A humble tiny 400sqf Wabi Sabi inspired cabin perched on the hill overlooking woodland, stream fed ponds and wild flower meadow that are filled with all walks of lives. Drive through the scenic highways and up the meandering unpaved private road, there it is sitting quietly for over 40 years in secluded 18+ acres of western Catskills land surrounded by lush forest that provides never ending seasonal changes.

|| Solitude and tranquility in nature ||
Koya is a Japanese word for a tiny hut. This cabin is exactly that and a little more. It is a peaceful retreat to wind down, a cocoon to step away from it all and a home for those who wish to live closer in harmony with nature. This studio with 1 full bath and a loft has open-concept layout and yet offers a sense of privacy. Limewash painted walls add warmth and textures throughout the cabin.

This loft may be small in size, but unapologetically unique.

The east facing roofed porch offers undistracted 180 degree view of the land with bright morning light. This is a place to be after slowly brewing your coffee or tea (And yes, varieties of coffee and tea, both also in decaf, will be waiting for you). In the evening when the moon rises and stars shine, come gather around a wooden picnic table under string lights for dinner.

|| The land ||
- Natural spring streams throughout the open field
- Spring fed ponds in 3 sizes
- Wooden benches by the pond
Rolling hills of grass field surrounded by evergreens and deciduous tree woodland. Small meadows of wild flowers and plants add colors throughout the year. Standing here listening to the sound of trickling water of small streams feels like worlds away from everything.
