You'll recognize this as a paradise if you have ever lived in the country; or if you have been dreaming of a bucolic country farm/retreat property in a magical setting - Here it is! 22.3 acres nestled on a plateau between mountain ranges, with flowing, level pastures, a pond, a woodland partially bordered by the Little Beaverkill stream and a unique series of structures. This one of a kind 2975 sq ft home was built in 1985 with reclaimed barn beams & completed w/a modern structural shell all designed to be light, open & flowing. Many upgrades have been added since the homes' original construction. This is a big loft-like open home with a kitchen that truly says "gather here" while the living and dining rooms are spacious, comfortable and window lined. The 27 ' two-story ceilings give way to more intimate personal spaces & bedrooms while the stained glass windows add soft colorful textures when the light shines through them. The wide center hall stairway beckons one to the second floor as the eye is pulled upward to the bold windows & beams. Gorgeous trees & landscaping frame the house & generously large deck for entertaining well out of sight from the farm activities. The beloved Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary called this home and kept an immaculate property for animal & guests alike. Their success called for them to expand to much larger facilities, and now this special piece of history with its pastures & buildings are offered to the next occupants. The property can easily be a family compound- Think of changing the veterinary building with its radiant heat, 1 1/2 bathrooms & kitchen area into a secondary home or guest house. What a location to create a retreat center for humans who want peace, quiet, yoga.. art! The property is nearly self sufficient with its solar, water features, and open, visually tranquil fields.
