59 Windbourne Lane, Saugerties, NY 12477 (MLS # 20265650)

Welcome to The Windbourne, a rare Catskills sanctuary where architecture, nature, and modern living come together. Privately nestled on 16.8 acres of pristine woodland with extraordinary Blue Mountain views, this ~4,786-square-foot, three-story-plus-attic contemporary designer home offers five-plus bedrooms, multiple living spaces, and a profound connection to nature. Designed and transformed by its architect and photographer owners, The Windbourne responds directly to its extraordinary landscape. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens the principal living spaces toward the mountains, while private bedrooms look into the surrounding woods. Reclaimed wood, concrete, steel, travertine, and terracotta bring warmth and character to the contemporary architecture. Reached by ~half a mile of private road, the property offers rare seclusion less than 15 minutes from Woodstock and Saugerties. The dramatic main level features a 25-foot-high living room with exposed truss ceilings, custom-engineered industrial ceiling fan, remotely controlled Lutron shades, original cast-iron wood stove, vintage record-player area, and a 6' x 10' projection home theater with surround sound. A state-of-the-art kitchen flows into the dining area, with a flexible space for a piano or bar. A bedroom/office/studio and full bath with rain shower and clawfoot tub complete the level. Glass doors open to a ~1,200-square-foot wraparound deck with custom pergola, outdoor dining, speakers, and vintage copper outdoor shower, all positioned to capture mountain views. The upper level includes two spacious primary bedrooms with custom wooden daybed nooks, built-in shelving, Balinese closet doors, and woodland views. A yoga and contemplation room with fireplace and mountain views provides additional living space and can also function as a bedroom. The primary bath combines travertine and terracotta with soaking tub, dual sinks, and a magnificent mosaic steam shower with rain shower and built-in bench. The attic offers additional flexible space with custom-built daybed and storage and direct access to a ~1,500-square-foot flat rooftop with elevated mountain views and potential for a hot tub, subject to approvals. Fully paid-for solar panels occupy approximately half of the roof, providing on-site renewable electricity and greater energy independence. Known as The Cove, the ground level is a completely separate two-bedroom residence with its own entrance. Ideal for guests, extended family, private use, or rental use, it includes a gourmet kitchen, living and dining areas, designer spa bath, handcrafted Northernlight Finnish cedar sauna, built-in whirlpool jacuzzi, rainfall shower, and custom reclaimed-wood vanity. The living room features a 6' x 8' projection home theater, reclaimed shelving, and freestanding fireplace. Wall-to-wall kitchen windows frame the mountains, while two outdoor porches extend living into the landscape. The grounds include lawn, outdoor dining, fire pit, wooded privacy, and a private path to a small pond. A secluded wooded area offers potential for a private pool setting, subject to approvals. Designed for year-round comfort, the home features radiant heat throughout, Mitsubishi split units in every room for supplemental heating and summer cooling, and natural cellulose insulation between floors for sound separation. A two-car garage with remotely controlled doors provides convenient parking, with interiors finished in reclaimed local pine. Surrounded by wildlife and the sounds of nature, yet close to the restaurants, galleries, music, shopping, and culture of Woodstock and Saugerties, The Windbourne is a truly distinctive Catskills property--an uncommon combination of architectural character, substantial acreage, mountain views, flexible living spaces, and exceptional privacy. You may arrive looking for a property and leave having found your sanctuary.
