Pure Woodstock magic. This enchanting two-bedroom, Craftsman-style home with a separate studio is set among gardens and woods, with an incredible bonus: Out the back gate are hundreds of acres of DEP land and access to Wilson State Park, perfect for hiking, exploring, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. There’s so much privacy and quiet here. A long driveway passes beneath towering pines before arriving at a handmade cedar gate designed by the current artist-owner. Every detail of this serene property has been thoughtfully curated: from the battery-operated, motion-sensitive lights leading to the front porch to the home’s many skylights that allow light in during the day and views of the stars at night. The home’s main living area features an open-plan kitchen with an island, separate dining area, sliders to the patio, and comfortable space for seating beside a wood stove set on a raised platform. This “heart of the house” separates the main bedroom (with a walk-in closet and full bath) from the home’s foyer, combined half bath/laundry, and second large bedroom, unique for its romantic, treehouse feel. This bedroom features built-in bookcases and a door that leads to the bluestone patio, fire pit, lawn and garden area, and a gate to state land. (About half of the property is protected by deer fencing.) Adjacent to the bedroom is a small den/reading room that could serve as an office, library, nursery, or playroom. Behind the house, a path leads to a garden/utility shed with independent electric. A beautiful 13x18-foot studio is a stroll away, past a wonderland of trees and bushes that burst with color and fragrance in the warm months. Featuring windows, a security system, and its own electric and heat, this well-insulated space could be a lovely yoga or art studio, a large office, or a place to write in tranquility. Another plus for the property is the standby generator. The gate in the deer fencing behind the house leads to the pièce de résistance: Kenneth L. Wilson State Park, with its gorgeous mountain trails and stunning vistas, a camping and day-use area, and an 80-foot wildlife viewing platform along the shore of the Little Beaverkill ("kill" is Dutch for "stream"). The park would be a wonderful place to take guests. For dining and entertainment, the drive to the Woodstock Village Green is only 5.2 miles. Phoenicia and Kingston are nearby. The George Washington Bridge in Manhattan is approximately 100 miles from this inspiring Catskills sanctuary adjacent to state land.
