24 Lookout Farm RD Napanoch, NY 12458

It's hard to believe that a place this cool exists. Fresh mountain air, spring-fed water, mesmerizing views, an exceptional house and total seclusion on more than 115 acres – And, it's just two hours from Manhattan. Lovingly created and owned by the same family since 1969, the main house was extensively expanded in 2002 and has been built around a 19th century, 2.5-story hillside barn. It features mountain views, a spring-fed swimming pond, a fenced organic garden bordered by perennial flowers, and a patio with waterfall-fed reflecting pond. The beautiful original hand-hewn beams in the main living area are further enhanced by a soaring, boulder stone fireplace. This chimney structure affords additional fireplace openings in the upstairs den and downstairs bedroom/family room. Two en-suite primary bedroom areas on opposite ends of the second level are separated by the cathedral-ceilinged living room area and accessed by separate staircases for complete privacy. One bath features an expansive tiled steam room and shower. The graciously proportioned chef's kitchen and adjoining dining area have direct access to the garden as well as to a balcony with garden and mountain views. The kitchen, looking out to the garden, patio and koi pond, features cherry cabinetry, a six-burner gas range and a beautifully scaled island. On the main level you'll also find a half bath and ample utility room. The lower level offers the stone walled bedroom/family room, a large workshop and a “systems” area, all with direct outdoor access. Across the drive from this home, set privately, is the 1,215 square foot studio-style guest house with a large bedroom, kitchen, cathedral-ceilinged living room, full bath and loft area. This dwelling, which has a brand new furnace and hot water heater, has totally separate services and had been rented continually until recently, so that the property can convey unencumbered by a tenancy.
