1311 Wittenberg Road, Mount Tremper, NY 12457

Set well back from the road behind a handsome gated entry, this modern Catskills hideaway delivers the privacy everyone wants and the volume everyone hopes for. The approach is long and quiet; the house reveals itself slowlyâ??wrapped by trees, with sky above and room to breathe on 4.04 acres. Inside, an airy great room rises with high ceilings and broad windows that pull in daylight and treetops. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the space and gives the room an easy, year-round center of gravity. The plan flows to dining and out to the covered front porch for rainy-day coffee and a sunny deck for afternoonsâ??simple, usable spaces that invite you to linger. There are 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths across about 2,772 sq ft, giving you comfortable proportions without wasted space. Downstairs, a full basement with a finished recreation room offers the flexible square footage every Catskills buyer asks forâ??think gym, studio, media, or gear room. Practical details are dialed: central air, hot-water heat, private well and septic, plus a small storage shed for tools and toys. Built in 2002 and maintained with care, the home reads clean and contemporary without trying too hard. The setting is the star. Mature trees frame the clearing, the setback is excellent, and the gate makes arrival feel intentional. Sit on the porch when it rains; take the deck when the sun breaks; let the yard be lawn, meadow, or playfield as you like. Youre tucked away, yet perfectly placed for everything that draws people hereâ??swimming holes, trailheads, ski days, and small-town dinners.If your checklist reads high ceilings, real privacy, proper setback, and a gated approach, this one does itâ??with the kind of ease that feels rarer every year in the Catskills.
