CHAPIN CONSTRUCTION
Mountain Architecture
When you look beyond the gates, and shortly after your first glimpse of the private homes at The Chapin Estate, it’s clear you are surrounded by a distinctive architectural style—a mountain vernacular that looks forward, yet pays homage to the Catskills and Adirondack aesthetic of the past.
The homes here exude a sense of rustic luxury. Steve Dubrovsky, Founder and CEO of The Chapin Estate and Chapin Construction, designed and handcrafted the vast majority of these homes that are inspired by the Great Camps of the Gilded age. With design cues from nature, the homes feature tree supports from each build site, hand-hewn timber, and abundant native stone. Even so they possess a design sensibility that incorporates a mixture of high technology S T E V E D U B R O V S KY, F O U N D E R & C E O
and innovative creativity that resonates with the growing number of buyers.
Steve Dubrovsky leads the award-winning team at Chapin Construction. For more than 35 years, Steve has planned, designed, and built nationally acclaimed Adirondack and northwestern-style custom homes in many states. He built his own home at The Chapin Estate where he lives with his wife Anne, and their beloved dogs, horses, and cattle. Steve’s sought-after homes have been featured in national magazines and books, such as Home, Architectural Digest, Robb Report, Pulse, Ralph Kylloe’s Rustic Living, and Adirondack Style. He has also built homes in prestigious areas including the famed Beaverkill Valley community near Livingston Manor, NY developed by Lawrence Rockefeller III.

The Chapin Construction team possesses a deep reverence for nature.

As if sprouting from the land itself on generous lots no smaller than five acres, Chapin Construction will sensitively site your home taking full advantage of natural marvels such as stately trees and forever-blue lakes.

Steves, Vice President/Editor-in-Chief—Home Magazine
“It is rare to work with a cadre of persons who take care with every detail and who carefully consider each decision before moving ahead. It meant so much to us that you always made time to explain exactly what was happening and what we should expect.� Richard Lewis, Author & Carol Lewis, Sculptor

“Many new homeowners can bore you to death about cost overruns. I’m happy to report that I haven’t bored anyone. You did what you said; and you said what you did. No surprise billings, no premium pricing for extras. If the change we requested was easy to do, you always said ‘don’t worry about it’.” Robert M. Kavner, Group Executive—AT&T
