Home Details for 430 Buck Road

Set on coveted Buck Road in Marbletown, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, beauty, and convenience on nearly 29 acres across two contiguous parcels. It's easy to see why this stretch of road is so admired--peaceful and scenic, yet just minutes from the heart of Stone Ridge. Beyond a long, wooded drive, the trees open to reveal a property that has taken shape over more than two decades of careful tending and investment. Mature gardens, specimen plantings, seasonal views across the water, open lawn, and surrounding woodlands create a setting that feels remarkably private while remaining accessible. The additional acreage extends well beyond the immediate homesite, creating a natural buffer and a sense of space that is increasingly difficult to find. Designed by architect Frank Wellington Dunn and built in 2000 by George and Rick Sifre of Seakill Custom Home Builders with a substantial addition in 2005, the home spans more than 3,200 square feet with 3 generous bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a layout that lives comfortably for a variety of lifestyles and needs. Two primary suites, including one on the main floor, provide flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, and the ability to comfortably grow with the home over time. Occupying a private wing of the house, the main-floor suite features direct patio access, a steam shower, cast-iron soaking tub, bay window, and a custom Murphy bed. At the heart of the home large windows frame views of the picturesque landscape and draw natural light into warm, inviting spaces. The ample living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Above the garage, a generous light-filled flex space offers exceptional versatility as a home office, media room, gym, studio, family room, or potential future bedroom suite. A plumbing chase is already in place, creating additional possibilities for future expansion, subject to appropriate approvals. Outside, every element of the property has been considered. Bluestone patios, stone walls, a covered porch, mature landscaping, and beautifully maintained grounds create a series of outdoor spaces designed for gathering, entertaining, and tranquil enjoyment of the setting. The heated 20' x 44' gunite pool is complemented by a beautifully crafted pool house built by master carpenter Mark Brown, featuring a copper roof, live-edge walnut countertop, electricity, and French doors that open onto an expansive bluestone pool terrace. A separate studio building outfitted with electricity and a striking copper roof offers additional space that could be utilized for creative pursuits, garden storage, or a peaceful place to think. The oversized two-car garage, full unfinished basement with high ceilings and poured concrete floor, whole-house generator, central vacuum, zoned central air, and extensive storage provide the practical infrastructure that supports everyday living without compromising the property's sense of escape. Built to last and cared for with intention, the property reflects more than twenty years of thoughtful ownership. House, gardens, and outbuildings have evolved together over time, creating a setting that feels both established and quietly magical. Beyond the homesite, the Kripplebush Creek gently meanders through the land. Together, the two parcels offer nearly 29 acres to explore, enjoy, and steward, providing a level of privacy and connection to the land that is rarely available this close to the center of Stone Ridge. The property is ideally positioned to enjoy all that upstate living has to offer. Farmstands, restaurants, galleries, and everyday conveniences are close at hand. Beloved destinations like Inness, Westwind Orchard, and Mohonk Preserve are all within easy reach. Less than 100 miles from NYC and only a short drive to Kingston, New Paltz, and Woodstock, it's a setting defined by its natural beauty, rural character, and remarkable convenience.
