Peaceful, private and just minutes to the center of Saugerties. This 1975 custom-built ranch home is meticulously maintained and lovingly cared for. The expansive 9 acre property is a gracious natural setting for the house, the functional horse barn and the garage/workshop. This home offers the potential for easy, one-level living with a spacious first floor layout that includes a primary bedroom with en suite bathroom, guest bedroom and main floor laundry room. The large eat-in kitchen has been renovated with chefs in mind and opens into a light-filled dining area. The living space offers four seasons of enjoyment where you can watch the leaves change through the oversized windows. It is the perfect spot for curling up with a good book in front of the dramatic gas fireplace or hosting friends for game night. The walk-out basement is fully and thoughtfully finished with an additional bedroom and flexible common space with lots of light and two exterior entries. Closets and storage abound throughout. Significant investment into energy efficiency over the years reward the owners with super-low utility costs and many years they receive a credit for electric sold to Central Hudson! When you finally make it outside, you will be delighted with an expansive back deck perfect for entertaining or enjoying open skies and starry nights from the hot tub. The property is captivating year-round with a wide-open field and a meandering stream at the rear of the property. Multiple additional structures enhance the property, including a two-car carport (2013), a two-car garage-turned-workshop with electric and its own wood-burning stove (2015) and a horse barn in excellent condition with thoughtfully appointed tack-room (1998). A rural setting yet with easy access to Kingston and Woodstock, and only a stones throw from HITS and village of Saugerties. Well suited for full-time living or a lovely weekend getaway; ideal for nature lovers and homebodies alike! Constant love, attention and care make this home a well-kept jewel.
