A timeless country aesthetic meets today's smart-home conveniences in this stunning modern farmhouse, custom-built on 6.9 secluded, wooded acres. Designed for comfort, privacy, and a deep connection to nature, this home blends rustic charm with cutting-edge functionality.
Step into the soaring great room, where a majestic bluestone fireplace and two-story north-facing windows fill the space with natural light. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into a gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, and a large breakfast island beside the dining area—perfect for entertaining or quiet family dinners.
Natural materials define the home's warm, organic character: engineered wood-grain flooring (with radiant heat), thick walnut stair treads, mahogany handrails, cedar porches and decks, stained wood ceilings, and a cedar-lined four-person sauna.
Four bedrooms are thoughtfully distributed across three levels, each with its own full bath—offering rare privacy and flexibility for families, guests, or remote work needs.
The fully finished walkout basement includes a bright, spacious media room ideal for movie nights or game-day gatherings. There's also another bedroom and full bath.
Multiple outdoor living spaces invite you to unwind and take in the peaceful surroundings: a rocking-chair front porch, a screened side porch, and a large rear deck overlooking a cozy fire pit framed by Adirondack chairs and a serene forest backdrop.
Modern smart-home features include Nest-controlled radiant heating and central A/C, a 1G mesh WiFi network that extends to outdoor spaces, smart locks, integrated smoke/CO detectors, and connected appliances—allowing you to stay comfortable, secure, and connected, even from afar. The property also operates successfully as a short-term rental, with income history available. While the current STR permit does not convey, a new one can be obtained by right from the Town of Saugerties. The home may also be sold fully furnished and turnkey. Located just 10 minutes from Saugerties and Woodstock, and 20 minutes from Kingston, this private retreat offers easy access to the Hudson Valley and Catskills' finest trails, dining, culture, and outdoor adventures. This is why we live here. Now you can, too!
