From the Agent: "Hanne’s House is an imaginative artist’s retreat from the city set on over 46 picturesque acres in a region known for its abundance of broad rivers, rolling meadows, and far-reaching mountain views. It was originally built as a modest hunting cabin in the ’40s, and the current owner, a Danish-born multidisciplinary artist, has spent the past four decades creating an exceptionally unique home with a sprawling layout and numerous cozy moments. Every corner and detail has a story, from the countless handcrafted fireplaces to the antique doors, the multilevel decks, and the artistic and wild tree house. There are endless outdoor activities nearby, such as the Hunter and Windham ski resorts, the Windham Path for long walks with epic valley views, and several spots for wild swimming. Lunch and morning coffee at the nearby Fellow Mountain Cafe can’t be missed, and Catskill outposts like Scribner’s, Hotel Lilien, Eastwind, and Wylder are ideal spots for drinks, dinner, and any overflow of guests."
