Set down a long driveway just minutes from the Ashokan Reservoir, this custom-built Cape is surrounded by nearly four acres of mature woodland and gardens. Built with an appreciation for natural materials and traditional craftsmanship, the home features locally sourced heart pine floors, antique chestnut beams, reclaimed tobacco barn oak, and custom-built cabinetry throughout. A detached studio, greenhouse, and established gardens extend the living space outdoors, creating a peaceful retreat just under two hours from New York City.

From the front entry, the home opens into warm, light-filled living spaces where reclaimed wood and handmade details set the tone. Wide-plank floors, exposed chestnut beams, and custom cabinetry appear throughout, while the living room centers around a high-efficiency wood stove framed by a stone surround built from rock gathered on the property. Large windows look out across the surrounding gardens, bringing the landscape into nearly every room.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes custom built-ins, a vented skylight, an attached greenhouse, and a private deck overlooking the gardens. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests, while thoughtful updates—including a whole-house generator, Navien tankless water heater, upgraded insulation, and water filtration system—support year-round living. Beyond the house, a fully insulated 24-by-24-foot studio offers flexible space for creative work, a home office, workshop, or future guest accommodations.

Outside, flowering perennials, native plantings, specimen trees, and fenced pollinator gardens surround the home, creating color throughout the growing season. The property feels remarkably secluded, yet Kingston, Woodstock, Stone Ridge, and the Catskills are all within easy reach, offering access to hiking trails, farmers markets, restaurants, galleries, and some of the Hudson Valley’s most beloved outdoor destinations.

The Neighborhood: In + Around the Ashokan Reservoir

Just two minutes from the Ashokan Reservoir, this location places some of the Hudson Valley’s best outdoor recreation close at hand. Walk or cycle the reservoir promenade, spend the afternoon exploring the Catskills, or head into nearby Woodstock for galleries, live music, and local shops. Kingston‘s Stockade District and Rondout Waterfront are both a short drive away, while Stone Ridge, High Falls, and Olivebridge offer farm stands, cafés, and weekend wandering throughout the season.

Why We Love This House: A Century of Craftsmanship

The best parts of this property aren’t the result of a single renovation, but rather the product of years spent building, planting, and refining. From the reclaimed woodwork, wide-plank floors, and handmade cabinetry inside to the gardens, greenhouse, and detached studio beyond the house, each element reflects the same careful attention.

Together, they create a home that feels deeply rooted in its surroundings. The gardens have had years to mature, the trees have grown in around the house, and every addition feels like a natural extension of what was already there.
