Log Home Living Draws Metropolitan New York Couple to Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York, According to Coldwell Banker Timberland Properties
Margaretville, NY (PRWEB) March 27, 2014 -- When Joanne and Brian McHugh were looking for a vacation home in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York, their choice of a log home was a "natural" one. "We love the scenic beauty of the mountains," said Ms. McHugh, "and choosing a log home allowed us to bring the outdoors into our home."
The desires of this Long Island couple comes as no surprise to Catskills real estate broker Eric Wedemeyer. "Log homes remain a popular choice for home buyers," said Wedemeyer whose Coldwell Banker Timberland Properties agency has four offices in the region. "The beauty of the natural wood interior coupled with our spectacular settings is a great combination." Wedemeyer added that log homes also appeal the buyers due to their environmental sensitivity. "It's about being green and comfortable."
According to Wedemeyer, there is no single style of log home. "Log homes can be customized to meet the owner's unique desires, and the styles can vary widely--though they are all beautiful." The company has several log homes currently listed for sale, representing different personal tastes.
One, located near the upstate New York community of Andes, is listed for $999,000. The listing agent, John Tufillaro, describes the home as “very unique home with amazing spaces vaulting nearly 30 feet up from the floor” and features “Brazilian hardwood floors, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, three fireplaces, a massive wall of glass windows opens up to the incredible mountain views, and and an 815 square foot teak deck.” Located on 29 acres within one of the area's most prestigious and pristine 478 acre developments in the Central Catskills, setting is very private.

Another and more rustic approach to log home living is a home located in the Catskill Mountain community of Meredith, near Delhi. Recently reduced to $595,000, the home is described by listing agent Alex Exarchos as "this 3400 sq. ft. contemporary home is splendid country living at its best". With 3374 square feet, including five bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home is privately set on more than 25 acres of land.

Log home buyers often seek a private setting to connect with nature and a Margaretville area home typifies this feel. Located in eastern Delaware County, the four bedroom, three bath log home was recently listed for $399,000. Located in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, the home is described by listing agent Sean O'Shaugnessy as one that "will certainly suit the needs of those looking for privacy, big views, and a desirable location.” Inside, the “open living area on the main floor will accommodate friends, family and an adorable country wood stove to get cozy by.”
