Property Description
Private three-structure compound on seventeen acres adjoining forever wild DEP land. You will be instantly enraptured by the serenity of this property. The main house is light-filled, open and airy, with a post and beam construction; lending itself to entertaining friends and family, as well as peaceful repose. Multiple glass sliding doors give access to the outside, opening to various patios and decks, and the invitation to long nature walks. The master suite upstairs includes a beautiful sitting/lounging room, and a wonderful master bath with Jacuzzi tub overlooking the gardens. From the kitchen, a door leads to a spacious studio apartment, with 15’ ceilings, that can be integrated into the house or separated off as office space or additional sleeping quarters. Steps from the main house, you’ll find the eating patio, surrounded by abundant gardens—the ideal spot for outdoor dining and enjoying those rich cool nights under the stars. The second structure, a two-story studio building, is set among the trees, far enough away from the main house to ensure a very good sense of privacy for both. The first floor is composed of two large rooms connected by formidable arched passageways. With its eighteen-foot ceilings and radiant heat floors, the 2,000 sqft space lends itself to many possible uses like sculpting, painting, pottery, woodworking, dance, yoga, and much more. Upstairs, a lovely one-bedroom apartment awaits your guests. The light-filled front room is an open living/dining/kitchen space. The back bedroom looks out over the yurt and pond. Each room has a skylight and large windows. This is a wonderful spill-over space, cozy in the winter, and airy and comfortable in the summer. Let’s talk about the yurt. When I say “yurt,” you might have a different image in mind. This is a four-season, fully insulated structure, with wooden walls, a stunning cherry-wood floor, and two additional rooms. The feeling inside is nothing short of magical. Ideal for yoga, meditation, or the most awesome writer’s retreat you’ll ever experience. From the yurt’s double french doors, you step out onto a roofed porch and from there, well...you might as well jump into the pond. Yes, it’s that close. The pond is stream fed, eighteen feet deep and beautifully refreshing. There is some serious R&R possible right here. You won’t hear anything but the water flowing and wind in the trees. One more item to consider is this: We live in a world where clean air, water, and soil are becoming highly relevant. This is a property where chemicals have never been used, and the tap water is sweet and delicious to drink, with no filters needed. Because of the close proximity to the Ashokan Reservoir, drinking water to NYC, the area is protected from the potential of any corrupting industry, and the forest caressing this property is owned by the Department of Environmental Protection. Whether you’re interested in sustainable living or want a fantastic family compound, retreat or simply a place to enjoy for yourself, you’ll find it all right here.
