Award-winning film producer Lisa Muskat, of “Beckett,” “Bones and All” and “Joe,” is listing her Catskills home for $1.97 million. Built on a mountain, the charming three-bedroom, three-bathroom home sits on 33.12 acres. It was built in 1920 in Arts and Crafts style.
Muskat bought the home, at 5280 Cauterskill Road in Catskill, NY, for $660,000 in 2016.
Back then, Muskat told Gimme, she was “living and working in New York and the trip up and down the Hudson River by train was such a simple journey to this magical spot upstate.”

Now, however, she is spending a lot of time in Paris and, she said, “It’s time to hand off this beautiful house to the next lucky person who gets to be its steward.”
The home was originally built for Alleyne Ireland, a British writer who wrote about British tropical colonies and also worked as a private secretary to Joseph Pulitzer. Alleyne’s travels in Asia and close relationship with architect Frank Lloyd Wright inspired the style of the house, brokers said.

The land was also painted by Thomas Cole, founder of the Hudson River School of Art. Seventy years later, Steven Shadley, an AD 100 designer whose clients include Jennifer Aniston, Diane Keaton, Robert Altman, Matthew Modine and Ryan Murphy, restored the home, taking it down to its stone walls and fireplaces, then built it from the ground up, according to the listing. His touches include a roof made with zinc shipped in from England.
The single-story home features a chef’s kitchen with a 10-person dining table, two large window seats and a wood-burning fireplace. There’s also a second wood-burning fireplace in the living room and a main bedroom suite with an ensuite bath.
A third bedroom, plus another ensuite bath, is in a separate structure on a hill overlooking the main house accessed by a stone staircase on “mossy grounds” where an original planter with a Japanese maple tree still stands.
