Artist Lake Contemporary - A Private 7-Acre Sanctuary on the Saugerties/Woodstock Border Tucked away on 7 private, park-like acres overlooking serene Artist Lake with views of Overlook Mountain, this three-bedroom, two-bath contemporary retreat is offered for the first time since its creation in 1972. Much of the home remains in beautifully preserved original condition, an architectural time capsule waiting to be reimagined - rich with character, soul, and possibility. A long, meandering drive leads you through Japanese-inspired gardens, curated stone pathways, and sculptural plantings - a true horticultural masterpiece designed by the former owner, a landscape designer and artist whose vision still lives in every mossy boulder, ornamental tree, and quiet sitting nook. The property feels like a private arboretum, alive with light, texture, and seasonal beauty. The residence is currently configured as a one-bedroom, one-bath main house, with cathedral ceilings, clerestory windows, wrapped in warm cherry woodwork, and grounded by hand-selected Italian tile. An attached art studio with soaring ceilings offers flexible creative space, while an additional two-bedroom, one-bath apartment provides options for multigenerational living, guest quarters, or future expansion into a larger single residence. Everywhere you look, there are details that speak to the home's mid-century spirit - clean lines, organic materials, a reverence for nature, and a gentle indoor-outdoor rhythm that invites the landscape into daily life. Whether you're looking to restore its vintage charm or transform it into a modern architectural showpiece, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, serenity, and natural beauty in one of the Hudson Valley's most coveted locations - just minutes to both Woodstock and Saugerties, yet tucked into your own private world. For those who dream in creativity, garden paths, morning lake light, and mountain silhouettes - this is not just a property. It's a canvas.
