12 Jacob Strasse Rd Windham, NY 12496

Welcome to High Peak, an exquisite modern retreat perched high above Windham with uninterrupted views of Windham's High Peak mountain, and the surrounding mountains. Custom-built and thoughtfully designed across three expansive levels, this one-of-a-kind home is a rare blend of architectural precision, natural light, and breathtaking landscape. Sited on over 3 acres, the setting is as exceptional as the structure—complete with a tennis court, landscaped gardens, a pond, and over 2,000 square feet of flexible workshop, studio, and heated garage space. Whether you're entertaining, creating, or simply soaking in the views, this is a home that elevates every experience.
Every inch of this 5,500+ square foot home has been meticulously maintained and upgraded to meet modern standards while honoring the original artistic vision. Enter through a heated Bluestone porch into a dramatic double-height foyer. The main floor unfolds into an open-concept living space flooded with natural light—skylights, large windows, and glass doors frame the endless mountain and forest views. A sleek fireplace anchors the living room, which flows seamlessly into the dining area and a stunning sleek custom kitchen outfitted with Bertazzoni and Sub-Zero appliances, quartz countertops, and custom soft close cabinetry. A half bath and office add functionality to polish off this level. The show-stopping bespoke staircase—set against a wall of glass—is a true architectural moment, guiding you upstairs in style.
The upper level is home to a sun-drenched landing and the luxurious primary suite, where a private lounge with fireplace opens to cinematic mountain views. A sunken bedroom with custom storage built-ins and a spa-like calacatta floor to ceiling marble bath with radiant heat complete the suite. Two additional bedrooms on this level each feature ensuite baths, skylights, and ample storage. The walkout lower level includes two more bedrooms, a family room with fireplace, cedar sauna, shower, half bath, potential wet bar or wine storage, and direct access to the tennis court—perfect for guests or extended stays.
Originally built by the current owners as a year-round haven, this home was crafted with intention, privacy, and longevity in mind. Located just five minutes from the newly reimagined Windham Mountain Club and the town's thriving restaurants, shops, and all-season activities, this property is an ideal base for those seeking mountain living with modern luxury. Just 2.5 hours from NYC, this corner of the Catskills is experiencing a design-forward revival, attracting creatives, investors, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
