311 Buck Rd, Stone Ridge, NY 12484

311 Buck Road is the rarest of Stone Ridge properties. Sited on 44 private acres on one of Ulster County’s most sought-after roads, and just a few minutes outside of town, this magnificent property offers the finest of country living. With a view over Roosa Pond to High Point Mountain, the home, with classic lines on the exterior, offers a contemporary floor plan that’s suited to today’s casual living. A soaring stone fireplace and a wall of windows to the view anchor the double-height living room, and French doors open to the bluestone patio and heated gunite pool beyond. The roomy kitchen’s custom cabinetry and quartz countertops offer copious amounts of storage and prep space, and the adjacent dining room can comfortably host a large dinner party. The large first-floor guest suite faces the outdoor magic with lots more windows and plenty of natural light, and there’s a library which can easily serve as a fourth bedroom that's hidden behind a set of pocket doors. The primary suite on the second floor features cathedral ceilings and a Juliette balcony, as well as a large walk-in closet and crisp, modern bathroom with marble mosaic floors, glass-walled marble shower and extra-deep soaking tub. The third bedroom is also ensuite and is plenty large. A full, finished basement adds to the possibilities – home gym, home office, media room, play room. The pond, most of which sits within the bounds of this property, is accessed down a winding trail and over a bridge, and is home to migratory water fowl, including eagles, ducks and heron. For the fisherman or fisherwoman, there’s largemouth bass, pickerel and more, and the Kripplebush Creek is here too. The two-car garage has a second floor with roughed-in plumbing, and there’s a back-up generator in case of a power outage. There’s really nothing left to do here – the proud owners have created a dream oasis and are now ready to pass it on to its next custodian.
