1624 High Falls Road

Description

Down one of the Hudson Valley's most picturesque winding roads, an awe-inspiring Hudson Valley paradise that has been hidden away for the past 30 years finally comes to the market. The deep love and meticulous care of the previous steward of this property is most tangibly felt throughout its expansive grounds. Once home to Camp Rip Van Winkle, then 25 acres of manicured gardens, timeless stone walls, and a network of spring-fed interconnected ponds, the estate transports you to another time and place. Very few properties can rival the sheer spectacular nature of this land; the atmosphere is defined by the soothing sound of Kaaterskill Creek's rushing water, which surrounds you the moment you step out the door or crack a window in your bedroom. This sanctuary offers a rare blend of historical preservation and natural beauty, providing an unparalleled retreat in the heart of the valley. Spanning more than 3,000 square feet, the residence is filled with natural light and possesses a profound, inherent beauty. The home's oversized rooms offer a wealth of possibilities to reimagine the floor plan, whether by adding ensuite bathrooms or creating additional bedrooms. With existing kitchen setups on both the ground floor and in the walk-out basement, the layout is exceptionally versatile. Every window provides a scenic backdrop, from the rushing waters of Kaaterskill Creek in the front to the sprawling grounds in the rear. Having served as a cherished setting for family and friends for three decades, the estate is now ready for a restoration that will return it to its peak. While the property is being offered in as-is condition, it presents a rewarding opportunity for a new steward to bring their creative vision to life. This unique sanctuary is simply waiting for its next owner to begin a new chapter within its walls.
