55 Sunstone Rd, Olive, NY 12461

This wonderfully secluded 21-acre property sits at the end of a private road and offers woods, farmland, barn, a pond and a thoughtfully designed and meticulously constructed contemporary cabin in the woods. Natural materials blur the line between indoors and out, with rich woods and artisanal stonework incorporated into the architecture. Two wood stoves, one in the living room and the other in the walkout basement, in addition to the passive solar orientation, will keep heating costs low, and offer the opportunity to minimize use of the propane heating system. All rooms are light and bright, and the floor plan easily lends itself to entertaining, with a large living room and comfortable eat-in kitchen with custom cherry cabinetry and Mexican terra-cotta floor tiles. There's plenty of storage, including a pantry and mudroom area, as well as a second sitting/office area on the second floor. Apart from the efficient, turnkey house, there's real magic in the land, which has always been maintained organically, and offers a multitude of opportunities to grow crops and raise animals on a small scale. The barn is 16x20 with electric service, shed is 11x16 and chicken coop is 8x12. Parts of the property are deer fenced and there are mature fruit trees and berry bushes.
