1046 Cow Hough Road, New Paltz, NY 12561

Set on a wooded one-acre parcel along quiet Cow Hough Road, this bright and cheerful 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers easy Hudson Valley living in a peaceful natural setting with just the right balance of privacy and convenience.. The home sits comfortably on the land with a relaxed, easygoing feel, surrounded by trees while still offering open yard space that is simple and manageable to care for. Inside, the main living space feels open and airy thanks to high ceilings and a comfortable flowing layout. Natural light fills the living room which centers around a fireplace and connects easily with the dining area and kitchen. The layout works well for everyday living and casual gatherings, with the kitchen opening to the main space through a breakfast counter that keeps everything connected. Sliding doors lead out to a spacious elevated deck overlooking the yard and pool, creating a natural extension of the home during the warmer months. It is an inviting spot for outdoor dining, relaxing with friends, or enjoying quiet mornings surrounded by trees. A full unfinished basement offers additional potential living space. Location is one of the standout features here. Just minutes away is the vibrant hamlet of Rosendale, a true local hub offering restaurants, a supermarket, library, movie theatre, town park, and community center with swimming pool and playground. From there it is a short drive to the charming hamlets of High Falls and Stone Ridge as well as Historic Kingston. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate the close proximity to New Paltz, known for its hiking, climbing, rail trails, and access to some of the region's most beautiful natural landscapes. The Hudson River corridor along Route 9W is nearby as well, home to destinations such as Red Maple Vineyard, El Paso Winery, and Hudson House & Distillery. For those traveling to the city, the Trailways bus stop in Rosendale provides convenient access to Port Authority. Though the property carries a New Paltz mailing address, it is located in the Town of Esopus and falls within the Kingston School District. A solid offering in today's low inventory market, this home works well as a weekend retreat or a comfortable full-time residence. Ideal for first-time buyers, but also equally suitable for those looking to downsize or simplify.
