Enjoy the view on the Hunter Mountain ski slopes from the living room with cathedral ceilings and oversized windows. Warm up in the hot tub after a day of skiing or hiking, cozy up by the fireplace or play a game of foosball in the game room while watching your favorite sports. Kids & teens enjoy their own lounge and play area with separate TV and toys. We were lucky to find this magnificent space with incredible views and designed it as a perfect luxury family or friends retreat. After enjoying it ourselves for a while, we love to share the joy with others who are looking for a vacation in nature, a beautiful spot to relax or a comfortable spot to work remotely. Sitting on 10+ rolling acres, this spacious (3500 sq ft) chalet has magnificent views of the Hunter Mountain ski slopes from floor to ceiling windows. A large sofa area is a perfect place to enjoy the views as well as the wood-burning fireplace (firewood provided). A retro turntable, plenty of books and green plants throughout make this feel like home. Fully equipped open kitchen with professional Wolf range (6 burners) , All-Clad cookware, Japanese Global knives, a Blentec blender and more. Well-stocked coffee bar with a top-of-the-line Mochamaster coffee pot, a burr grinder, Nespresso machine (we provide a starter set of Nespresso pods and coffee beans) and a few other alternative coffee makers. There is also an electric water kettle, several kinds of tea and a toaster. The grand island and open dining area which seats 12 people comfortably provide plenty of room for entertaining. The house is comfortable and exudes luxury throughout. Designer furniture (B&B Italia and DWR sofa’s, Poltrona frau armchairs, DWR cabinet... ) complement high-end finishes such as limestone radiant heated floors, marble countertops and handmade Italian ceramic tiles.
