Grab this Enchanting Woodstock “Curved Space” Estate

By inside + out | November 17, 2022

Our editor’s pick for fascinating real estate currently on the market is this unusual “Curved Space” gem! The creative spirit of the Catskills has taken up residence at 117 Raycliffe Drive in Saugerties NY. Set on 8.33 acres on a hilltop amidst the trees, this home feels as though it grew there, fed by a forest with an appreciation for both whimsy and beauty.

In reality, it sprang from the ingenious mind of its designer, filmmaker Hilary Harris, whose work has been featured at The Metropolitan Museum. The first thing you notice on approach is the striking green roof which has undulations as opposed to roof lines.

A gorge with a stream and waterfall cuts through the property, providing calming, magical sounds, and the opportunity to cool off when it’s hot. Of course, there is a secluded yurt AND a treehouse! How could there not be here? The siding of the house and the studio/guest house blends seamlessly with the surroundings.

The multi-directional staircase is the piece-de-resistance of the composition, tying several levels together and guiding the eyes to the many treats built into each space.

Inside there is artistry everywhere: curved walls, natural materials, windows that provide passive solar heat, views of the mountains and woods, and accentuate the organic shapes of the design.
