Set on more than eight acres between New Paltz and Gardiner, this unique Hudson Valley property offers the space and privacy of country living while keeping you close to everything the area is known for. Two stocked ponds, open fields, mature landscaping and peaceful views create a setting that feels like your own private retreat. Spend the morning fishing by the pond, gardening, enjoying coffee while the sun rises over the property, or simply taking in the quiet. For equestrians, hobby farmers or those dreaming of a homestead, the property is already well suited for horses and livestock, with fenced areas, shed-row stalls and additional outbuildings. When you want to explore, some of the Hudson Valley’s best hiking, farm markets, wineries, breweries and restaurants are only minutes away. The nearby Wallkill Valley Rail Trail offers miles of walking, biking and horseback riding, while New Paltz provides easy access to the NYS Thruway. Metro-North service from Poughkeepsie and Beacon also makes trips to New York City convenient. The property may also offer agricultural-use opportunities, including the potential for an agricultural business and possible tax benefits for qualifying uses, subject to applicable requirements. Inside, the home offers nearly 3,000 square feet of flexible living space. The three-bedroom layout includes a spacious primary suite with a walk-in shower and soaking tub, another full bath upstairs, and additional rooms that can serve as guest space, home offices, studios or whatever best fits your lifestyle. At the heart of the home is an expansive living room with beamed cathedral ceilings and long windows overlooking the fields. It is equally suited for quiet evenings at home or gathering with family and friends. A formal dining room connects to the kitchen, which opens directly to the rear deck and outdoor living space. Just off the kitchen, a cozy second living area with a fireplace looks out over the property and provides an ideal place to enjoy those beautiful Hudson Valley mornings. The main level also includes laundry, a half bath and an additional flexible room that works beautifully as an office, den, yoga room or guest space. A walk-up attic provides additional possibilities, while the full basement offers direct access to the two-car garage. With acreage, water, privacy, flexible living space and an exceptional location between New Paltz and Gardiner, this is much more than a horse property. It is an opportunity to create your own Hudson Valley retreat, homestead or country lifestyle just minutes from everything that makes this area special.
