32 Spruceton Rd West Kill, NY 12492

Enjoy the serenity of country living in the sleepy hamlet of West Kill, close to all ski centers, backed by its own 68 acres of mostly level and gently sloping acreage, offering ample privacy, backed up even further by protected land with plenty of trails that would essentially be all yours. The 1996 renovation of the spacious 1860 farm house, with its generous rooms and wide-plank flooring, is both sophisticated and warm, featuring an amazing master bedroom with its own decking and vistas of the expansive fields and two marvelous early barns. There's a lovely library off both the main living room, the upstairs landing works wonderfully well for either office or recreation space; and the kitchen and dining area can easily handle holiday crowds. As a gathering place for friends and family, it cannot really be bettered. The property is also a perfect location for horses or an organic farm. The Spruceton Valley area is home to a number of truly distinctive properties and reaches a dead end a number of miles down the road from West Kill. Traffic is only local and minimal. If anyone ever sought a turn-key gentleman's -- or gentlelady's -- farm, they need look no further. Keeping just a few acres and selling the remaining acreage to New York City Watershed, as the owners did with even a larger adjoining parcel some years ago, may be a possibility.
