MODERN FARMHOUSE RETREAT ON 6.9 PRIVATE ACRES - A timeless country aesthetic meets today's smart-home conveniences in this stunning modern farmhouse, custom-built on 6.9 secluded, wooded acres. Designed for comfort, privacy, and a deep connection to nature, this home blends rustic charm with cutting-edge functionality. Step into the soaring great room, where a majestic bluestone fireplace and two-story north-facing windows fill the space with natural light. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into a gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, and a large breakfast island beside the dining area—perfect for entertaining or quiet family dinners. Natural materials define the home's warm, organic character: engineered wood-grain flooring (with radiant heat), thick walnut stair treads, mahogany handrails, cedar porches and decks, stained wood ceilings, and a cedar-lined four-person sauna. Four bedrooms are thoughtfully distributed across three levels, each with its own full bath—offering rare privacy and flexibility for families, guests, or remote work needs. The fully finished walkout basement includes a bright, spacious media room ideal for movie nights or game-day gatherings. Multiple outdoor living spaces invite you to unwind and take in the peaceful surroundings: a rocking-chair front porch, a screened side porch, and a large rear deck overlooking a cozy fire pit framed by Adirondack chairs and a serene forest backdrop. Modern smart-home features include Nest-controlled radiant heating and central A/C, a 1G mesh WiFi network that extends to outdoor spaces, smart locks, integrated smoke/CO detectors, and connected appliances—allowing you to stay comfortable, secure, and connected, even from afar. The property also operates successfully as a short-term rental, with income history available. While the current STR permit does not convey, a new one can be obtained by right from the Town of Saugerties. The home may also be sold fully furnished and turnkey. Located just 10 minutes from Saugerties and Woodstock, and 20 minutes from Kingston, this private retreat offers easy access to the Hudson Valley and Catskills' finest trails, dining, culture, and outdoor adventures. This is why we live here. Now you can, too! Open Houses scheduled for Sat & Sun June 21 & 22 from 10 am to Noon. All are welcome. Agency relationships honored.

EXCELLENT WEST SAUGERTIES LOCATION. Brand new home to be built on just under 7 private acres about 10 minutes to both Woodstock proper and historic Saugerties village. Photos here are from a recently sold finished home model, with interiors that will be virtually identical to what will be built (exterior may vary slightly). The home offers clean modern rustic touches blended seamlessly with the character and charm buyers crave when searching for their upstate getaway in the Catskills. Packed with much sought after high demand home features like a wide open floor plan and super high ceilings making the kitchen and living area the true heart of the home and a truly special place to entertain. Numerous large windows bring the outside in and the floor to ceiling fireplace adds to the overall wow factor found throughout. Main level offers nice bedroom/full bath, sweet hickory wide board floors, very unique massive custom black walnut stair treads with sleek stainless steel cable rails, solid surface leathered granite counters, full lighting package, solid wood doors, the list goes on and on with virtually every box on the wish list checked off. Upstairs you'll find 2 spacious bedrooms with large bathroom and then to complete the perfect floor plan is an amazing finished walk out lower level media room/full guest suite complete with 4th bedroom/office, 3rd full bath, laundry room, and large windows with lots of natural light creating another full level of living space not often found in today's new builds. It's the perfect overflow area for guests with its own entrance to the back yard, providing independent living and the feeling of privacy when needed. High efficiency radiant heat and air conditioning. Truly a home for all seasons, an excellent weekend retreat but easily suitable for full time living. Extensive decking, front rocking chair and side screen porches complete the picture perfect setting inside and out. Local builder can't finish these homes fast enough for buyers. His custom creations are known to be located in some of the best locations in the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Park area of upstate NY, with each location offering amazing private home sites. These lots were hand selected to offer a private natural landscape but also true convenience to transportation and easy access to Manhattan in well under 2 hours. The Hudson Valley is know for its access to arts and culture, great restaurants, shopping, and live music. A peaceful setting combined with a brand new energy efficient home is just what many buyers look for today. New, efficient, and rustic, yet still refined for even the most discerning of buyers. Hands down one of the best values on the market today.
