Welcome to 31 Joy Ridge Road, a charming 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home nestled on a sprawling 5.97 acre lot on the border between Saugerties and Woodstock. The spacious living area has an abundance of natural light filtering in through large windows offering picturesque views of the surrounding woods. The open layout seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating the perfect space for entertaining guests around the woodburning stove or enjoying cozy dinners. The fully updated and well-appointed kitchen is a chef's delight, boasting modern appliances, ample storage, and a large breakfast bar for casual dining. The spacious primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with an en-suite bathroom designed to be a private oasis to unwind. The other two bedrooms—also on the main level—are big, light, and airy and share a full bathroom. As an added perk, the fully finished walkout basement serves as the ultimate entertainment space, featuring a spacious area perfect for socializing, a large pool table, and a full-sized bathroom to comfortably accommodate extra guests. Outside, you'll find endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, gardening, or simply basking in the tranquility of nature. Whether you're hosting a summer barbecue, stargazing, or simply relaxing on the porch, this home offers the perfect backdrop for enjoying the Catskills. Additionally, the property features several outbuildings with potential for expansion. Adjacent to the main house, there is a quaint 3-season writer's studio/art cabin, as well as a wood storage lean-to, and two additional storage sheds with heat and electric that offer the possibility of being fully finished to suit your needs. Conveniently located right on the edge of Woodstock but with a Saugerties address, this home is STR friendly and operates as a successful Airbnb, and will also come fully furnished. We can share financials with interested parties, but as always, please confirm with the town STR rules and regulations. This is the perfect location for those who want to be within a 2 hrs drive from the GWB, and have access to all types of amenities and nature. Go shopping for organic foods at Sunflower Market, have great dining options like Sylvia and Goodnight, rent paddleboards at the Esopus Creek, and enjoy the Saugerties Farmer's Market on Weekends!
With an open floorplan, the Joyful Cabin is the perfect place to gather and entertain. The first thing you notice inside are the vaulted ceilings, skylights, and calming scandi vibe. Located just a 10 min drive from the village center of Woodstock, 15 min from Saugerties, and 20 min from Kingston—this home is central to all the best local happenings. Whether you're a nature enthusiast (Thorn Preserve is just down the road), or looking to make some extra money (the home is a county-approved short term rental)—this home truly has it all. The sellers made many updates during their years of ownership, including a stylish new kitchen, refinished maple floors, standing seam metal roof, mini split ac & heat, cable railings on rear deck, new appliances throughout, and new exterior paint. In the winter, the wood-burning fireplace provides a warm hearth, and in the summer you can open the sliding doors onto the rear deck for seamless indoor/outdoor living. The home's spacious layout has the primary suite, with full bath, on one end of the house—and two additional bedrooms and a second full bath on the opposite end, offering all occupants privacy and comfort. If you're in need of more space, the partially-finished lower level can easily be completed for a rec room, office/gym, or other accessory space. The lower-level already has a full bath and rustic wood-paneled walls, as well as sliding glass doors and lots of windows that help bring the light in. The two-car garage completes the lower level, and there is also a detached studio building with electric for hobbies, storage, or other accessory use. Two additional sheds provide for outdoor tool and wood storage, as well. Mature hardwoods encircle the property, providing privacy, while smaller specimen trees like peach and ornamental cherry dot the cleared areas closer to the house. Take the winding foot path down to the stream, roast some marshmallows at one of two firepits while you stare up at the stars, or sit on the screened in porch and watch the light change through the seasons. This home has everything you need to live a comfortable, modern life in the woods. A great package in a great location, for the full-timer or weekender!

This home shines with light & promises its' next owner easy living. It's a sweet bit of Paradise, tucked away between Woodstock & Saugerties. When the Seller renovated the house she carefully integrated natural woods, stone & ceramic surfaces while adding 3 skylights & large windows to enhance the daily dance of light. Handsome ceiling fans create a cooling, or warming in winter, air movement and sturdy mahogany doors, one fitted with antique stained-glass, complement the polished maple floors. Double sliding glass doors adjacent to the kitchen open out from the cathedraled great room to a spacious deck overlooking the private sunny yard & charming studio or, playhouse! The deck definitely calls for summer BBQ's', conversation or a good book while listening to the birds or winds in the pines. In winter the house is heated with a combo of a propane fireplace & electric heat. Cozy & warm owner says very low electric heat needed in bedrooms, if at all. Grohe bathroom fixtures & a bluestone vanity are some of the upgrades added to the updated bathrooms.
