Modern Artisan Home on 5 Serene Acres

Welcome to this reimagined modern retreat (+ New Paltz schools!), where every detail reflects a local artisan's vision and the signature craftsmanship of Lake North Designs. Blending cedar, concrete, and vinyl, the exterior's mix of textures creates a bold architectural statement, while stone walls—sourced directly from the property—add grounding authenticity inside and out.

The entryway makes a stunning first impression with its dramatic rock wall and built-in bench, a statement piece that sets the tone for the artistry within.

Inside, arched doorways and carefully sculpted lines guide you through spaces that play beautifully with shape and light, creating a sense of flow and warmth throughout. Every element has been designed for balance and refinement: wide-plank engineered oak floors, Andersen windows, custom lighting, and handcrafted steel handrails showcase the home's elevated design and finishes.

The kitchen shines with a Samsung Bespoke fridge and washer/dryer, Bosch dishwasher, leathered granite countertops, double oven, induction cooktop, wine and soda fridge, and an attached dining room perfect for entertaining. In the living room, a wood-burning fireplace set against a custom stone accent wall create a cozy yet sophisticated focal point, while a separate family room or study offers flexible space for work or relaxation.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a soaking tub, radiant heat, and a walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and another full bath provide comfort and space for family or guests.

The finished walkout basement expands the living area with flex rooms for hobbies, a dedicated movie room with data cabling, additional laundry hook-ups, and another full bath. Additional upgrades include a new roof, high-efficiency heat pump water heater, low-E exterior doors, a new water heater, and new mini-splits ensure comfort in every season.

The outdoor space offers an expansive cedar deck off the kitchen, a custom fire pit, and private walking trails through 5 acres of woods—an idyllic setting to enjoy the changing seasons.

Tucked away on a quiet street in Highland (New Paltz Schools) and just minutes from the Hudson Valley Rail Trail, Brooklyn Cider House, and the Walkway Over the Hudson, this location offers both tranquility and convenience. Enjoy proximity to all the Hudson Valley has to offer in neighboring New Paltz, Gardiner, and Kingston. For easy access to NYC, you're only 30 minutes to the Metro-North station and 75 miles to the George Washington Bridge.
