8 Pencil Hill Rd, New Paltz, NY 12561

EXTREMELY RARE. Almost new construction in an elevated private village setting overlooking seasonal views of the Wallkill River and Shawangunk ridge below. This 4 season contemporary village tree house was designed for privacy, comfort, and relaxed easy living. Only minutes to the bus stop, rail trail and Mohonk Preserve, this is that rare weekend escape that offers in town convenience and access to all amenities, yet still gives you an immersive feel of being in and surrounded by nature. A haven for any outdoor enthusiast. You can walk to the Parish in a couple minutes and have sunset cocktails on their outdoor deck or visit any number of local shops along Water Street Market. Accessing the new River to Ridge trail into the Preserve is also less than a minute away. Everything is walkable so no car, no problem here. But with a two car garage you have room for cars, bikes and more. Inside the home you'll be impressed by the thoughtful planning and attention to detail that went into the construction. While this is a technical 2 bedroom home, it does have a very large office room with a closet that makes it a fully functioning 3 bedroom 3 full bath home. Currently split into two equally impressive, large primary suites each with spacious knockout magazine-worthy ensuite bathrooms, nearly 20' ceilings, and private balconies. We're talking bedrooms with their own living rooms that can function as self contained mini apartments. The design allows for interconnectivity of these rooms if desired. You have the best of both worlds with plenty of space to congregate yet still useful private more intimate places providing separation when desired. One of the two suites could easily be carved into two rooms creating a workable 4 bedroom plan if desired. Some of the finer finishes include 3 spa like bathrooms each with German thermocouple rain showers, thermostatic controls, oversized dark metallic tile, floating console sinks, silent exhaust fans, and Duravit toilets. The kitchen comes equipped with modern maple cabinetry, soapstone counters and black stainless appliances. The open concept living/dining area offers a top of the line high efficiency fireplace/wood stove and accordian sliding door wall that opens up to the deck bringing the outside in. Every room oriented to the wooded tree top canopies in back. Hue outdoor lighting, pet/child safe fencing, and the 8 person hot tub make entertaining easy and fun. The home is fully equipped and ready for all smart home related products with integrated surround sound, security, HVAC climate control, lighting, door bells, hot tub, and more. Garage offers another large space ideal for Peloton workouts, private zoom room, or other creative studio/workshop space. Additional features include extensive window coverings throughout, oversized heavy duty custom white oak front door, rainwater and composting collection, high efficiency washer/dryer, Kohler medicine cabinets, lots of closet and other storage spaces, Vermont modern lighting fixtures, Grohe bathroom finishes, nest & kumo thermostats, top of the line Veissman high efficiency boiler, Unifi security systems and wireless Internet, and full solar system that can help produce more energy than the home consumes. A perfect blend of urban and country upstate living all in one, new, high tech package. Low maintenance, no fuss landscaping makes it easy to enjoy without the hassle of upkeep. From pollinator meadow to magnolias and other wild flowers, it all works well with the zen like feel of the home and property. Make this your upstate homebase, one that you can come and go as you please, one that virtually runs itself, and one that can actually pay for itself and then some. Ideal for anyone wanting upstate living without the sacrifice of convenience, walkability and immediate, direct access to all local amenities. A special and rare offering even the most discerning of buyers will appreciate.
