3 Forest Glen Rd New Paltz, NY 12561

You have found your haven. This truly unique and dramatic property is a private enclave, 90 miles from Manhattan in New Paltz, NY. It is a stunning conversion of a large horse barn, built by the original Marlboro man, with far reaching views of the Shawangunk Ridge and the Smiley Tower. A sweeping 1200 foot Evergreen tree lined drive leads you to this French country barn style home, one that was entirely renovated less than a decade ago to preserve its charms while upgrading its space and details with the most elegant of aesthetics. Enter the grand gallery where horse stalls once stood. You will be instantly immersed in the serenity of this recently updated entry space, surrounded by hand-hune stone masonry and radiant heated tile flooring. This entry level also features a private wine cellar, yoga studio and meditation solarium. Upstairs is the heart of the home with a large sun-drenched kitchen complete with Viking stove, a honed marble back splash and counters, a ceiling of reclaimed barn wood, and top of the line appliances. You will find comfort in the open family room complimented by the same ceiling of richly grained barn siding, hand hewn beams and a floor handcrafted with earthy Italian limestone, imported directly from Italy and customized for this home. A first floor master bedroom suite offers pure serenity with its dark wood floors and hand plastered walls in a warm, caramel hue. Newly renovated master bath has two walk in closets, shower and jacuzzi bathtub. French doors lead you to the terrace, which is also covered in that same magnificent Italian stone, thus giving a continuous flow between inside and out. Once outside you can enjoy the private saline pool lined with black plaster inset with pebbles, an Alaskan cedar hot tub and massive lounge area. Enjoy the private lounge room next to the pool to take a break, read a book or nap. All of this is designed to appreciate the ever changing and truly majestic view while enjoying complete privacy on all sides. The third floor offers a media room, where you can curl up alone or watch your favorite movies with friends and family. Two more bedrooms and a sitting room complete the space. An enchanting one bedroom guest house on the property offers privacy for your visitors. There is also a wonderful old barn, which would be perfect for almost anything! This very special offering exudes peace and tranquility. It was featured in Architectural Digest by the internationally famed architectural and design firm of Bonetti / Kozerski as "old but unsentimental, rough-hewn but polished, rigorously considered but not precious.
