Shokan Home – The Home Style Directory

Inspire Notes:

This is Shokan House. It is one of those homes that you Instagram the sh*t out of it…right in front of the owner too! You just don’t care. It’s that good.

Shokan House spacious private residence is situated at the edge of the Ashokan reservoir, in New York.

The house stands at the edge of the Ashokan reservoir, just below the summit of a Catskill mountain, with views extending south across and beyond the reservoir to the horizon. Oak, fir, spruce, and an occasional birch surround the house. Here you can expect hawks, turkey, fox, deer and bear to appear regularly.

A ½-mile gravel road curves around a grass-banked pond, leading to the long western elevation of the house and then extends, in an arc, around the southern elevation.
The 6000 square foot house enjoys amazing views across treetops to the reservoir, the distant mountains and the surrounding forest.

Steel, glass, concrete, ceramic and wood are left exposed and unadorned, raw relentless and handsome.

Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.” “We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
