Retraite Isolée Catskills • Près Hunter Mountain + Salle de Jeux | Bates Ridge

Perched along a private ridge with the Catskills unfolding in every direction, Bates Ridge is an architectural retreat in quiet luxury — the kind of home where heated floors, mountain light, and considered design come together to slow everything down. A wraparound deck frames the home with a covered dining area set for ten beneath the open sky, the views shifting from emerald valleys in summer to copper-and-gold ridges in fall to snow-stilled silence in winter. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a six-panel sliding door dissolve the wall between inside and out, while soaring ceilings draw the eye upward and the landscape inward.

The main level is open and luminous, anchored by a great room where a sculptural fireplace becomes the natural gathering point. The chef's kitchen is built for serious cooking and easy entertaining — multiple ovens, a high-end coffee program, and a generous island ready for long, lingering meals. A book nook waits nearby for quieter hours, while the dining table sets the stage for the kind of dinners that stretch past midnight. Three bedrooms plus Basement Rec Room accommodate eight in restful comfort, but the primary suite is the home's true crescendo: a gas fireplace casting warm light, a shower for unhurried mornings, and a Japanese soaking tub positioned like a piece of art — the kind of bath you plan an evening around.

A lower-level rec lounge brings a different kind of pleasure entirely. Pool, foosball, bumper pool, a vintage arcade cabinet, a card table, and a cinema-scale TV turn rainy afternoons and post-dinner hours into something memorable. Beyond the property, the Catskills deliver. Hunter Mountain is minutes away for world-class skiing, snowboarding, and warm-weather adventure, and Kaaterskill Falls — one of the highest cascades in New York — rewards the short hike with cinematic payoff. In town, Tannersville's pastel Main Street offers boutique shopping, craft coffee, and farm-driven dining, while Woodstock, Phoenicia, and the Hudson Valley wineries sit within easy reach for the kind of day trips that define a Catskills escape.

Comprised of quaint towns, each with their own charming main street, upstate New York’s Hudson Valley is famed for its natural beauty and seasonal produce. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters who captured the area’s rolling hills, colorful foliage, and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains. Then, visit local farms where there’s a lot to pick: apples in the fall, strawberries in the summer, and vegetables in between.

Local attractions: Bates Ridge offers easy access to some of the Hudson Valley’s top spots—hike the cliffs and trails of Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska, explore Woodstock and Kingston’s arts and dining scenes, visit Olana and Opus 40, sip along the Shawangunk Wine Trail, and unwind by the Ashokan and Rondout Reservoirs.
