Log House with 150’ Waterfall & hiking trails on 230+ acre Private Reserve *AVAILABLE BY THE MONTH ONLYImagine having your own sanctuary surrounded by thousands of acres of Park land and over 200 acres of private hiking and incredible views. This home is located in the heart of the Gunks and minutes from the Trapps, Minnewaska and New Paltz.Built in the 1890's as a hunting retreat, this log house is a private residence that has rich history within its American Chestnut walls, a wood now extinct. Decorated and added onto by the current family from the 1960's on, the house is a museum of curated artifacts and a feast for the eyes. There are several levels of decks facing the valley and 2 freshwater reflection pools as well as another facing a 150' waterfall. The sound of running water abounds. First floor: 1 small bunk room with 2 single beds and two bedrooms with queen beds all share a bathroom. 1 queen bed with en-suite bathroom is off the dining room on the first floor. This bedroom was occupied by Ralph Lauren in the 1980's when he would stay here. Dining room with vaulted ceilings seats 8 and the Living room has another dining option for 8-10. Living Room has an 1880's fire place with reading nooks and a Grand Piano. Also a chess nook, and a quiver of classic board games. The second floor is a suite unto itself with an open concept: Queen bed, living room, fireplace and two queen size reading nooks that could also sleep an additional 2 people each. A dressing room connects to the bathroom with tub and shower. This house is NOT for everyone. It is rustic and a unique experience. The fresh water reflection pool may have tadpoles or frogs due to the fact that there are no chemicals. The terrain around the house we call 'expert' terrain. It is uneven and requires attention. We have just added Mini Split AC/Heat units in both the falls room and the living room. There are fans in all of the bedrooms. This is an ideal family retreat.This home resides on Private Reserve land open to members and their guests. The 1 mile driveway requiring 4 wheel drive in winter months (or we can arrange for transport from base of mountain to the top where the home is). There are several private cabins on the Reserve as well. Unparalleled proximity to 30,000 acres of Park and Preserve land. Incredible views and surrounding nature abounds. It is a hikers and nature lovers paradise. Wineries and distilleries also abundant in the area: Hudson Whiskey, Angry Orchard, Whitecliff Vineyards and the Hudson Valley Wine Trail amongst others.Hike to Awosting Lake 1.5hrs. Hike to Gertrude's Nose 1 hr.Hike to private Atwater Falls 25 min.Tillson Lake 2 min away: for fishing and kayaking. (equipment not supplied and permit required for fishing)
