Tucked along a quiet country road and nestled into the hillside, this home is all about easy living, quiet moments, and that slow-down pace we all come upstate for. It's more spacious than it first appears, with flexible layouts and plenty of spots—inside and out—to gather, unwind, and recharge. Upstairs, the main floor features a bright kitchen, roomy dining area, full bath, and two cozy railroad-style bedrooms. The living room opens right onto a tree-top deck that's perfect for grilling, hanging out, or simply soaking up the calm. Downstairs is a private bedroom suite with its own bath and access to a screened-in porch—a breezy retreat for reading or relaxing in nature. From there, steps lead to the yard: a peaceful, wooded expanse that feels both private and open, with a fire pit and hot tub nestled against the natural rock outcropping. It's the kind of space that invites stargazing, unhurried dinners, and long afternoons outside. It's comfortable and ready to enjoy right away—whether as a first home, a weekend retreat, or an easy entry into the world of short-term rentals. And with the option to purchase furnished (for an additional cost), it's a rare chance to step right into upstate living with a built-in path to offset expenses. Set on 1.8 acres of wooded hillside and open yard, you're just minutes from hiking, skiing, and the charm of towns like Saugerties, Woodstock, Catskill, and Hunter —and only about 2 hours from the GWB for that easy city-to-country escape.

Your upstate getaway awaits! And don't miss the VIRTUAL TOUR! This super sweet cottage-style home sits on just under 2 acres of beautiful land on a country road. Don't be fooled by the small look of this home from the road. .. it's built into the rock ledge, and features plenty of open air living space. The main level has 2 bedrooms (that are each large enough to add home office space while working from home) and a full bath, with a super open floor plan living and dining area. There's a deck right off the living room too, that's just waiting for outdoor meals and barbecues. Go downstairs, and find your master suite, laundry room, and the huge screened-in porch to relax in, after you step out of your hot tub. This home offers so much indoor and outdoor enjoyment. .. you won't want to leave! You may have seen The Bluestone Cottage on AirBNB, too. .. it's had so much success!
