About this home
A RARE OFFERING ADJACENT TO THE MOHONK PRESERVE
A beautiful, ecologically-intended home surrounded by native gardens is tucked away on a winding wooded driveway off Mountain Rest Rd on top of the Shawangunk Ridge, a stone's throw from the Mohonk Mountain House entrance. Hike/mt bike OUT YOUR DOOR onto protected land and easily access Bonticou Crag and other carriage paths and trails laced through the Mohonk Preserve.
A decade ago this property was a blank canvas and over the years the owners have intentionally transformed the nearly 4 acres with a deep respect for the local ecosystem. Many of the invasive plants have been removed and in their place have been planted a vibrant tapestry of Hudson Valley native plants, inviting back the local birds, pollinators, and wildlife. This ecological commitment shines through in the eco-conscious landscaping choices, including the planting of sustainable ''no mow'' grass and the addition of a gorgeous planted meadow featuring vibrant lupines and echinacea. The outdoor space features gardens and foraging highlights: 5 distinct specialized gardens all secured by professional deer fencing: the Vegetable Garden, the Arboretum, the Evergreen Area, the East Garden Tree nursery, and a large Permaculture area in addition to an active sugar bush that generates gallons of maple syrup each year.

THE HOME itself is designed to bring this outside magic in. One enters through a cedar covered porch crafted by one of the gentlemen who builds the gazebos on the Mohonk Mountain House property. An expansive, open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining room create a fluid, airy heart of the home bathed in natural light completely blurring the line between indoor comfort and the natural world. This stunning open space flows directly out onto a huge two-level deck, featuring a pergola and greenhouse, offering the perfect platform for entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the panoramic views of your self-sustaining ecosystem. A large hot tub is perfect for evening star-gazing.
Two bedrooms are on the main floor and the third is on the lower level in addition to an office space that has its own exterior entrance for a possible home business. (one of the current owners has an at-home chiropractic office ) There are three full bathrooms and one one even has a sauna! There is a highly functional laundry room with dedicated space for the washer, dryer, chest freezer, and utility sink. There is also an exercise room off the lower garage entrance.
This home combines modern living with exceptional energy efficiency, significantly reducing your monthly utility bills. The attic features premium spray foam insulation directly under the roofline, creating a tightly sealed thermal envelope that helps keep the house comfortable year-round. Heating and cooling are powered by a highly efficient multi-zone heat pump system, allowing for precise temperature control in different areas of the house. There is also an oil-burning backup furnace for extreme temperatures. The garage features an installed EV car charger. Best of all, extensive solar panel arrays span across two optimal roof surfaces, harnessing maximum sunlight to generate clean, renewable electricity and offset your energy bills.. Enjoy a sustainable, future-ready lifestyle without sacrificing comfort.Amenities are very close by in New Paltz and Poughkeepsie on the Hudson side of the Shawangunk Ridge as well as High Falls/Stone Ridge on the Catskill side. The Thruway exit is minutes away. For the next owner, this property offers a rare chance to be the next caretaker of a beautiful, well-thought out turnkey homestead that will offer them a deeply peaceful sanctuary and an ability to access over 8000 thousand protected acres....
