Let us start by saying we would never tell you where to buy your home. That’s between you and the missus.
Your vacation home, on the other hand …
Do yourself a solid and consider Hudson Woods, a design-minded development of Catskills cabins now breaking ground just 100 miles north of the city.
Long real-estate-speculation story short, Upstate is a-boomin’. Close enough for an easy weekend jaunt, far enough to escape the city clamor for a proper dose of decompression en plein air.
And unlike other nearby summering haunts (cough Hamptons cough), you’ll still have enough cash left over to put the kids through college.
Hudson Woods was designed by celebrated NYC outfit Lang Architecture. It will comprise 26 fully customizable glass and timber homes on their own parcel of forest just two hours outside Manhattan.
And damnit if these pads aren’t drop dead woodsy gorgeous. Seriously, take a look.
Modern and rustic deftly married into cedar-walled cribs featuring all-mod cons and options for everything from stone-decked pools to a two-tiered treehouse.
Plus Hudson Woods has partnered with a host of Catskills craftsfolk to outfit pads with hardwood furniture, wood-fired ovens and ‘50s-style technicolor iceboxes.
Home away from home indeed.
