It’s a rare property that makes you want to giggle with delight - and this home can’t help but bring a smile to your face. A few minutes outside of New Paltz (easy access to amenities and NYC!), this feels like a remote tree house with a view of the Shawangunk ridge that’s close enough to see climbers. And with the Mohonk Preserve just behind the property, you can be climbing yourself (or—with a reservation—enjoying a spa treatment or meal at the Mohonk Mountain House!) in less than an hour of hiking from your back door. Extensive elevated decking has multiple spaces for dining, relaxing, and enjoying that view. The house itself has unusual angles, high ceilings, and plenty of windows, so you’re enveloped in reminders of the surrounding nature and a feeling of drama and charm that ultimately works in a surprisingly practical way. The accessory apartment opens up opportunities for income, work from home, or additional guest or family space. A special offering for lovers of nature and unique architecture alike.
