River and cliff views are often sought and seldom found. This offering is a fabulous opportunity to live with views of the Shawangunk Ridge and direct access to the Shawangunk Kill River. Here is the epitome of rural living with upscale amenities, and low maintenance. The house was completely renovated into a modern contemporary open floor plan by a world class visual designer and builder. The house was designed with lots of windows, few walls and great flow to maximize the light, bring the outside in, while being a functional and comfortable living space. The front great room has cathedral ceilings leading to a chef's kitchen. You can enjoy your morning coffee while gazing out at the Shawangunk River though an 11-foot-long window with unobstructed views. The cabinets are custom designed and high quality with gem-like quartzite countertops. Completing the first floor is a dining area, living room area, family room and a custom built, highly insulated 600 sq. ft. office/studio/yoga, etc. space with its own entrance. The house has all new modern appliances, an air-exchange system allowing for fresh air in the winter, heat pumps and new low-e windows and doors. The 3 upstairs bedrooms all overlook the river. The master bedroom ensuite has river and cliff views, along with a deluxe bathroom and walk-in closet. The property also features a detached 1200 sq.ft. steel beam insulated garage/workshop/ studio. There is a 40 x 50 dog fence, BBQ and bar area and permaculture-designed organic food garden (currently growing tomatoes, kale, lettuce, chard, squash, herbs, peaches, plums, apples, berries and more). The property has plenty of space if the new owners want to add a fire pit or large swimming pool. With direct river access you can swim or kayak for miles from your backyard. Some of the best views of all the Gunks are viewed from this section of the Shawangunk River. Across the river from the house is a 150 acre forever farm owned by Watchtower with no possibility of development. Lining the river and in the backyard, there are old growth mature trees (maples, oaks, catalpas). There is also a unique 170-foot-long living wall (berm) planted with evergreens and flowers. Located in the heart of the Hudson Valley, close to New Paltz, 90 minutes from NYC, 30 minutes to local cities and a short drive, hike or bike to many farm to table venues, vineyards, craft breweries. Mohonk and Minnewaska are 10 minutes. Houses, locations, and opportunities like this are rare in this area.
