Welcome to the pinnacle of architectural brilliance, contemporary luxury & total privacy that is A House in the Woods. A captivating fusion of cutting-edge design & unrivaled sophistication, this architectural marvel redefines the boundaries of modern country living, seamlessly blending sleek aesthetics with advanced technological integration that allows form to meet function & innovation to intertwine with elegance. Sited on 8.49 boulder-strewn acres, with no neighbors in sight, this home abuts the 2,500-acre Awosting Reserve, which virtually assures that nature will be at your doorstep for decades to come. The home is reached from a dead-end street & a stone-filled drive that winds pass a 25-ft-high, show-stopping, undulating Cor-Ten steel wall. Outside, there's a 9.5' x 5.5' plunge pool surrounded by a 19' x 20' bluestone patio, both designed for limitless lounging on both summer and fall days and nights. Step inside & be greeted by natural light streaming through 15-ft floor-to-ceiling windows. Designed by award-winning architect William Reue to the exacting specifications of the current owner, every aspect of this home has been meticulously crafted. This net-zero, LEED Silver-certified, all-electric home features quadruple-pane windows & 74 roof-mounted solar panels with microinverters. There is radiant-heat flooring throughout, an Aprilaire 8100 energy recovery ventilator, & a direct-exchange geothermal heating & cooling system. Smart-home automations include wi-fi connected thermostats & Nest security cameras. An expansive & open-concept gourmet kitchen, living & dining areas, custom-designed cabinetry & top-grade appliances, honed Caesarstone countertops, a Scandanavian-style sauna, a two-car garage (with a 40-amp ChargePoint EV charger) & a basement exercise room complete the picture. The guest wing contains all three guest bedrooms, each of which features an en suite bathroom. The main guest bathroom features a bathtub that faces a floor-ceiling-window. There is also a sitting room with a queen-sized Murphy bed & kitchenette containing a refrigerator, sink, & electric cooktop. Finally, there is a walk-in closet containing a large-capacity LG washer & dryer set, as well as storage space for linens. A mere 2 hours from Midtown Manhattan, 20 minutes from Minnewaska State Park Preserve & the famed Gunks, 30 minutes to New Paltz & bus service to Manhattan, & 40 minutes to Poughkeepsie & the Metro-North/Amtrak station, this home represents the epitome of contemporary luxury that effortlessly combines unparalleled style, technological innovation, & architectural excellence.
