Description

Welcome to your own slice of paradise! This sensational 4-BR/3bath home (updated in 2014) sits on 25 acres with a massive horse barn (upstairs find an 800 sf heated area for a gym or studio). As you enter the grounds, you'll find complete privacy behind the electric gates. Inside the residence, you'll be wowed by the massive great room which opens to the newly-stained deck. Continue to the chef's kitchen with granite counters, cherry cabinets, copper sinks, and a 2-level, 10-foot long island/breakfast bar. Eat here or in the nicely-appointed dining room, which contains a pantry w/pullouts. There is a bedroom on the main level, currently used as a home office. A full bath on main contains the laundry. There's also a side entrance to the home containing a bonus room. An open staircase takes you to the second level of the home, into the library, which branches off to the primary suite. The bedroom is huge: 23x15 and so is the bath at 12x8 with a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, double sinks and Carrera marble counters, flooded with light. Two good-sized closets complete the suite--both 7x7. There are 2 more bedrooms on this level, and another full bath, plus access to the storage attics. The basement is clean and ready to be finished off to your taste, containing a pellet stove. The home stays even cozier with blown-in insulation. When you finally break away from the gorgeousness of the residence, you'll see several other outbuildings with a multitude of uses like a mancave/she-shed; chicken coop, pigeon coop, and run-in sheds. The cheery red 2-story barn is huge: 80x45. With 12 stalls, it's perfect for horse lovers! Upstairs is the 800 sf heated area which contained a gym, but use it as you'd like! Perfect for hobby farmers, gardeners, or anyone seeking space to breathe and grow. Make sure to discover the hidden garden on the grounds! A seating area overlooks the neighboring pond, where you'll see all kinds of bird life including eagles. Take a stroll past the buildings-- most of the property is fenced for animals, gardening or privacy. Don't miss how the land opens wide in the back-- you get full sun most of the day-- great for gardens or grazing. NO HOA FEES!! Located centrally in Bethel, NY, you're just minutes away from Bethel Woods Center for concerts, festivals and cool events. Close to 17B for easy access to the highway. Nearby is Lake Superior, a State Park within cycling distance with a beach, volleyball courts and picnic facilities. Should you choose not to fix a meal in the gorgeous kitchen, all kinds of eateries are within a few minutes' drive. Zoned residential, agricultural and commercial, it's a rare blend of comfort, utility and natural beauty. This property is truly a wonder, offered at a price that would cost more than double to re-create.
