Property Description
Designed by award-winning architect Marc Thorpe, Forest Edge is the fifth solar-powered residence built by Edifice Upstate in the Catskills. Perched on a secluded 2.6-acre hilltop overlooking a peaceful pond, the home embodies essentialist living — modern, efficient, and deeply connected to nature.
Clad in FSC-certified pine, the house features radiant floor heating, an open living-kitchen-dining plan, and a 25-foot cantilevered steel deck reaching into the forest canopy. Walls of glass frame the treetops, while a pellet stove anchors the cozy, year-round interior.
Upstairs, the primary suite opens onto a private deck with hillside views, joined by two guest rooms and a serene bath finished in matte penny tile and a soaking tub. An outdoor shower tucked beside the house offers a refreshing connection to the landscape.
Powered by 26 monocrystalline solar panels on a 15 k Sol-Ark inverter with a lithium-ion LifePo battery bank, the home generates 38 kWh of electricity daily and stores enough energy for five-seven days off-grid — no electricity bills. Easily connectable to the grid for those who prefer, the system is fully integrated and low-maintenance. Currently supplemented by propane to ensure no strain on battery.
The 2.6-acre site offers total privacy yet remains minutes from North Branch, Callicoon, Roscoe, and Livingston Manor. A fire pit just off the deck invites starlit evenings, while a grassy clearing below opens to views of the house above and the surrounding forest.
Forest Edge is a rare synthesis of architecture and ecology — design-forward, self-sustaining, and quietly extraordinary.
