Property Description
Nestled on 7.5 private, wooded acres in the peaceful town of Rosendale, The Bali House is a one-of-a-kind compound where Indonesian craftsmanship and Catskills calm converge. Originally envisioned by renowned sculptor Hans Van de Bovenkamp, this extraordinary estate was handcrafted in Bali by local artisans, deconstructed, shipped, and lovingly reconstructed on land chosen to mirror its ethereal spirit. At the heart of the property lies a swimmable, spring-fed natural pond surrounded by mature trees, grassy pastures, and native plantings. Whether it's for a morning swim, quiet meditation, or sunset reflection, this serene centerpiece brings a profound sense of stillness and connection to nature. The main residence is a thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bath, blending tropical architecture with modern comforts. Featuring soaring ceilings, heated floors, and expansive windows, the home exudes warmth and openness year-round. Natural finishes like Balinese teak, Bangkirai wood, Merbau hardwood, and woven bamboo walls create a calming, spa-like atmosphere. Unique touches include a bathtub beside the fireplace—perfect for cozy winter nights. Just a stone's throw away is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest house that offers privacy and flexibility—ideal for hosting visitors or pursuing your creative outlet. The layout effortlessly supports multi-generational living, short-term rental potential (check with town on current regulations) or a live-work lifestyle. There is also a large garage that could be a great artist studio, gym or extra storage. Located just minutes from the center of Rosendale—a town we adore for its charm, culture, and gems like Well Nice Wine Bar, Le Chat Barbu, Darlings, and the iconic Rosendale Theatre. You're also a short drive from New Paltz, Kingston, and all the outdoor adventures of the Mohonk Preserve. Easy access to NYS-87 and the Trailways bus to NYC means this private retreat is never far from the action of the city. 80 miles north of the GWB.
