Nestled at the base of the Ashokan High Point mountain, one of the Catskills' most scenic peaks, this beautifully appointed, rustic 5.7-acre retreat is set back generously from a quiet country road just minutes from the Ashokan Reservoir. Custom built in 2000, the stylish, move-in-ready home features multiple great spaces for gathering with friends and family, both inside and out, starting with the deep end-to-end-covered verandah in front and the even larger blue-stone patio in back. Inside, the house features a dramatic living room with a fireplace and double-height beamed ceiling, all visible and open to the sunny dining room and conveniently laid-out kitchen with adjoining laundry room, half bath and spacious 2-car garage. The main level also features 2 cozy bedrooms and a newly renovated full bathroom with radiant-floor heating and a custom glass-enclosed rain shower. Upstairs, the enormous and sunny primary suite features a cathedral ceiling, windows on 3 exposures, seating and work areas, a walk-in closet plus a stunning new en-suite bathroom with open shower, soaking tub and radiant-floor heating. And just down the open hallway overlooking the living room is a TV or reading loft with 5-point sound also suitable for a home office. If more at-home work space is required, the semi-finished basement features no less than 2 offices, a sound-recording booth, a pellet stove and plenty of additional room for storage and hobbies. Out back, the wooded and completely private back yard has a large bluestone patio with room for separate gathering and dining areas, a covered grilling area and, beyond, a fire pit, hammock and spacious storage shed. Other recent upgrades include an owned (not leased) Sol-Ark 22-amp rooftop solar array and system that has reduced standard monthly electric bills for the current owners dramatically; it also acts as a whole-house generator during power failures. Inside and out, the vibe here is warm, relaxing and ready-to-enjoy, when you're not hiking the nearby trails and reservoir, or enjoying Woodstock and the many other attractions that have made Olivebridge one of the hottest destinations in the Hudson Valley.
