Home Details for 506 Beechwoods Road

Welcome to the Beechwoods, a disarmingly bucolic pocket of Sullivan County where cattle laze beside a stream and sheep forage across rolling hills. Here, in the agrarian calm high above Callicoon, the Beechwoods House looks out across what is surely one of the most beautiful views in all the Catskills: undulating farmland, wooded hills and an extraordinary expanse of sky. Set within 7.85 acres of meadow and native plantings, the home was designed around this panorama, with its main living spaces facing west toward the sunset. Although custom built in 2022, the house feels as though it has stood here for generations. Weathered wood, radiant heated cobblestone floors and rooms filled with patina give it the soul of an old Catskills homestead. Its open layout and connection to the outdoors are distinctly modern. At the center is an expansive living room anchored by a sleek gas fireplace and oversized hearth. Wood wrapped walls and ceilings create an enveloping warmth, while broad windows frame the countryside. A built in nook offers a cozy corner for reading. Doors open to outdoor spaces on two sides. One looks west across the hills, an idyllic setting for dinner as light moves over the valley. The other is an intimate retreat surrounded by native plantings. In summer, open both sides to let the breeze and birdsong move through the house. In winter, heated stone floors and fireside seating make it wonderfully cocooning. The kitchen has the collected character of a French country house, with wood cabinetry, open shelving, skirted worktables, an apron front sink and patinated materials. There is room for a dining table overlooking the landscape. A mudroom, laundry area and half bath sit beyond, while a separate terrace creates another place for morning coffee. The bedrooms extend along two wings for a natural sense of privacy. One hall leads past a cozy den to the primary suite, where the bath pairs warm wood with a freestanding soaking tub, separate shower and water closet. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath occupy the opposite wing. A concealed stairway leads to one of the home’s most unexpected spaces: a generous loft beneath the pitched roof. Warm wood ceilings follow the roofline, while windows bring in light and treetop views. It feels like a private world of its own, equally suited to a screening room, library, studio, home office or guest suite. Outside, covered terraces, slatted pergolas and garden paths give way to meadow alive with grasses and wildflowers. Adirondack chairs at the edge of the hill invite you to take in the western view. The property feels wonderfully private yet expansive, with the house almost hidden within the landscape. Despite its seclusion, the Beechwoods is just ten minutes from Callicoon. Visit the farmers’ market, Callicoon Wine Merchant, Black Walnut or the historic Callicoon Theater. Nearby Seminary Hill offers cider, food and views across the Delaware River Valley. The river invites swimming, kayaking, tubing and fishing throughout the warmer months. Ten minutes away, Jeffersonville is home to Sullivan Sundries, a destination for coffee, provisions and home goods. Bethel Woods brings concerts and festivals to the historic Woodstock site, while Narrowsburg, Livingston Manor and Roscoe offer restaurants, breweries, antiquing and fly fishing. Just 2.5 hours from New York City, 506 Beechwoods offers a rare combination of deep quiet and genuine connection. Offered furnished, its layered interiors feel immediately inviting: removed from everything when you want to be, with some of the Catskills’ best food, culture and small town life close at hand.
