Newly renovated architect's chalet near skiing, across from rail trail

Description

Chic, cozy yet spacious, and right across from the new entrance to the Ashokan Rail Trail for walking, running, biking, and seasonal cross-country skiing (ski in, ski out!). A stone’s throw from everything upstate has to offer. Towns! Phoenicia: 10 minutes. Woodstock: 15 minutes. Kingston: 25 minutes. Winter fun! Hunter Mountain: 25 minutes. Bellayre Mountain: 20 minutes. Mountain Trails Cross Country: 25 minutes. Hiking! Mountain Biking! Snow-shoeing! Did I mention our little private trail? It backs up onto Slide Mountain Wilderness. We’re right by the very best Catskills hiking, from Giant Ledge to Ashokan High Peak. Plus, upstate’s best swimming hole, Peekamoose Blue Hole, or the best swimming lake, Onteora. Music! 20 minutes from Bearsville Theater, Levon Helm’s Studio, Colony, Ashokan Center. And of course, dining and cooking! 5 minutes to the stunning Bread Alone, 7 minutes to Migliorelli’s dreamy farm stand. 10 minutes to Phoenicia Diner, Woodstock Brews, Foxfire Mountain House, The Pines. Another 15 to Arrowwood Farms, Westwind Orchards, Stone Ridge Orchards… plus all the towns have to offer. The kitchen is small but mighty, and fully equipped. Lay a feast for a crowd on the gorgeous dining table. Or just sit a hammock and stare out over the fields at the trees. Or just sit on the deck and stare out at the mountain. Snooze on the Barcelona chaise. Do yoga on the radiant floor in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Watch films projected huge on the wall. Play foozball. Gaze at the retro flames of our mid-century Danish electric fireplace. We're looking for no smoking, no serious drugs, no drama. This is a peaceful place and we like to keep it that way. We love this house and want to offer it to someone who will love -- and care for it -- too!
