Hollow Sky

Hollow Sky is a private 2-bedroom, 2-bath modern retreat set on approximately 110 acres in Preston Hollow, NY. The home is designed for quiet stays, scenic views, and a high-comfort indoor/outdoor experience.

The property has a meaningful family history and was intentionally preserved, restored, and reimagined as a private modern retreat rather than being sold off or overdeveloped. The goal behind Hollow Sky is to protect the privacy, views, fields, ponds, and natural beauty of the land while giving guests a refined place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the Catskills in a more personal way.

The main bedroom includes a king bed, dedicated desk/sitting area, smart TV, and ensuite bath with soaking tub, glass shower, radiant heated floors, and mountain views. The guest bedroom includes a daybed with a pull-out trundle that opens into a king-size sleeping arrangement. The guest bath features radiant heated floors and a large double shower.

The living area includes a gas fireplace, large smart TV, Sonos surround sound, sectional seating, automated shades, and open access to the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped for longer stays, with stainless appliances, cookware, coffee options, and basic hosting essentials.

Outside, guests can enjoy the hot tub, outdoor shower, grill, decks, outdoor dining, lounge seating, firepit area, koi ponds, fields, wooded areas, and private walking/hiking areas throughout the property.

The property is very private and nature-focused. There are no visible neighboring homes from the main guest areas, and the setting is intentionally quiet. Wildlife, changing weather, gravel roads, uneven outdoor terrain, bugs, snow, mud, and limited cell service in the surrounding area are all part of the rural Catskills experience.

The home has Wi-Fi, smart TVs, heating and air conditioning through mini-splits, radiant heated bathroom floors, and an EV charger. Cell service may be limited on the drive in, so guests should save directions and check-in details before arrival.

Guests will have private access to the home and designated outdoor guest areas. Some service visits may occur during a stay, including hot tub care, landscaping, snow removal, or pond/property maintenance.

Guests have private access to the home and designated guest areas across the property, including the decks, hot tub, firepit, koi ponds, fields and private walking areas. Guests should remain on identifiable trails and guest-accessible portions of the property.

Brief service visits may occasionally occur for hot-tub care, landscaping, snow removal, trash pickup, pond care or necessary property maintenance.
