A Spectacular Mountaintop Retreat

Property Description

Welcome home to 1080 Orchard Lane. Perched in an incredibly private mountaintop setting, this custom alpine chalet captures stunning expansive views over the Bovina and Delhi Valleys. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the home centers around a dramatic great room with a superbly crafted stone fireplace, soaring beamed ceilings, distinctive lighting, and cherry wood floors. Three sets of sliding glass doors flood the space with natural light and open to an expansive wrap-around deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with soapstone countertops, a welcoming breakfast bar, Miele appliances, an in-counter cooktop, and an under-counter wine cooler. Whether hosting a crowd or enjoying quiet mornings, this open-concept layout offers comfort, style, and functionality. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, featuring direct access to the sundeck, a gas-fired stove for added ambiance, a spa-like en suite bath with soaking tub, and a generous walk-in closet. Also on this level is a versatile library/den with a classic library ladder leading to a book loft, plus a second full bath, offering flexible space for work, reading, or guests. The lower level expands the living space to include a large lounge, two additional bedrooms, and two full baths. A dedicated game room with a pool table offers hours of entertainment, with an adjacent home theatre/media room already in progress, offering the opportunity to complete a personalized entertainment space. This property includes access to the private, spring-fed 23-acre Tunis Lake. Spend summer days swimming, paddling, or fishing, then enjoy the association’s recreational amenities, including tennis, bocce ball, basketball, and volleyball. With nearly 70 acres of shared association land, there is abundant space to explore, unwind, and immerse yourself in nature. Combining a secluded mountaintop location, dramatic valley views, quality craftsmanship, and resort-style lake amenities, this log chalet is an exceptional Catskills retreat and a rare opportunity for year-round or vacation living.
