**** HIGHEST AND BEST DUE BY THURSDAY OCT 1ST AT 5PM ****** Come to a secluded property on one of the most desirable roads in Woodstock. The private wooded driveway will lead you to a warm and bright 3 bedroom 2 bath Catskills Mountain house located on 5.9 beautiful acres. There is a stream in the back of the property that is contiguous to a 78 acre forever wild park for the exclusive use of Riverby residents for swimming, hiking, fishing, snowshoeing, sledding, etc. This move-in condition house features a 400 sqft architectural magazine level four-season screened room that has two-story high timbered sides and ceiling. Other features include a reclaimed barn-wood floor and easy opening hurricane-grade windows.

In addition, you will have a dream cooking experience with a custom designed, restaurant scale, wood burning brick oven, perfect for engaging a large crowd for a meal, or an intimate cooking and dining experience--it will definitely bring out the chef in you! With several stacks of well-seasoned firewood from the property, a large floor to ceiling natural stone wood-burning fireplace will keep you cozy during the cold months, while watching the snow falling and the occasional meandering deer.

For your pure outdoor desires, cross country ski out the back door, cook away on the stone fireplace, or just unwind and enjoy over 1,000 square feet of decks and covered areas with another dining table under the trees. A perfect day starts by using the outdoor shower while listening to the four-zone sound system. An extension was built for the media room and master bedroom with radiant heat and a nearby Kohler steam shower for year-round pampering. Behind the 11 ½ feet tall barn doors, you can have a romantic evening operating the remote-controlled gas fireplace or gazing at the stars, the sunrise, and/or the incredible fall foliage--all from the comfort of your bed. The super light-filled living room and dining area have a gas fireplace and forced-air heating; the second floor has two bedrooms and a full bath. High ceilings are throughout the house. This meticulously maintained house has a bone-dry crawl space, which could be used for additional storage, a large size lawn for gathering or games, and a shed for your outdoor equipment.
