Home Details for 55 Garden House Road

Contemporary Woodland Home with Perennial Gardens and River Frontage Just outside of a quaint hamlet, down winding country roads, a long driveway guides you through an old growth forest. A peaceful and private clearing emerges, and with it this special home that is fully removed from the world beyond. The serene setting encourages a slower rhythm—days spent gathering flowers from the garden, wandering the woods, cooling off in the river, or simply relaxing on the deck listening to the birds. Completed in 2022 and designed with both efficiency and longevity in mind, the home reflects a careful consideration of how a house should live on the land. Energy-efficient systems, central heating and cooling, a standing-seam metal roof, and recently stained exterior siding provide peace of mind, while the home's placement was intentionally chosen to maximize privacy and foster a deep connection to the surrounding nature. Inside, oak floors and expansive picture windows create a warm, light-filled atmosphere. The layout is simple, flexible, and wonderfully livable, offering two spacious bedrooms, a dedicated office or studio, and a beautiful loft well suited for exercise, or a reading/meditation nook. An open kitchen, living, and dining area invites gathering, and the Jøtul wood stove brings warmth and coziness through the colder months. French doors open from the dining area onto a deck embraced by perennial gardens, creating an easy connection between indoors and out. The land itself is every bit as compelling as the home. Spanning more than 46 acres, the property encompasses woods, open lawn, and an impressive stretch of frontage along the Mongaup River. Thoughtful stewardship has created a beautiful flower garden just outside your front door, with colorful blooms throughout the season, and a fenced in garden with raised beds is awaiting your homestead visions. Wander the woods foraging for mushrooms, and hike through your property to access the Hurleyville Rail Trail for a scenic trip into town. This property is conveniently located 5 minutes from the adorable Hamlet of Hurleyville with its lovely Main Street offering a variety of beloved shops like Forage & Gather, Decant Wines, La Salumina and Morgan Outdoors. The Performing Arts Center has wonderful programming for all ages with art/dance classes, performances, movies and more. The rail trail is paved and level, and pickle ball courts can be found right in town! Venture a little farther to nearby towns like Livingston Manor, Mountaindale and Ellenville to enjoy all that this wonderful area has to offer with great dining, amazing shopping and Farmer’s markets, and of course all of the natural beauty to explore.
