390 Ridge Road, Stuyvesant, NY 12156 (MLS # 156714)

Straight up the Taconic Parkway, just 2.5 hours from Midtown, your driveway is barely noticeable -- but you know what lies beyond - safety, serenity, and seclusion. Unlock the gate, drive through the woods, and prepare to experience a different kind of rush hour - tracking big buck or flushing wild pheasants or raucous turkeys. Better still, just rest and relax on your ultra-private 223+ acre retreat on the hillsides of the Hudson River. Your driveway reveals nothing to the rest of the world about the lovely accommodations that await in the custom-built, true-log home. Outdoor enthusiasts or those just looking for a unique family or group retreat in the Hudson River highlands will find it here.The grounds of the home are well-maintained with landscaping around 2 ponds, and ample parking, plus a 500 square foot double-door equipment barn. Enter the home and take in the cathedral-like lodge with an open living-dining-kitchen space anchored by a massive 25 foot floor-to-ceiling fieldstone wood burning fireplace. True log walls and rich pinewood floors throughout the home add strength and character in every room. The kitchen, where everyone gathers, is open to this lovely space, with a great seating peninsula, ideal for travelers and wilderness voyagers to sit while the feast is prepared. 2 bdrms on main floor, off kitchen w a shared full bath. Upstairs, a master suite w private bdrm ( massive closets ), full ba, and home office loft overlooking fireplace. Full basement nicely finished w bonus room ideal for a pull-out couch / guest room, laundry and work area, + .5 bath. Don (or shed) camo, boots, and parkas while still in the comfort of the lower level. There is ample storage, with drive-out doors! Whole house AC. The property is tax-advantaged with ag AND NYS Section 480-a Forest protections. The main driveway covers more than a mile as it curves through the property. Miles more off-road trails provide further access to the parcels, including the 5 high-mounted blinds. Actively managed farm fields, also within the property boundaries, mean ready-made access is waiting for your next ATV adventure. Close to the historic villages of Stuyvesant (10 mins to the Hudson River Boat Launch), Hudson, Chatham, Kinderhook and Catskill. Hop the Business Class on the Empire Service, and you can be in NYC anytime you like. Or head to Albany, less than 30 minutes north. Retreat can be yours. Enjoy this masterpiece along the hills of the Hudson!
