348 Libertyville Road, New Paltz

The moment you arrive at this private 23-acre sanctuary, you will feel your spirit rise to take in the bucolic and restorative environment you are about to enter. This land is a nature preserve with its magnificent boulders, flower meadows and woods, fire pits, and level lawns great for a match of volleyball or a future pool site. Wander the interconnected trails and old woods roads down a ravine to a stream, then back up to spots with seasonal views of the Wallkill River from the cliff's edge. Mature trees and younger hardwood growth reflect the land's farming past, and a run-in shed and large barn make a farmstead revival an attractive possibility.

Set against the Shawangunk Mountains with iconic Mohonk Skytop views, the contemporary post-and-beam home was designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings and maximize energy efficiency. Framed with hemlock timber and with structural insulated panels (SIPs), a long-lasting Imperial Rib metal roof (15 +/- years young), durable cedar siding and beautiful interior wood detailing featuring mostly locally sourced cherry, walnut, white oak, hemlock, maple, pine, ash, and cedar.

Start the day on the east-facing rocking-chair porch and end it on the large open deck admiring the sunset. Inside, an open first floor brings together the kitchen, dining, and living areas, with a mudroom, walk-in pantry, laundry room, and bath just off the welcoming entry. Wide-board white oak floors, sawn hemlock posts and beams, custom cabinetry, built-ins, and doors with crafted handles. A striking ash staircase with maple handrail connects the main level to three bedrooms above and to a full, high-ceilinged basement/workshop featuring a woodstove that is designed to also provide a secondary heat source option to the two floors above. Each bedroom includes beautifully designed lofts inviting for sleepovers, reading, study, play or meditation. One comes with a Western-facing balcony. Large windows frame the lush vistas in every direction, and the back deck's outdoor shower--with a view--begs for a nearby sauna pod.

The 16' x 40' two-story barn with attached tractor shed was mostly used as a woodworking shop but it offers many possibilities such as garage, art studio, storage, etc. The second floor could be finished to serve as more work or recreational space. In addition, there is a 8' x 10' tool shed with a newer cedar roof, and a 18' x 12' run-in horse shed with hemlock siding.

Enjoy secluded privacy only 5 minutes from New Paltz and 8 to Gardiner. Near Mohonk Preserve Trailhead and Minnewaska State Park and the abundance of Hudson Valley attractions.
