182 Chase Rd Shokan, NY 12481

Enjoy the splendor and seclusion of all the Catskills has to offer on this beautiful and privately situated home. This impressive treasure has been in the same family since 1919. The historic Dutch Barn was relocated from Old Hurley in 1927 to its current site below Ticeteneyck Mountain in Shokan. A growing family necessitated the addition of a spacious, open floor plan, mid-century modern home with generously sized rooms in 1968. The attached barn and home feature two story vaulted roofs surrounded with wide, loft like balconies. Two massive river stone fireplaces hearken back to days of old. Walnut floors grace the home affectionately known to the family as the "The Folly"; wide pine floors in the 1450 square foot barn. Massive hand hewn chestnut beams distinguish this uniquely preserved Dutch Barn. Exit thru the double dutch door of the barn onto the beautiful ,blue stone covered patio that looks out over the gently sloping lawns and meadows, with seasonal views of the Ashokan Reservoir, and your own mature apple orchard and organic garden. Relax in the grand and gracious living and dining room, with huge two story windows and doors that share the same meadow views. An abundance of light filters through, even on the grayest of days. The open floor plan (a total of 40'x16') allows for creative and flexible design. A few steps away to an extraordinarily large kitchen,always the center of every home. The quintessential long family table easily fits in this kitchen that features beautiful blonde maple custom cabinets and generous counter/work space. A second sink makes for prep or use as a wet bar a breeze. The main floor of this home features two bedrooms: a master suite, and a second bedroom,also with its own bathroom. The 2nd floor has a 3rd bedroom with a guest bath. Both the main floor and the 2nd floor have access to the barn, where a 4th, pine paneled bedroom/study/bonus room is located. There is also a 1000 square foot ,one bedroom, accessory apartment with its own entrance. Access may also be had from both the house and from the basement level/garage. This would make a wonderful service apartment, home for a family member, or continue its current use as a rental. The Thanksgiving Holidays were never complete without a roaring fire and square dancing in the barn,to which family and friends partied to the music of Earl Pardini and the Flying Fiddlers. It is time for you to create your own magic and memories.
