New listing: Modern Cabin with Shared Ownership in Milan, NY ✨

2 BR / 2 BA modern cabin | 1,140 sq ft on 5 wooded acres | Designed by S3 Architecture | Soaring ceilings + floor-to-ceiling windows | Wood-burning stove | Designer kitchen + finishes | Covered deck + attached garage | Fully furnished + professionally managed | Co-ownership from $250K

—

Just minutes from Rhinebeck, this forthcoming modern cabin by Upstate Modernist offers a new approach to owning a Hudson Valley getaway: a beautifully designed, fully furnished vacation home with permanent shared ownership starting at $250K.

Designed by S3 Architecture, the two-bedroom retreat pairs a blackened wood exterior with soaring ceilings, oak floors, Danish cabinetry and warm natural finishes. An open living and dining space centers around a wood-burning stove, with expansive windows overlooking five wooded acres and a covered deck extending the living space outdoors.

Rather than purchasing and maintaining an entire second home, buyers can share the cost of ownership and pay for what they use.

A $250K share includes 6+ weeks annually, while a $495K quarter share provides approximately three months. Buyers can purchase with friends or family, or be matched with other vetted owners.

Delivered fully furnished and completely turnkey, the home includes professionally managed cleaning, maintenance and changeovers, plus private owner storage, online scheduling and optional concierge services.

Completion is anticipated in 2027, with shares available to secure for $50K down and flexible payment plans.

Just 90 minutes from NYC, fall escapes at The Wildling Retreat are here 🍂

Set on 18 private acres in the Poconos, The Wildling has two separate homes — a cabin and historic stone cottage — overlooking a private lake, creek and waterfall.

Designed for groups of up to eight, there’s plenty of room to spread out between the two houses, plus a wood-burning stove, fire pit, games and trails throughout the property. Outside, the private lake has its own dock, canoe and paddleboard — though come fall, we’d be perfectly happy staying fireside and taking in the foliage. 🍁
