62 Colonels Drive, Hunter, NY 12442

Property Description

Walk from your front door to the base lodge at Hunter Mountain, watch the chairlift climb, and follow skiers carving down the slopes--all from a home that puts the mountain experience front and center. With outstanding views of the ski trails, chairlift, and Hunter tubing park, 62 Colonels Drive offers an extraordinary setting for your Catskills escape. A striking three-story wall of glass greets your arrival, framed by lush landscaping and inviting outdoor relaxation spaces. The gravel driveway accommodates six or more vehicles or an RV. Inside, natural light bathes soaring interiors, while expansive windows reveal mountain scenery at every turn. Renovated down to the studs by the current owners, this meticulously maintained home was thoughtfully designed to maximize the views and the pleasure of gathering together. Custom details created for the home by a local artist lend an expressive, eclectic beauty. Copper countertops and a matching backsplash complement richly colored custom kitchen cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. The staircase, beams, and truss timbers are locally milled Hemlock which pairs beautifully with the copper railings; bringing natural texture and artisanal warmth to the space. The open kitchen, great room, and dining area flow seamlessly into a second, more formal dining room with wide-plank wood flooring and its own fireplace. In the great room, deciding where to look becomes part of the pleasure: a glowing fire, snowboarders sweeping down the trails, or the chairlift carrying the next adventurers uphill. A custom television surround above the fireplace incorporates a historic Hunter image, said to portray the view that inspired the resort's original founder. The first-floor primary suite features dual closets, a freshly painted interior, and a private deck. A convenient half bath serves the common areas. Upstairs, an expansive loft captures ski-slope views in front and mountain ridgelines behind. Its broad overlook railing was specially crafted to accommodate drinks and appetizers, with room to pull up stools and enjoy the scenery. Two upstairs bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and a separate flex room with a closet offer versatile accommodations. One bedroom has its own balcony. With three bedrooms, the additional flex room, and a tremendous loft that can accommodate a sleeper sectional, there is generous room to arrange sleeping, lounging, and creative spaces around your lifestyle. An enclosed three-season porch surrounds you with three walls of windows. Leave the screens in to welcome crisp autumn air and the scent of nearby wood fires, or add the window inserts as temperatures fall and watch the first snowfall settle around you. From quiet mornings to wildlife sightings, this is a space for savoring the Catskills throughout the changing seasons. After walking home from the slopes, leave your gear in the ski-and-boot room and step directly into the sauna to unwind. One bay of the attached two-car garage is finished and heated, ideal for a gym or recreation room. The remaining oversized garage provides overhead storage and a rear access door for a mower or ATV. Split-unit air conditioning keeps summer days comfortable. Enjoy it year-round, claim your own ski-season retreat, or explore rental opportunities subject to applicable requirements. With the base lodge within walking distance and the slopes, chairlift, and tubing park in view, the Hunter Mountain lifestyle begins at your front door.
