Down a long level driveway in beautiful Mount Tremper, you'll discover this extraordinary contemporary home, masterfully crafted from shipping containers. From the outside, it exudes the charm of a traditional house, but step inside and you'll discover a fascinating blend of industrial history and modern eclectic design. The main level is a vast open-concept space, thoughtfully divided into inviting areas perfect for relaxation and entertainment. A cozy den is set up for TV watching, while a sitting area by the woodstove invites you to unwind with a good book. The main living area is a highlight, framed by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that capture breathtaking mountain views and open onto a spacious deck overlooking the woods and those stunning mountains. On the opposite side of the house by the large kitchen island, another set of sliding glass doors leads to a serene patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. Ascending the hand-forged steel staircase, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings that enhance their airy feel. The two large bathrooms on this level offer luxurious amenities, with one featuring a deep soaking tub and the other a walk-in shower. Throughout the home, the artistry of one of the homeowners, a skilled woodworker, is evident in the beautiful custom woodwork that adds warmth and character to every room. Set on over 8 acres, this property is a private sanctuary surrounded by lush greenery and woodlands. The land feels like a magical realm straight out of a Tolkien novel with its towering trees, ferns, rock outcroppings, and wildflowers. The property backs up to 140 acres of forever wild state land, offering nothing but the sound of chirping birds and the leaves rustling in the wind. Additionally, there is an approved area on the property for a septic system for a guest house, offering room for expansion. The property is located less than 15 minutes from both Phoenicia and Woodstock. Provisions and a variety of dining options can be found in under 10 minutes.
