This is simply an exceptional property, where open meadows ringed by stonewalls and deciduous trees, breathtaking mountain views and enchanting woodland are made accessible via a sprawling network of old farm roads. It has a robust history of successful deer hunting, if that's your thing, and the old (not charming old) "hunting cabin" which is certainly a tear down, stands as a testament to this. The survey indicates there are at least two springs on the property, and in the very far corners a stream crosses the boundary, but the real appeal here is the variety of delightful clearings that terrace the property, and the jaw-dropping views. The further in you explore, greater the panorama. The first .3 mile of the old farm road access is steep and washed out, so it's very rocky, and does not currently accommodate cars, FYI. There is also a level patch of land with a concrete pad easily accessed via its own entrance from DeBruce Rd., that until recently had a mobile home on it.

Spacious 3,300 sf new build, ideal for hosting larger groups in style and comfort. Built into a gently sloping hillside, the upstairs includes 3 of the 4 bedrooms. Spacious primary suite includes a built-in window seat and modern bathroom with double shower heads and double sinks. A pretty guest bedroom opens to a large, shared bathroom with shower and double sinks. There is a large bunk room with 6 built-in beds, creating a vibrant kids' space or room for guests. The upper level also has a delightful reading nook. The focal point of the 750 sf Great Room on the lower is the stone fireplace. The kitchen features generous storage and counter space, with large island, and lots of room for a large dining table. The glass sliders open to a covered deck and patio with fire pit for al fresco dining and s'mores. A pond has been created (it's still filling up) and the outflow heads down to the brook at the bottom of the property,.

Hidden Meadow Lodge is an incredible ''destination property'' on 16 stunning and private acres that includes an outdoor entertainment Pavilion with kitchen, showers/toilet, hot tub, TV, bluestone patio and integrated fire pit. The house itself has 4 bedrooms, 2 modern bathrooms and a kitchen with loads of granite counter space and storage. There is both a formal dining room and a breakfast nook with built-in banquette, and a sizable entrance that's both a mud room and a bar. The living room has a stone fireplace and the partially finished lower level has a den/rec room with a second fireplace. Huge level lawns punctuated by graceful mature trees create a visual tableau that enhance the Zen vibe of this peaceful property. A large metal barn offers myriad opportunities, perhaps converted to a pool house to complement your new pool install? This property has been a successful rental, please inquire for details.

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.

This cabin in the woods was upgraded to a year round dwelling with two large additions: The first a spacious pine-paneled living room with cathedral ceiling, wood stove and glass sliding doors looking out at the woods and Neversink River in the back. Stairs lead up to a generous loft. The other is a light-filled sunken sunroom, with 3 sides wrapped in windows. Another glass slider allows for year round water views. It also provides easy access to the back of the house, where soaring pines with high canopy blanket the ground in needles. It is where owners and their guests gather around a crackling fire, share their stories and are bathed in the calming sounds of the river. The basic country kitchen is roomy and includes a corner for dropping gear, while a staircase leads to a deep loft that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom or office space. A short hallway off the kitchen leads to 2BRs and a bathroom. And then there is the river, whose calming presence can't be over-stated.
