445 Plutarch Rd Highland, NY 12528

Come experience this 'One of a Kind', 'Sawtooth' styled contemporary home, gently nestled within over 11 acres of wonder and wildlife. This unique home has been lovingly designed and built by the current owner, with thoughtful additions added on through the years. Open floor plan is perfect for today's lifestyle! The central living area, boasts soaring beamed ceilings, radiant heated natural bluestone flooring, and custom built-ins. Wood stove rests on raised stone hearth with brick back drop, adding warmth to the center of this bright and inviting space. The galley kitchen is modest, but is supported by one of the largest walk-in pantries you'll ever see, a perfect home for all your kitchen supplies in addition to the washer-dryer. Master bedroom suite is massive, with two oversized walk in closets, wood burning brick fireplace, floor to ceiling windows, and full bath with 2 person Jacuzzi tub. Master is large enough to accommodate sitting area or exercise area with space for even more! Newest addition is the office/library/ main floor third bedroom, featuring a wall of shelves for all your collectables. Woodworking was done on site, creating custom cabinets and shelving; the wood was milled from oak trees which once grew on the property! Massive windows embrace the beauty that surrounds and drench the interior with light. South facing windows, designed as passive solar: in the winter the sunshine warms the living space and the two foot overhangs shade the windows in summer. The second floor bedroom is also finished with custom builtins. Oak floors run throughout the balance of the house. Mechanics of the house are maintained yearly, including boiler, chimney, back-up automatic generator and pest control. Whole house Culligan water system is owned, and reverse osmosis drinking water system is rented. Did I mention the 23' x 40' detached garage? This 2 story structure, has the garage below (could accommodate 3 carefully positioned autos) and upstairs is a workshop, heated and complete with a wall air conditioner and ground level deck! A line was run for easy access to water, making the possibilities endless for studio space or even possibly an accessory living space with town approval! Over 400' of beautiful stone walls run along Plutarch and throughout the property. All the stone was gathered from the property to create these works of art. The Black Creek runs at the end of the property, as some of the land is designated wetlands, hence forever wild, so what you see today is the same as it was 100 years ago. Watch beautiful sunrises from the comfort of your bedroom suite, or sipping your coffee overlooking your very own nature sanctuary! Just minutes from downtown New Paltz and the NYSThruway Exit 18. Poughkeepsie Metro-north train station and Walkway over the Hudson are less than 20 minutes away! Hiking, Biking on the local Rail Trails or in the thousands of acres of Preserve and State Park Lands just minutes away!! If your not looking for 'a cookie-cutter' home, don't miss this opportunity to make this house your HOME for 2019!
