In search of an idyllic mountaintop retreat with stunning panoramic views, surrounded by forever wild land with easy access to big mountain hiking, world class cycling (where the US national team trains), and all manner of outdoor activity where the only sights, smells and sounds you'll experience are those produced by nature? If so, this property is not to be missed. Perched on a hill overlooking a large meadow and forest beyond sits this custom designed post-and-beam chalet. Built by the current owners who spared no expense, the interior is defined by an expansive open plan main level includes: a spacious living room/dining area with solid cherry wood floors, a wall of windows, a vaulted cedar-clad ceiling and a custom Finnish Tulikivi soapstone wood stove/bake oven; a chef's kitchen complete with a SubZero refrigerator, a gas range and double wall ovens, custom birch cabinetry, granite kitchen island and plentiful counter space; a glass enclosed breakfast nook/sunroom that leads directly to a large deck; and a library/office with built-in cherry bookshelves. The primary suite on the upper level includes solid birch flooring, two walk-in closets that flank the bed, a private deck and a glass enclosed, light-filled ensuite bathroom that includes a soaking tub with marble decking and a custom-Italian tiled walk-in shower. The lower level includes two guest bedrooms, a large laundry room and bonus space that can serve as a home gym, office or additional living space. Whole house radiant efficiently heats the entire structure. High-speed internet makes working from home a seamless experience. Very low total annual taxes of $4,760 (some of the lowest in Ulster County) make it attractive vis-a-vis other towns in Ulster. Outside, the property is extensively landscaped with a plethora of perennials strategically planted to produce flowers throughout the season, a productive vegetable/flower garden, a massive yard, a large woodshed and two additional storage sheds. The Sundown Wild Forest is in close proximity where you'll find incredible hiking trails including the Red Hill Fire Tower, Slide and Table Mountain to name just a few of the many options. Just 20 mins from the property are the Blue Hole at Peekamoose, an ideal spot to take a summer dip, the Russian Mule Craft Brewery, and Hemlock Neversink, which offers yoga and art classes as well as Bittersweet, its upscale restaurant. The closest main towns are Livingston Manor and Ellenville. An additional 4 acre adjacent lot is separately available for purchase.
