Description

Woodstock Custom Compound - Create your own private family compound on 2.437 serene acres in the Woodstock Hamlet of Wittenberg--an exceptional to-be-built offering that brings together architectural vision, artisan materials, and the craftsmanship of noted builder James Nelson. This unique project includes a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath main residence, a one-bedroom guest house, and a detached, oversized two-car garage with integrated workshop and storage, for a combined 3,440 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. By working directly with James Nelson, you gain the rare chance to shape a compound tailored to your family's needs--whether as a full-time multi-generational retreat, a year-round home base, or a refined escape for gathering and entertaining. Nelson will construct your home using indigenous Eastern White Pine harvested, milled, and cured on-site, an approach that ensures material quality while creating a profound connection between architecture and the surrounding landscape. His own beautifully crafted main house, guest house, and garage--located adjacent to the property--serve as real-world models for the design, detailing, and atmosphere of your custom build, offering an invaluable reference point as you envision your finished compound. All structures will be completed in a modern, clean-lined style, featuring high ceilings with exposed 6'' × 12'' and 3'' × 12'' beams, striking rooflines on a 1 × 12 pitch, and polished concrete floors with radiant heat. Energy-efficient heat pump ductless mini-splits provide additional heating and cooling throughout, combining comfort with sustainability. Generous allowances enable you to select your preferred appliance package, kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities, and fireplace style, ensuring your new home reflects your personal aesthetic. Optional enhancements, including an in-ground swimming pool, solar power integration, and a fourth bedroom for the main house, further expand the potential of this one-of-a-kind property. Set in a tranquil neighborhood midway between Woodstock and Phoenicia, this location places you at the heart of the Hudson Valley-Catskill region discovered for its world-class natural beauty, outdoor recreational resources, farms, restaurants and vibrant live music & arts scene.
