The Chapel House - West Saugerties NY. On a quiet country road in the mountains of Saugerties, fifteen minutes from Woodstock Village and close to ski slopes, stands a craftsman homestead built for the way you actually want to live. The town has zoned the property for both residential and legal Bed and Breakfast perfect for yoga retreats, company events and private celebrations. Mornings on the large veranda under a mature kiwi arbor, coffee in hand, the fire pit still warm from the night before is a typical morning. A fenced in kitchen garden producing potatoes, blueberries, peaches, peppers and tomatoes by the season; A spring-fed pond with a stone fire pit at its edge and the Catskill mountains rising directly behind; A chef's kitchen anchored by a professional Wolf range, double -wide built-in stainless steel refrigerator, and a deep farmhouse sink, opening up onto a dining room that seats twelve is all part of the property. A billiard room for after dinner sits next to the kitchen. An owned net metered solar array greatly offsetting the home's energy use is also included. At the heart of the home, a vaulted great room with cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and a stained glass altar window that catches the morning light - built for a crowd or quiet evening with equal grace. The floor plan flexes for the way people live now. Four sleeping rooms, 3 on the taxes) anchor the home's second floor with 6 additional rooms ready to become whatever your life requires - art studios, home offices, a library, mediation room, music / media room or additional guest bedrooms. A spa primary bath with a tiled walk-in shower and multiple heads, and a clawfoot soaking bath are there to enjoy and relax. A separate red barn with covered porch, currently a music studio on one side and work shop on the other, offers doors wide enough to drive through either end and adds yet another feature - car garage,dance studio, future ADU. Whatever the property is asking to become there is room for it. And then there is the history. Built in 1930, commissioned, by as local legend has it, by a Prohibition -era bootlegger, the home was later inherited by the owner's only daughter, a nun, who turned it into a retreat for nuns and those in need. In 1954, she added a new chapel that now serves as the great room. Jazz drummer Dan Brubeck - son of jazz legend Dave Brubeck- later owned the property and recorded music there. Timothy Leary and Ram Dass were known visitors through the years. Close to skiing, swimming holes, and three of the Hudson Valley's vibrant towns - Saugerties, Catskill and Woodstock. A homestead with a story and room to write the next chapter.
