Welcome to 120 Dashville Road, an extraordinary, newly constructed eco-luxury estate where world-class architectural theory meets the serene beauty of the Hudson Valley. Designed by renowned architect David Murray and deeply rooted in the design principles of theorist Christopher Alexander (A Pattern Language), this home is a masterclass in how a built environment can foster well-being, harmony, and peace. Stepping inside the 3,675-square-foot residence, you are immediately greeted by an abundance of natural light tracking the sun's trajectory. The home's innovative straw bale construction is subtly revealed through grand, deeply recessed windows and built-in window seats--perfect for losing yourself in a book or watching the local wildlife. Every detail has been meticulously curated to soothe the senses and inspire creativity, featuring soft rounded corners, barrel ceilings, custom handmade tiles, sleeping niches, and secret-door bookcases. The main level offers an effortless flow designed around a ''gradient of intimacy,'' featuring a gourmet chef's kitchen equipped with high-end appliances, an elegant dining space, and a cozy living area anchored by a wood stove. Retreat to the primary suite on the main floor, or ascend the sculptural spiral staircase to find two additional bedrooms, a family room/den, a private office, and a second-floor deck. The bathrooms serve as personal spas, complete with a traditional Japanese Ofuro soaking tub. Outside, the property opens up to a sprawling 34.5-acre private sanctuary encompassing a pristine pond, rolling meadows, and protected wetlands. A separate artist's studio and a dedicated pottery/potting shed provide the ultimate escape to create without distraction. Though you are tucked away in a world of your own, you are just 15 minutes from the vibrant heart of downtown New Paltz, close to the historic charms of Kingston and Woodstock, and an easy 80-minute drive to NYC. This isn't just a home--it's a lifestyle, an oasis, and a living piece of art.
