Bethel Pines is a meticulously curated 10-acre sanctuary nestled in the heart of the Catskills. Located just under two hours from NYC, this fully furnished and turn-key property offers both a meditative escape and a vibrant base for exploring the boundless natural beauty of the region. More than a home, it’s an experience—a retreat designed to remind you of the art of slowing down and living well. Designed by NYC’s INC Architecture, this home is a masterwork of sophistication and comfort, where architecture and nature exist in effortless conversation. Inside you’ll find soaring 30-foot cathedral ceilings and walls of windows that frame serene forest views, flooding the open-concept living space with natural light while the wood burning stove keeps you warm and cozy in the winter months. The chef’s kitchen is a prime example of function and style featuring Reform oak cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a sprawling quartz island with additional drawer refrigeration—ideal for effortless entertaining or weekend brunches. Retreat to the main-level primary suite, where an ensuite bathroom and private terrace with an outdoor shower create a spa-like escape. The ground floor is thoughtfully rounded out with a stylish foyer, half bath, coat closet, and laundry room, while upstairs, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and versatile lofted spaces, ideal for a home office, reading nook, or creative hideaway, offer room to work and unwind. A charming ladder-accessed nook adds a touch of whimsy and is perfect for quiet contemplation. Outside, you can gather around the fire pit under the stars, rejuvenate in the infrared sauna, or follow the private, meandering trail that leads to your secluded streamside yoga platform and loops around the wooded parcel. The expansive terrace is perfect for hosting summer dinners or spending mornings with nothing but birdsong and fresh air. Practical upgrades include a whole-house generator, landscaping, wood shed, sauna, and cleared land for a future garage, pool, or accessory dwelling unit. The prime location places you at the crossroads of culture and nature, just minutes from Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, Jeffersonville’s charming Main Street, and the vibrant energy of nearby towns like Livingston Manor, Narrowsburg, and Callicoon. Whether you’re drawn to the Upper Delaware’s pristine waters or the region’s thriving arts and culinary scene, this home offers a rare balance of solitude and connection—a place to live fully and intentionally.
