Welcome to High Rock Lodge. A truly one-of-a-kind, resort style, architectural masterpiece and a private country retreat located in the heart of Staten Island's Greenbelt. The use of unique timber frame construction, and Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) is a sophisticated choice. It provides a rustic aesthetic while being far more energy efficient and airtight in comparison to traditional construction. It is truly built to last for generations. The property's location prioritizes privacy, seclusion, and a connection with nature with nothing but park land as its neighbor while ensuring a short and convenient commute to city amenities like work, top schools, entertainment, transportation, and shopping. Exit the back gate and access miles of trails for hiking, biking, fishing and exploring everything the Greenbelt has to offer. Enter inside this home that spans over 5,500 sq ft of open living space on a sprawling 20,382 sq ft lot surrounded by 92 acres of Greenbelt and be transported by the rustic elegance of exposed timbers, soaring cathedral ceilings and rich hardwood floors, where radiant heat provides luxurious, silent warmth throughout. Enter the grand foyer that leads to the expansive Great room equipped with a gas-start wood-burning fireplace that extends to the outside patio, offering the perfect setting for year-round indoor-outdoor living. The Great room is connected to the dining room by a wine room style bar that serves as a transitional element, connecting the two rooms while also establishing a distinct area for socializing and cocktails. The dining room and living room are anchored by a stunning two-sided gas fireplace that creates a cozy atmosphere perfect for intimate gatherings or grand entertaining. The chef-inspired kitchen is equipped with a double oven, a warming drawer, an 8-burner stovetop with a professional hood, a double-tier island providing ample prep space and a farmhouse sink, all supported by two dishwashers for effortless cleanup. The first floor also features a half bathroom, a thoughtfully designed playroom that features a Dutch door, and a guest bedroom with a private entrance and full bathroom.

A 3/4 bath serves the basement. The oversized two-car garage with ample storage rounds out the lower level.
