Approach the front gate and wait for the magic to unfold- you're welcomed into a world where elegance meets nature in perfect harmony. A meandering driveway guides you through meticulously maintained landscapes, each turn revealing another enchanting view. Lush green lawns stretch out, punctuated by vibrant flowerbeds. The tranquil pond anchored by enchanting willows draws you closer, its water dancing in the sunlight. It's a place where time seems to slow, allowing you to savor each moment and every detail. Perched atop a hill overlooking the pond is a timeless 1800 farmhouse with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its vintage character, it offers warm wood details, sunlit rooms, and a welcoming floor plan. A blue stone patio leads you to the exceptional outdoor kitchen and dining area. Covered by a pergola adorned by grape vines and shimmering lights creating a magical alfresco dining experience. Next, you're greeted by a luxurious outdoor space redefining leisure. With soaring ceilings, a dramatic stone fireplace, and curtains that open seamlessly to the outdoors, it feels like an extension of nature itself. Perfectly sited to indulge in the dramatic views of the pristine grounds, vistas beyond, and Mohonk Mountain House. As you descend the stone stairs, you'll find the sparkling in-ground pool framed by beautiful hydrangeas. The pool house is a true gem of this estate. Inside, you'll find a chic lounge area, kitchenette, full bath, radiant heat, and sauna, making it an ideal spot to relax with a cool drink or a light snack. Accordion style glass doors seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. For those seeking more active pursuits, the estate boasts a private tennis and basketball court set amidst lush greenery. Situated near the main house is a 2 car garage with attached living space. Inside, you'll find a cozy studio perfect for guests or an artist's retreat, bathed in natural light featuring a kitchenette, full bath and its own beautiful garden. Wander further, and you'll discover a charming guest house nestled among the trees, offering privacy and comfort to visitors. The meandering trails through the property make exploration easy whether that's by hiking, ATVs or even horseback riding. Fenced in meadows provide an idyllic space for animals to graze and play, adding to the estate's pastoral charm. Set between two of the meadows is an expansive barn, a testament to the estate's seamless blend of rustic charm and modern functionality. This space currently houses a vintage tractor collection but provides flexibility for a multitude of uses. Across the path is a second pond and charming stone bridge, where the gentle sound of water and the rustling of leaves create a symphony of nature. The second barn is a car collector's haven, designed to showcase a prized collection. Boasting 4,000 sqft with four commercial-grade doors, polished concrete floors, radiant heat, a spacious loft, and a full bath, it offers far more than storage—it's a statement of luxury and functionality. The property's essential systems are top-notch, with multiple water sources and and a generator for each structure to ensure comfort and convenience. In every corner of this extraordinary estate, the boundaries between luxury and nature dissolve, creating a sanctuary unlike any other. Opportunities like this are exceedingly rare—an estate of this scale, beauty, and versatility simply does not come to market often. For those seeking not just a home but a one-of-a-kind legacy property, this private Stone Ridge estate is ready to exceed every expectation.
