Description

This beautiful estate must be seen. Owned by the same family for over 40 years, the compound has been lovingly expanded and restored. It is anchored by an 1870 farmhouse with many amenities. You enter the house to a wonderful chef’s kitchen with cathedral ceilings accompanied by a walk-in pantry. There are granite countertops and top appliances. The first floor includes a spacious entertaining room and family room with a gas fireplace, as well as an en-suite bedroom and bath. The en-suite bedroom has a heated porch which leads to an outdoor deck. There are five different hardwoods used for the floors and three different hardwoods in the ceilings creating a unique style for each room. The sauna is also centrally located on the first floor. The second floor houses three bedrooms and a full bath. The third floor bedroom opens to its own balcony. Throughout the house are hardwood doors, French doors and multiple skylights. As you exit the house you come to the state of the art recording studio. It includes a full kitchen, full bath and an upstairs sitting lounge. This building can be easily converted to an additional living unit which matches the motif of the home. Leaving the studio you reach a free standing small home office. The next building houses two one-bedroom apartments, a four bay garage and a full workshop. You now reach the piece de resistance, a 20 by 40 foot in ground pool with heated pool house and changing room. The expansive gardens contain a storage cabin with an attached sitting deck offering expansive mountain views. Across Plank Road is an additional .6 acre parcel, included in this sale, providing private access to the Esopus Creek. Located just five minutes from Phoenicia, it is twenty minutes to Woodstock and a half hour to Kingston as well as both Bellayre and Hunter Mountains. You have the advantage of the nearby Ashokan Rail Trail offering year-round hiking and biking, as well as just enjoying one the country’s most beautiful settings. It is also proximate to the Zen Mountain Monastery. If you are looking for a luxurious family compound, providing country living, please take advantage of this unique opportunity. We are also offering the property as a commercial recording studio with both the studio and home fully furnished and equipped.
