This Catskills post and beam chalet style cabin has soaring ceilings and is privately sited on 5.78 acres, surrounded by forever wild DEP land on 2 sides. The soothing sounds of the stream will lull you to sleep at night and on those long hot summer days, you can dip your toes in the delightful cool mountain water. The property is magical with a mix of cleared and wooded areas for sun and forest bathing! A Bocce court and stage (with electric) enhance all outdoor gatherings both large and small. The seller got married here and they have made many happy memories at this home. The house itself embraces cabin life with rustic beams throughout and a "tree house" feel on the upper level. Upon entering there is a welcoming living/family room with separate music and media areas. Cozy up to the wood stove in Winter after a day on the slopes or Autumn hike. This level also has two bedrooms and a newly renovated full bath. Upstairs opens up to a vaulted high ceiling with sight lines from end to end encompassing the kitchen, dining room, primary suite and den area- a unique space with charm and character galore. In addition there is a loft space accessed by a library style ladder that is finished and has been used as office space, meditation room, guest overflow and lots of family sleepovers. The large outdoor yoga platform also serves as a stage for musicians and with 50 AMP electric service it could be a perfect spot for a hot tub or outdoor sauna. The seller have done quite a bit of infrastructure work on the property. After $50,000 was spent in tree clearing, plentiful electric work has been done so that power runs throughout the property for future dwelling expansion. In addition there is architectural landscape lighting which highlights the forest. In a great location close to restaurants, galleries, farmers markets, fishing, kayaking, skiing, music and theatre in both Woodstock and Phoenicia. 2 Hrs to Manhattan.
