49 Rocky Rd, Red Hook, NY 12571

Affording privacy and seclusion, this jewel of a property is nestled into a perfect corner of the Hudson Valley and is truly one of a kind. This artistic masterpiece was lovingly designed and constructed by a master craftsman for his own family, using fascinating natural faces on the locally collected stone. The house is centered in a 20.5-acre parcel reminiscent of the John Burroughs nature sanctuary, with abundant wildlife and idyllic settings. There are 2 miles of established trails and a stunning spring-fed 3-acre pond with a pebble beach and floating dock to enjoy swimming, kayaking and skating. Two fenced gardens, irrigated from the pond, produce vegetables and flowers from spring to fall. The main level of the house has an open floor plan, soaring ceilings, furniture-grade red oak beams, and a wall of south-facing windows for light and passive-solar heating. Floors of handcrafted terracotta tile from Saltillo and the view from a wall of windows overlooking open space and the pond, ushers in the out of doors. The cabinetry, doors, and built-ins are hand made from oak and cherry, each from a single tree, allowing for bookmatched panels and symmetry of the grain. The upper level, presently divided into three bedrooms and a full bath, was built as a loft and can easily be converted, as the walls can be removed and the integrity of the beautiful wood floors and ceiling revealed. The large 700 sq ft, three-car detached garage/workshop, with heat and electricity, could be converted to a terrific studio or guest cottage. Begin your own new journey and intimate relationship with this exceptional gem and enjoy all the riches it has to offer. Minutes to the village of Red Hook, Rhinebeck, Bard College and Amtrak.
