This is an extraordinary place—one that must be seen to be appreciated. These serene thirteen acres have expanses of sweeping lawn, studded with mature maple, cedar and fruit trees, a deep pond, long runs of stone wall. And they offer a beautiful, multi-horizoned view of a nearly uninhabited stretch of the Catskills. Back on a quiet private road, surrounded by woods, the contours of this landscape give a clear feeling of spaciousness and of calm. There are two handsome, well-laid out, one & two bedroom houses (1200 sq.ft ea.) with big windows, and hardwood floors: The Farmhouse has a 14 x 40 vaulted ceiling living-dining room with a well-designed kitchen, a large sitting room overlooking a deck and a raised stonewall herb garden, one bedroom and full bath, which has mountain and pond views. The Cottages are comprised of two renovated Catskill cottages connected by a light-filled breezeway that is suitable for a library/sitting area, where on a clear day, seven horizons show on the mountain vista ahead. French doors lead to a large deck. There are superb views from the living room and one of the bedrooms, as well. There is also a double garage-workshop, with two large double doors, a cement floor, and 10’ ceilings. On the second floor, there is a fully insulated home office with ample closet and storage space, which has north facing windows overlooking the mountains and pond, and windows as well facing east and west. Over by the pond, sits a charming winterized guest cottage, with an enamel propane fireplace and a bath. The natural grandeur and simplicity of this property and its array of comfortable, appealing buildings can allow seamless interplay between living, working and relaxation. It is ten minutes from Stone Ridge, fifteen across the mountains to New Paltz, passing Mohonk, New York State’s largest nature preserve, but under two hours to New York. The area has many good restaurants, an impressive array of arts and entertainment venues, good libraries, no sprawling developments, many little villages, and is architecturally diverse but retains long stretches of wooded country roads. This just may be the right spot for you.
