28 Church Farm Rd Gardiner, NY 12525

Rare colonial in private setting with mature landscaping in the New Paltz school district. 15+ years and over 100 trees and other plantings and the result is some of the most extensive english gardens in the area. It's truly a special setting, perfect for anyone who's always wanted established gardens but never had decades to develop it. This 4 bedroom two story home has been lovingly maintained and comes complete with a brand new kitchen, stainless appliances, formal dining, two living areas, hardwood floors, fireplace, spacious bedrooms, updated bathrooms, large walk in closet and high ceilings in the master suite. Here you can have the backyard you've always wanted, your own veggie garden, the rocking chair front porch, plus a pool (2012) set away from the house in it's own private nook with patio and fire pit. This nature sanctuary with seasonal mountain views must be seen to be appreciated. Long blacktop driveway (2013) leads you into an oasis of perennials including Irises, Lilies, hostas, bee balm, and more which are a haven for butterflies and hummingbirds. Something in bloom throughout the seasons, too many to list but if you can think of it it's probably here. The grounds are comprised of what seems like endless specimen trees, Catalpas, various Birches, Oaks, white pines, Magnolias, Weeping Cedars and Cherries, Willows, all the best Maples, Canadian Blue Spruces, Boxwoods, Rose of Sharon, Wisteria, and Hydrangea, plus more. Then there's the stone walls and patios, pergolas, and a large back deck for family gatherings and BBQ's. Many other updates inside the home and a large basement with zoned heat ready for finishing. Large connected his and hers sheds offer storage and workshop space. There's something special here, not often for sale in this area, at this price, in this school district. Owners are sad to let it go but have a new adventure and next chapter on the west coast to get to. It's been an incredible place to call home and their hope is to pass the torch to someone who will appreciate all the years of hard work, love, and attention to detail that have gone in, both inside and out. The next owner will get a brand new kitchen and a private enclave all to themselves that's just minutes away from the village of Gardiner, close striking distance to New Paltz village, local rail trails, and all the hiking/biking/climbing you can handle. Unless you look well above 500k there's nothing else like this on the market right now.
