High Point Mountain Rd, Shokan, Home For Sale

Available for the first time in 50-plus years, this iconic Hudson Valley home boasts extraordinary character and charm in the perfect setting -- a secluded 10-acre nook of ponds and woods just minutes from the Ashokan Reservoir. The house, a masterful blend of timeless farmhouse style, craftsmanship and luxury, is the polar opposite of cookie cutter, with classic window awnings, cedar shakes and locally quarried bluestone steps setting the gracious tone from the moment you pull up a long driveway and arrive at the wrap-around front porch. Inside, a cozy paneled keeping room with a pegged beam ceiling opens to a large and sunny living room and gourmet kitchen, bracketed on one side by an authentic working Rumford fireplace, and on the other by a dining room with a double-height wall of French doors and windows leading to a terraced bluestone patio and pool.
