551 Mount Guardian Rd Extension, Bearsville, NY 12409

Wend up a pristine country road to this 2,300 sq ft Woodstock contemporary--arriving to total seclusion and picturesque views, yet only minutes to the Village Green. This domain is set on 4+ private acres with an additional almost 4 acre, separately-deeded, contiguous parcel that makes it an ideal property for a compound, or to use with its maximum natural buffer for ultimate privacy. Close proximity to State land and trails from your own private road (above the house) further adds to the splendor of the premises. Step into an open, flowing layout connecting the stunning, sleek and seductive kitchen with the dining and living areas. The kitchen provides easy access to an outdoor herb garden and BBQ space out back. All this is married together by vaulted and beamed ceilings, expansive windows throughout, and doors out of every first-level room--seamlessly connecting indoor spaces with outdoor living and creating a truly natural retreat. The living room basks in sunlight and boasts walls of windows and skylights, and flows out to a peaceful deck overlooking those famous Catskill Mountain views. Although the town shows this home as a 2-bedroom, the current owner is using a first floor den as an additional guest-sleeping-area. This room is joined to the main living space through a charming office/sitting area, and is surrounded by sliding glass doors with walkways to the lovely outdoors. Cozy up to a massive wood stove after enjoying outdoor activities, or just to read a novel on cold winter nights. Upstairs, youre greeted by an open loge that leads to two large bedrooms--including a primary with a NYC loft-like feel--and a luxurious shared bath. Wood floors and rich natural details add warmth and character throughout the house. Multiple decks and walkways lead to the surrounding grounds that feature a broad landscaped lawn, a fern meadow, forest, gardens with perennial plantings, and a small fruit tree orchard--perfect for outdoor enjoyment and entertaining for everyone. Dine al fresco just outside the kitchen, host gatherings, or simply relax in this tranquil setting. Electric service to the property is underground so there are no ungainly wires cluttering your views. Energy-efficient systems include: a massive rooftop solar array with backup battery, geothermal wells, and an electric car charging station that provide near off-the-grid living with minimal utility bills. All this, just minutes from Woodstocks curated shops, chef-owned restaurants, cultural attractions and recreational options, and live music events at the Bearsville Theatre. Enjoy Belleayre or Hunter Mountain and all the Catskills have to offer. A rare offering combining privacy, sustainability, and style. A pleasure to see and show!
