The first thing you might notice is the quiet. As you approach the house, open fields and, in the distance, the Shawangunk Ridge come into view. Old stone walls. Gardens. Still no sound other than birds. Then the house: Amazing details, gorgeous eat-in gourmet kitchen, beautiful floors, original doors. Your eye is being drawn to the details and you almost forget the views visible from most of the windows. The second story great room is at once living room and meditative space. Comfortable. A wood stove. Picture windows. The primary bedroom-a quiet beauty-might make you remember a simpler life. It is here now. Stillness. A soaking tub. Breathe out. Then a third story. Yoga. Pilates. Star gazing. Writing. I can imagine the Great American Novel being crafted here. Let's have a stroll around the house, shall we? The backyard patio features local bluestone. More views. More bird sounds. A shed for all the gardening tools you'll ever need. And a wood shed, built by the owner, to ensure the woodstove has fuel for those cozy evenings by the fire. The roof was replaced in 2018 with 50-year shingles. A new septic has been installed in 2015. Mini splits deliver energy-efficient heat and cooling year-round. The location is as practical as it is beautiful - solid cell service (a coveted feature in this area), and the town's Davis Park with its pool and community programs just minutes away. Close to Arrowood Farms and Rough Cut Brewing, the Ashokan Reservoir, Woodstock, the Ashokan Rail Trail and much more. What do you think? This could be yours.

Dear buyer, I want you to know the story of this house. My family bought it three years ago and we did a total renovation to all the bathrooms and kitchen with new appliances and tile and all new fixtures. We also changed the back of the house and opened it up with a huge dormer facing the mountain since before the main view was to the expansive side meadow. We thought this was going to be our forever home so we put all the best we could into it and added mini splits throughout the house for Heating And Cooling, an on-demand hot water heater, a backup generator that comes on automatically as well as a standalone propane fireplace in case we want to look at a fire while watching TV. We also put in lots of landscaping and out door statues made by local carver extraordinaire Hoppy Quick. What we loved about the house (using past tense since we need to detach :) was that the original owner took so much time and care to build it (from 2015 to 2021) and put in many raw live edge wood features, such as the very unique entrance, so when we did the renovation we continued with that theme and brought in a modern touch. We added skylights for more light (since we love lots of light and this house has plenty) a new staircase to the lower level that connects it to the main level and put wood floor down on the entire lower level where we have an additional living room, a tiny room with an infrared sauna (keeps us healthy in the winter) that can be an office and two bedrooms (one with huge sliders and a walk-in closet) plus a large den. All of which share a big bathroom with two sinks and a huge bathtub for two (we love to take baths) which is why we also added an outdoor shower and claw foot bath area that we use the second it is warm enough. The main level has an additional bedroom with access to the huge back deck and a full bathroom with large shower. Both bathrooms have yummy towel warmers and bio bidet toilet seats which heat up. We find this property to be absolutely magical. As I'm writing this I'm lying in the hammock with the sound of the stream and the view of the mountain and the sound of birds chirping (and the photographer's drone getting ready to list the house). It is beautiful here in all seasons. It is quiet because we are on a dead end road with only one neighbor who is super quiet. We can get out of our house and walk to the stream (our land doesn't have frontage on it but we have the right to just walk to it) or do a three mile loop along a large stream that takes us to state land with a semi-secret swim hole. We have found our neighbors to be really nice and although you feel private and isolated, it is only three minutes from Boiceville supermarket and Bread Alone or the entrance to the nicest part of the Ashokan Reservoir rail trail. Plus, we are only 18 minutes from the center of Woodstock and 12 from the center of Phoenicia where we love to go for the Sunday farmer's market. The reason we are selling is because we decided to become part of an Eco-village in Costa Rica and will most likely spend much of our time there so we don't want to own two homes. My husband is retiring this year and I have been a real estate agent and renovating and building homes in this area for the past 20 years (this one is my absolute favorite). We will miss this house very much and this property since it has amazing energy to it and would love to find a buyer who appreciates everything that went into it and how gorgeous it is over here. Since we are relocating, we are happy to sell all the furniture for a seamless transition. Also, if anyone in the future would like to do a home exchange with us in Costa Rica we would be happy to come back since we will miss it for sure.
