986 Samsonville Rd, Kerhonkson, NY 12446

Tucked among the trees on a lightly traveled, but well maintained local thoroughfare, 986 Samsonville Road is a great starter home for a small family, accessible single-story living for retirees, or a weekend getaway for city dwellers. The neighborhood is a well-spaced mix of permanent and seasonal residents, in a lush setting that showcases the year-round natural beauty of New York’s Hudson Valley. The 2 ½ acre property is set back from the road, surrounded by maple, pine, and birch trees, with established perennials planted around the house. Two garden plots with sturdy deer fencing are perfect for growing vegetables or flowers. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath house includes a light and spacious living- and dining-room area, with glass doors opening to a large three-season back porch, perfect for romantic summer dinners by candlelight, or to be used as a well-lit seasonal artist studio. The house’s main bathroom includes a washer and dryer, tucked away in a closet for easy first-floor access. An efficient and nearly-new woodstove fireplace makes this an affordable home to heat almost entirely with wood (with baseboard heat available as well). The basement has plenty of storage space, and provides direct access to the 2-car garage. Outdoor and cultural activities abound in this part of the Hudson Valley: hike or bike at Minnewaska State Park, pick up garden-fresh produce at roadside farm stands, or explore the galleries, restaurants, and other amenities to be found in the area's small, historic towns. SUNY New Paltz isn’t far, making this house a great option for students or faculty/staff looking for a quieter place to land.
