98 Ratterman Rd, Woodstock, NY 12498

This approximately 4000 sq ft Woodstock complex offers a multitude of living options, including the consideration of a monthly income via the several rental opportunities. Almost in the heart of town, it is zoned as a legal three family residence. Originally a spiritual retreat and gathering spot, the past several owners have lived in the main section of the home and had both extended family and friends living in the two creatively designed attached guest quarters. The primary living area has a two-story great room with skylights and seems to be an even larger and more dramatic room. There are two attached guest/income apartments. Additionally, there is also a detached, private one-bedroom pool house/studio building or guest quarters sited separately from the large primary structure. The last owner was a recording engineer and used the studio/pool house as a recording studio too! The saline pool, so glorious from the spring into mid-fall, is designed discretely into the center of the compound and is surrounded by mature landscaping- offering almost total privacy from the house with peak a boo sapphire blue glimpse of the water from the great room. Summer evenings, or rainy warm days are enjoyed from a screen porch for conversation, reading and drinks or dining. Optionally, there is also a small deck which has access from two sections of the main structure. What a location! It's across from the pastoral Woodstock Country Club golf course- some people may stroll to town, or easily head up Ratterman and around the hillside for quiet neighborhood meditations, something valued by almost everyone even more after their covid experiences. Fencing along Ratterman adds substantially to the privacy of the entire property. Here truly is a palette upon which to imagine a total and expansive Woodstock lifestyle; a perfect spot to integrate home, comfort and a multitude of business options as well. Woodstock so long appreciated for its natural beauty and its music and art scene has also become a culinary destination. The Hudson Valley is an epicenter for the farm-to-table movement producing quality regional cheeses, meats, artisanal wines, breweries, and spirits. Local farm stands and Wednesday’s farmer's market provide an abundance of all things organic, grass-fed, free range, and garden hand-picked. Woodstock and environs are truly one of the jewels in our topsy turvy world providing privacy, friendships, amazing schools, art, and natural beauty. Close to perfection.
