由获奖建筑师马克·索普设计的Forest Edge是Edifice Upstate在卡茨基尔山脉建造的第五座太阳能住宅。这座住宅坐落在一个2.6英亩的隐秘山顶上，俯瞰着宁静的池塘，体现了本质主义生活——现代、高效，与自然深度联结。

房屋采用了FSC认证的松木外立面，配备辐射地暖、开放式的客厅-厨房-餐厅布局，以及一座25英尺悬臂钢甲板延伸至森林树冠。玻璃墙框住了树顶景观，而一台颗粒炉则为舒适的四季室内空间提供了温暖。

在二楼，主套房通向一个俯瞰山坡的私人甲板，旁边有两个客房和一个采用哑光便士瓷砖和浸泡浴缸装饰的宁静浴室。房子旁边的小型户外淋浴为居住者提供了与自然景观的清新连接。

住宅配备了26块单晶太阳能电池板，使用15 k Sol-Ark逆变器和锂离子LifePo电池组，每天可产生38 kWh的电力，并储存足够的能量供五到七天离网使用——无需电费。系统易于连接电网，适合希望连接电网的人，且完全整合，维护成本低。目前还通过丙烷供电，以确保电池不受压力。

这片2.6英亩的土地提供完全隐私，同时距离北支流、卡利库恩、罗斯科和利文斯顿庄园仅几分钟的车程。甲板附近的火坑邀请星空下的夜晚，而下面的草坪清地则展现了房屋和周围森林的景色。

Forest Edge是建筑与生态的罕见合成——前卫设计、自我维持、安静而非凡。

Designed by award-winning architect Marc Thorpe, Forest Edge is the fifth solar-powered residence built by Edifice Upstate in the Catskills. Perched on a secluded 2.6-acre hilltop overlooking a peaceful pond, the home embodies essentialist living — modern, efficient, and deeply connected to nature.

Clad in FSC-certified pine, the house features radiant floor heating, an open living-kitchen-dining plan, and a 25-foot cantilevered steel deck reaching into the forest canopy. Walls of glass frame the treetops, while a pellet stove anchors the cozy, year-round interior.

Upstairs, the primary suite opens onto a private deck with hillside views, joined by two guest rooms and a serene bath finished in matte penny tile and a soaking tub. An outdoor shower tucked beside the house offers a refreshing connection to the landscape.

Powered by 26 monocrystalline solar panels on a 15 k Sol-Ark inverter with a lithium-ion LifePo battery bank, the home generates 38 kWh of electricity daily and stores enough energy for five-seven days off-grid — no electricity bills. Easily connectable to the grid for those who prefer, the system is fully integrated and low-maintenance. Currently supplemented by propane to ensure no strain on battery.

The 2.6-acre site offers total privacy yet remains minutes from North Branch, Callicoon, Roscoe, and Livingston Manor. A fire pit just off the deck invites starlit evenings, while a grassy clearing below opens to views of the house above and the surrounding forest.

Forest Edge is a rare synthesis of architecture and ecology — design-forward, self-sustaining, and quietly extraordinary. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
