172 Stone Dock Road

When imagining the perfect upstate retreat, what comes to mind for you? Are you thinking of a riverfront property that allows you to take mere steps to put in your kayak, canoe or fishing boat? Would you like to border a challenging 9 hole Golf Course? (Literally on the 7th green!) Or maybe living at the end of a dead end road, no traffic? How about being 5 minutes from Spring Farm (Mohonk Preserve) Trailhead, and 15 minutes from Minnewaska State Park!!! At a compact yet efficient 1012 square feet, this low maintenance chalet style home has a beautiful stone fronted gas fireplace to enjoy with the flick of a switch. The primary bedroom is on the first floor, with a full bath and a living room/dining room combination. The kitchen has been well planned, sufficient cabinets and even a pantry. Upstairs is a roomy loft, used as a bedroom currently. It could easily be an office or studio space. Privacy is essential for a true retreat...and this home delivers. Perched on the banks of the Rondout Creek, picture the river as a U, with the house sitting at the bottom of the U, the river flowing towards you and then away from you. Across the river behind a large stand of trees is farmland, part of the generational Feather Farm. The large deck sits just above the river, where you can enjoy sunsets and barbecues with no other homes in view, and watch the deer emerge from the woods at dusk for a cool drink. Easy access to Stone Ridge, Rosendale and New Paltz, and only 15 minutes to the uptown Kingston Stockade District. Owner is related to Listing Agent.
