Apple Way

"348 Apple Way – Mountain Top Forest Retreat." The last turn onto Apple Way climbs to the top of the ridge. From the driveway, the house opens to south-facing ridgelines and lush forest in every direction – a quietly significant log retreat set on 5.23 wooded acres above Tunis Lake. This is a sanctuary. A place to disconnect from the city and create the kind of memories that take root. Days begin with sunrise coffee on the deck, end with a sunset spritz over the trees, and unwind into evenings of stargazing by the warmth of the fire. The 2,864-square-foot interior is grounded, light-filled, and intentional – substantially reimagined by the current owner over 26 years, with more than half a million dollars reinvested and a level of finish rarely found at this price point in Delaware County. Three bedrooms and two baths above grade open to the long views. Two fireplaces – one a wood-stove insert – anchor the principal rooms. An enclosed porch with a dedicated work area extends the living space into the landscape and doubles as a serious studio for the work-from-anywhere professional. The walkout lower level reads as a wellness suite in its own right: bedroom, full bath, sauna, two-person soaking tub, dedicated shower, and massage room. With its own entrance, it offers real flexibility – extended family, long stays, or short-term rental income. Built for resilience. Owned solar (2024), whole-house LP generator, LP radiant heat, 1,000-foot drilled well, water purification, EV charger, and new roof (2024). Fully off-grid capable – a genuine climate haven without compromise. Elevation and siting create a microclimate that runs cool through summer without air conditioning. Deeded Tunis Lake Property Owners Association membership: private lake access for swimming, paddling, kayaking, fishing – plus tennis, bocce, basketball, playground, and the clubhouse with party room. Andes and Bovina are ten minutes away – galleries, restaurants, country stores, farm stands. Margaretville, Roxbury, and Delhi extend the cultural reach with music, golf, and the Catskills growing food scene. Belleayre and Plattekill ski areas are nearby. Albany International is ninety minutes. New York City, roughly two and a half hours. A property of this caliber rarely surfaces in Bovina Center. Furnishings available under a separate agreement.
