Looking for all in one? Distinguished style in a sweetly private and enchanting woodland setting only minutes from the Village of Woodstock. This Earthship pulls you in like a hug the moment you arrive at the gate. The welcoming studio with carport is the precursor to the attractive two-level contemporary on this shielded 3-acre parcel with seasonal mountain views. An open-concept first floor that is fronted by two sunspaces opening via new French doors to the main space. An updated kitchen and dining area to one side and an inviting living space to the other, all connected with exposed beams and centered by a cast iron woodburning stove. It feels modern with a touch of chalet that also translates to the second floor with its three individualistic bedrooms and a reading nook by the wraparound front balcony which overlooks the magnificent bluestone patio below, the most exquisite place for outdoor entertainment. The large composite back deck is the place for hot tubbing. The home was designed according to passive solar principles, with a sun-soaking front and earth berm sheltering on the northern wall. In 2019/20, a comprehensive renovation (a full list is available) was undertaken in partnership with LDR Group - The Passive House Specialist. Highlights include replacement of a propane furnace with 6 electric heat pumps and, upstairs, new wood floors and European tilt turn triple pane windows in all bedrooms and both front & back doors. The east bedroom was completely redone and re-insulated, as was the attic, with spray foam insulation. A new rear retaining wall and French drains secure the property. New metal roofs and gutters crown the house and the two-story studio, which was renovated to serve as a sun-drenched office/play/guest space, with a ductless heat pump, hard wood floors and glass doors. Other improvements include a new skylight and front doors, several Solatubes, bluestone pathways and ample parking. Let's talk about the grounds! For the avid gardener, there are multiple native perennial gardens lovingly developed throughout the property, and a 3-page planting catalogue is available upon request. The pesticide free property is registered on the Pollinator Pathway and is fully deer fenced. It is pure bliss to forest- and garden bathe here, experiencing the beauty of it all. There are walking trails meandering through the parcel accentuated by Opus 40 inspired sculptures. Find the seasonal waterfall to the west - gushing, babbling or quiet at times, then take the incline behind the house and admire the rock formations reminding you that you are in the Catskills, pause at the highest point and enjoy the view. Arrive back at the ''playgrounds' with a fire pit, wood teepee and a front lawn for fun and relaxation. The cutting garden by the studio is a universe in itself, but the best way to find out is to see it for yourself! Join us for an open house on Saturday, November 14, 11 am to 2 pm.
