Calling all artists, artisans, privacy-seekers and nature lovers. This 4-building mini-compound includes a 936 sq ft 1-bedroom/1-bathroom contemporary cottage, 1120 sq ft 2-bedroom 1-bathroom converted barn, 575 sq ft heated studio and 1000 sq ft garage/workshop. All buildings are accessed by a winding driveway and sit well back from the road on 15+ park-like acres in the Rondout Valley amid towering trees, a babbling brook, birds galore, and a seasonal view toward the majestic Catskills. The contemporary cottage has soaring ceilings and tons of natural light from clerestory windows and south-facing glass doors in the dining room and bedroom, and the beautiful wood and bluestone floors throughout the house add to the organic aesthetic of it all. The open-plan living/kitchen/dining rooms will make for comfortable entertaining, and the huge bedroom, and office area could possibly be split in two with proper code-compliance. The recently converted barn demonstrates an artist’s sensibility, bespoke craftsmanship, nooks and crannies, and soothing energy. Both homes are solar powered, and each has its own well and septic. This property is conveniently close to Minnewaska State Park, Mohonk Preserve, Inness, Westwind and Arrowood.

Calling all artists, artisans, privacy-seekers and nature lovers. This 4-building mini-compound, accessed by a winding driveway, sits well back from the road on 15+ park-like acres in the Rondout Valley and enjoys towering trees, a babbling brook, birds galore, and a view toward the majestic Catskills. The main house has soaring ceilings and tons of natural light from clerestory windows and south-facing glass doors in the dining room and bedroom, and the beautiful wood and bluestone floors throughout the house add to the organic aesthetic of it all. The open-plan living/kitchen/dining rooms will make for comfortable entertaining, and the huge bedroom, with library wall and office area could possibly be split in two with proper code-compliance. Farther back on the property you’ll find a 28x36 garage and 28x40 barn, both with electric service, as well as a 23x23 studio with electric, heat and a composting toilet, all offering a myriad of options.
