Kreye pa achitèk primé Marc Thorpe, Forest Edge se senkyèm rezidans ki mache ak enèji solè ki bati pa Edifice Upstate nan Catskills. Ki chita sou yon tèt kolin izole ki gen 2.6 akre ki gade sou yon ti dlo trankil, kay la enkòpore yon vi esansyèl — modèn, efikas, e pwofondman konekte ak lanati.

Kouvri ak pye bwa pin ki gen sètifikasyon FSC, kay la gen chofaj radiyan anba anba, yon plan ouvè ki enfliyanse salon-kizin-sal manje, ak yon platfòm an asye ki fè 25 pye ki pwente nan kouvèti forè a. Murs an vè fòme tèt pyebwa yo, pandan yon fou a feyaj tache andedan an nannan, ki ofri yon anbyans cho ak konfòtab, pandan tout ane a.

Nan etaj anwo a, suite prensipal la louvri sou yon platfòm prive ak opinyon mòn, ak de chanm envite ak yon douch sere fini an karrel mat ki gen yon ben submerg. Yon douch deyò ki kache bò kay la ofri yon koneksyon rafrechisan ak peyizaj la.

Mache pa 26 panno solè monokristalin sou yon inverteur 15 k Sol-Ark ak yon bank batri liyitiyòm LifePo, kay la jenere 38 kWh elektrisite chak jou e li estoke ase enèji pou senk a sèt jou san rezo — pa gen bòdwo elektrisite. Li fasil pou konekte ak rezo a pou moun ki prefere, sistèm nan entegre nèt ak gen ti antretyen. Kounye a, li konplemante pa propane pou asire pa gen okenn presyon sou batri a.

Sit 2.6 akre a ofri total prive men toujou rete kèk minit de North Branch, Callicoon, Roscoe, ak Livingston Manor. Yon fromaj dife jis sou platfòm la envite aswè anba zetwal yo, pandan yon clearing herbe anba a ouvri pou opinyon kay la ki anlè a ak forè ki antoure a.

Forest Edge se yon sentèz ra ant achitekti ak ekoloji — yon konsepsyon avanse, ki soutni tèt li, ak silansyeuz eksepsyonèl.

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. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
