41 Adler Road, Chichester, NY 12416

The Chichester RetreatAt the end of a quiet dead-end road, down a lane that feels like a secret, sits a property that rewards the patient. Set on three private acres that dissolve into state land -- and beyond that, endless woodland -- this nearly 1,600-square-foot cabin retreat has the rare quality of feeling genuinely away.The main residence is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home that earns the word chic without abandoning its Catskills roots. The current owners have updated it with a careful hand: the kitchen offers stone countertops, painted cabinetry in a rich finish, and newer appliances -- everything in its right place. The eat-in dining area sits at the heart of it, the kind of spot where dinner conversation runs long and no one minds. Just beyond the dining room, the screened porch beckons. Summer nights were made for this -- open air, soft light, the sounds of the woods just close enough.The living room is generous and grounded, anchored by a stone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling wood detailing that wraps the space in warmth. Cabin fever, in the best possible sense. Two bedrooms down the hall are quietly comfortable, sized for full or queen beds, and share a full bath that has been updated with a modern sensibility. At the far end, the primary suite opens up -- flooded with natural light from multiple exposures, with room for a king bed and then some. The en suite bath finishes the picture: serene, designed, a small luxury at the end of the day.Outside, a custom-built 315 sq ft ADU rounds out the offering. The studio comes with a full bath and kitchenette and wears its versatility well -- overflow accommodations for guests who appreciate their own space, a dedicated work-from-home setup, or the makings of a music or art studio. The bones are there; the vision is yours. Opportunity for rental income could be explored with this structure.What sets this property apart in equal measure are the gardens. Designed by the seller, an owner of a garden design company out of NYC, he brings professional expertise to the craft -- the grounds unfold in waves of perennials, a landscape that changes with the seasons and makes the whole of the acreage feel intentional, alive.Trails leave directly from the property. Phoenicia is moments away. Hunter, Windham, and Belleayre are all within easy reach. This is a home that holds its own in every season -- and gives you good reason to find out.
