Truly escape from it all in the compact, chalet-style Cedrus Cabin. Set back from a quiet country road, with the Mettacahonts Creek meandering through the property, this minimalist modern abode offers a perfect upstate respite without all the headaches of upkeep. The efficient footprint of this new build offers an open flow living area, and high-end finishes like vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, polished concrete floors, marble and slate-tiled bathroom, and custom kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Indoor comfort is ensured by spray foam insulation and a fossil-fuel-free combination of electric baseboard heat, wood stove, and ductless mini-split heating and cooling. Soaring ceilings, double glass doors, and an oversized transom window bring in an abundance of natural light, and provide a seamless connection to the unspoiled nature at your doorstep. The 4.5 acre parcel features approximately one acre of fenced meadow at the front of the property, with a wooden footbridge traversing the year-round creek and leading to the wooded back acreage. Additional building sites on the property could be possible with some clearing, and town approval. Nearby outdoor recreation also abounds, with the Vernooy Falls Trail Head (in the 30,000 acre Sundown Wild Forest) just a 4 min drive up the road. Minnewaska State Park is just a 19 min drive, the Ashokan Rail Trail is a 12 min trip, and many of the Catskills "high peaks" are also within close range. Cedrus Cabin is also notably situated amongst other popular upstate destinations, including the renown Hudson Woods development, fan favorite Zink Cabin, and its sister property Cook. house––all within 2 miles. Enjoy dining and mingling at local favorites like Westwind Orchard, Arrowood Farms, INNESS, Rough Cut Brewing, Outpost BBQ, Cherries Ice Cream, Stonehill's Farmhouse, Skate Time, and Mill & Main restaurant and provisions, all less than 20 min away.
