliable, but downloading maps is helpful for exploring the countryside. With your own car, every outing in Warwick is a chance to enjoy the region’s festive spirit and rural beauty.
