Experience captivating views of the dramatic Shawangunk Ridge from this newly constructed home on a secluded 16+ acre parcel with direct access to Mohonk Preserve and its thousands of acres of hiking and biking trails, swimming holes and waterfalls. This modern yet earthy home is nestled on a hilltop at the end of a 1,000' paved driveway, offering complete privacy. An open floor plan boasts solid white oak floors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The custom kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring carefully chosen Brazilian quartzite counters, custom walnut cabinets, and top-of-the-line Wolf, Subzero and Thermador appliances. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or preparing a family meal, this kitchen has it all. The living room is truly a showstopper with its soaring wall of windows and its Fireorb, a suspended wood-burning fireplace allowing 360 degree rotation. It is sure to be the centerpiece in the cooler months. On the main floor you will find two bedrooms, one being the primary with private bath; a sanctuary complete with a soaking tub overlooking the grounds, double sinks with marble vanity and tumbled marble floor. Upstairs, a versatile loft offers a great flex space - movie nights, playroom, yoga space, you name it. Just off the kitchen is a screened porch with a cathedral ceiling, outdoor kitchen with pellet grill/smoker and fireplace - warm and woody, with plenty of space to lounge, this room is home. Step out onto the deck and indulge in some stargazing or simply enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding wildlife amongst a garden of massive rock outcroppings. On the lower level is a mudroom, third bedroom with private bath, laundry and garage. This home is a true gem of the Hudson Valley. Thoughtful design, luxurious finishes, and seamless integration with the natural surroundings make it the perfect retreat. The landscaping is a mix of level front and backyard lawns and beautiful moss covered rock outcroppings. Well-worn trails beyond the house take you to a perennial creek, seasonal waterfall and continue to a lookout with views over the Hudson Valley and beyond. Either hike into Mohonk through your private backyard entrance, or climb into the preserve on your very own slice of the Shawangunk Ridge to access an 85 mile network of hiking, biking and world class rock climbing. This is heaven. Located just minutes from the Village of New Paltz, Mohonk Mountain House, Minnewaska State Park, Wildflower Farms (Auberge resort), Inness, excellent restaurants and wineries and all we love in the Hudson Valley. 90 minutes to Manhattan, yet a million miles away.
