Reimagined from an original 1775 barn on Cooper Lake Road in Woodstock, this home is set back from the road and sited on 44.3 pristine acres with trails leading to 800+ ft of Cooper Lake frontage. Legal access to the water's edge provides picnicking, camping and stargazing opportunities overlooking the water and mountain views beyond. The house with its distinctive and rustic rough cut wood sided exterior is juxtaposed with sleek modern lines once inside. A bright and airy living room overlooks the pool to one side and the glorious greenery of the trees with a seasonal mountain view on the other through large picture windows that bathe the room in natural light. The well equipped kitchen is fit for entertaining for one or one hundred with an island and plenty of prep space and storage. It opens up to an inviting dining area with lots of windows for sunny morning coffee and a propane fireplace for cozy intimate dinners by the fire. A primary suite is tucked off to one side and shares the same view as the living room. Sliding glass doors lead to a generously sized deck, a great spot from which to read a book or watch the fireflies. From the living room toward the rear yard there is a flex room which could be used for a number of purposes - extra guest room, office, TV room, yoga or meditation room. Upstairs are two large bedrooms, one of which enjoys year round mountain views and a shared bath. The in-ground heated pool is saline with an outdoor kitchen area. Large enough for pool parties, private enough for skinny dipping. The land slopes up behind the house and there is a level area that had previously been prepped for a tennis court if one wishes, and above that are solar panels which cover half or more of the electric needs for the property. Last February's electric bill which included heat, hot water and lights was only 226.00. Newer mini splits are the primary source for heat and cooling. There is a partial basement offering plenty of easily accessible dry storage. The seller acquired an additional 40+ acres adjoining their original parcel over the years to ensure that the character of the area would be preserved and protected from overdevelopment. This rare large parcel provides undisturbed and pristine woodlands for privacy and enjoyment of nature only 5 minutes to town. Cooper Lake Road is one of the most beautiful spots in Ulster County and a coveted address in Woodstock. Only minutes from the Bearsville complex with music, food, drinks and theatre events, and Cub Market around the corner. Woodstock and the surrounding communities are home to a wonderful eclectic mix of shops, galleries, restaurants, theatre, flea markets , farm stands and weekly farmers' markets.
