It's easy to become captivated by this Woodstock estate property as the tranquility of country living is intertwined with exceptional natural beauty- all backing up to thousands of acres of New York State conservation land. Upon arrival, ones eye is drawn toward the picturesque view of the two homes with their graceful meandering year-round stream flowing behind both. The primary house has 2/3 bedrooms. Additionally there is the Cotswold inspired one bedroom guest house to enjoy. The flowing stream creates a continuous melody while the tranquil waters reflect surrounding trees and majestic mountains. Nestled amongst trees is the property's original three-story tower designed by architect Jeffrey Millstein. The tower has been ingeniously redesigned to enhance the seamless fusion of original tower-home with it's new 1500 sq ft Lindal addition that includes a 60' wall of windows. Stepping inside the house one is greeted with a blend of both casual elegance and grandeur. Large floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with natural light inviting the the beauty of nature inside while the two level living, dining and primary bedroom addition exude charm and functionality. The tower's architectural marvel offers additional live/work space or bedrooms as well as a delightful sitting room. This is the perfect spot for engaging conversations or quiet meditation. Each tower level offers a deck or screened porch above the stream- so very easy to escape into the height of the trees while becoming immersed in this paradise of their movement and water sounds. The sleek new kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line Bosch appliances and fixtures enhancing culinary exploration and pleasing the most discerning chef. The primary bedroom and its spa-like bathroom, plus large walk-in closet access the bluestone terraced patio and landscape along the stream to provide the ultimate sanctuary from which to unwind and reconnect with nature. The separate Cotswold country-inspired guest house is connected via bluestone sculpted stairs and walkway. The cottage is a pristine two story tastefully designed work of perfection. Enjoy the sunny front morning deck or linger on the large back deck to absorb the calm and ever changing stream and woodland. A new sparkling kitchen and spacious white bathroom both add to the cottage's comfort. The property's intriguing design and location continually invite one to embrace its idyllic surroundings while creating memories that will last a lifetime. The pristine forever wild land surrounding the property is ripe for exploration and the discovery of waterfalls, trails or even visits to the private Grogkill community pond.
