Incredible 1776 stone house on 12 private acres, only minutes from the village of New Paltz. You will fall in love with this property the moment you set foot on it. The stone house is embedded in beautiful landscaping, complete with Gunite in-ground pool, barn, guest building with yoga/painting studio and stunning meadow views. You enter the main house via a brick-floored screen-in porch. The gourmet kitchen features vaulted ceilings, stone backsplash, a fire place with wood stove insert and French doors and plenty of windows to let the outside in. Dining room, living room, and family room are connected, while providing plenty of separate spaces without feeling separate. Spend winter evenings dining in front of the fire or gather with friends and family in the family room library. The rooms have easy access to the outside - the pool and hot tub and gardens. The upstairs features 2 guest bedrooms, a bath, and a main suite complete with its own gorgeous bath room. There are views of the property from every room. The stunning pool area is surrounded by bluestone and features a small cabana with BBQ. From the pool and stone hot tub there are lovely views of the meadow, old horse fences and the distant tree line. The separate and private studio apartment is perfect for guests. The same building includes a magnificent painting studio and workshop area. A large barn and chicken coop complete the picture. All this about 90 min from Manhattan, and only minutes to the villages of New Paltz and Gardiner; within biking distance to the rail trail for hiking, running, biking, cross country skiing and more. Very close to the Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park for world-class rock climbing, hiking, swimming, mountain biking etc. The owners have done extensive renovations over the last ten years including but not limited to a new roof, windows, siding, guest quarters and studio (gutted and rebuilt), whole-house generator, and much, much more (please refer to associated documents for a full list of improvements).
