I walked into this house and exclaimed, "I love it." Here is a great, well cared for barn inspired, loft-like home for those who truly want peace, privacy and to be totally surrounded by ones own lovely woodlands & nature. The wooden framing and 200 year old pine floors were transferred from a 19th century barn to the site. This living work of art is a visual artists and "perfectionists" home. It reflects his unique sense of space with an open, clean design- and, importantly decks to view the pond, wildlife and the clear, clean night stars. The home is built with three levels. The loft (imagine it was where the hay was kept long ago), overlooks gorgeous beamed ceilings and a stone wall with the huge stone fireplace as a focal point in the open living, dining & visually sparkling clean & updated kitchen. From the main floor, great room, you'll have two deck choices. One a screen porch and the other a large over-sized deck overlooking the swimming pond and woodlands. It is on this deck that you'll want to live in temperate weather, day or night! The third story is the open loft above the great room. From these areas take the spiral staircase to discover two good sized bedrooms and and the second updated bath. From this ground level, nicely separated from the rest of the home, you can walk straight out to the pond- when in the mood. Or, take a short skip to the outdoor wood-fired sauna house. The 9.56 acres offers trails, options to clear trees and to create an open meadow space which would open up the views out to Mohonk & then the Gunks! With the ability to clear the trees there is the possibility to sell wood & even the possibility to cover the cost of clearing! The Seller purchased this property which had the foundation poured in 1979. The barn had been taken apart & was built here specifically for the country ambiance. This owner renovated the entire space in 2015 restoring a gleaming beauty to the original wood, flooring & beams.
