52 Cherry Hill Rd, Accord, NY 12404

One of Ulster Countys finest large estate properties, on the market for the first time. Located in the designated Historic Kripplebush Hamlet, just outside Stone Ridge and High Falls, this property was created over the last two decades by owners who value high quality, serenity, and complete privacy. You approach the home site on a half mile long paved driveway meandering through the woods and gradually inclining up the hillside to a nicely elevated plateau with incredible southern facing views of the Shawangunks and Mohonk Mountain Lodge. The carefully chosen site overlooks these distant views as well as sculpted meadows, woodland trails, the Kripplebush Creek, a pond, and a 50-foot Gunnite swimming pool with extensive bluestone terraces, and sculptural stone walls. The home was designed in the Craftsman Style of cedar shingle and local stone. Attention to detail prevails throughout, with Brazilian cherry floors, a custom chefs kitchen, Venetian plaster walls, ten-foot ceilings, and much more. The details become the backdrop for the gorgeous site, the inclusive views from most of the windows, and the distinct feel of belonging, and of home. The house provides plenty of room to spread out while keeping the sense of style and cozy spaces. The professionally equipped home gym and yoga studio, and the well-maintained running and mountain biking trails throughout the property will give the fitness enthusiast plenty of opportunity to work out. The two garages (2-Car and 3-Car) have radiant heat and include a workshop area, satisfying even the most distinguished car aficionado. The kitchen is ideal for entertaining and incorporates everything a chefs heart desires; from the butlers pantry, Wolf stove, GE Monogram Refrigerator, to a lovely sitting area with gas fire place, and expansive views from the windows. A door leads to a covered porch area that is simply perfect for BBQs and summer dining. The lovely, beautifully cared-for and quiet gardens surrounding the home and pool extending their fragrant beauty, turning each moment pool-side into a relaxed and peaceful experience. The home, pool, and garden areas are perfectly integrated into the landscape, adding to the notion that even though this can be a fully functional work-from-home situation, with its two home offices and separate guest quarters, the property provides a complete vacation experience from the moment you set foot on its grounds.
