Starlight Mountain Views & Sounds of Serenity in Red Kill Valley
3-4Bdrm, 2.5 BA Log Home w/Pond on 10 acres

The View
This exquisite property offers a rare phenomena of nature's beauty -- Night time Mountain Views! It's truly a magical experience. Because of where the

sun sets, the mountain views stay backlit against an expansive starlit sky throughout the entire night! Also, day & night, the view is an unspoiled

"Last of the Mohegan" type of view. Gaze out across 6 layers of virgin mountain ranges w/o a single house or road in sight. Enjoy roasting

marshmallows in the backyard stone firepit, while taking in the awe-inspiring starlight mountain views.

The Location
The property (just 2 hrs. from NYC) is conveniently located 10 min. from Belleayre Ski Resort and 15 min. from Plattekill Ski & Tubing Resort. It's

also a 10 min. drive to shopping, several golf courses and fabulous restaurants. Located just a few miles off Route 28, but the quiet & tranquility

feels like a million miles away.

Red Kill Mntn. Road is a private road shared by 8 up-scale homes. There is a nominal for road maintenance which gets done in the fall. (approx. $300).

In the winter, a local farmer plows the snow from both the road & the driveways (approx. $350/yr.), ensuring the cabin is always accessible. 4 of the

8 neighbors have now transplanted into full-timers. (We all keep a helpful eye out for each other... I once got a call from a neighbor driving by who

noticed the master bedroom balcony door was left open. Fortunately, we were an hour away, turned around and corrected it.)

The Pond
The 1/3+ ac. Spring-fed Pond was designed & engineered by LaFever Pond Specialists. 200 ft. of underground piping captures several springs across the

mountain, bringing cool, clean water to 2 points in the pond - one from a 5ft. high rock wall at front of pond, and the second pipe under a huge

triangle diving rock along side of pond. The 5 ft. high rock wall lining the front of pond is a perfect jumping off point, where the depth was

extended to 12+ feet deep. The triangle diving rock is easier for young children to jump from. (we call it a diving rock, but you should never dive

into any pond) Spend the afternoon lounging on a float, while enjoying the vast mountain views. There is a small pier with a ladder making it easy to

enter & exit the pond. Stocked with hatchery-bred largemouth bass, the pond is a fisherman's dream. It's also fun to hand-feed the fish with fish

pellets. In the winter, the pond becomes a perfect private ice skating rink. (please supervise children at all times around pond)

The House
3-4 bdrms, 2.5 ba. with stunning red oak floors thru-out. The house is an Alta Log Home with a large addition and wrap around decks added 3 yrs. ago.

The first floor offers a large, bright eat-in kitchen/great room with vaulted ceilings with electric skylights w/rain sensors. The kitchen includes

new stainless appliances and stone countertops. A vermont casting wood stove is set against a river-rock wall. The first floor also includes is a

large living room with another rock-walled wood stove, 2 bedrooms, full and half baths, a tool room and a laundry room.

The second floor has a huge open bonus room suitable for additional bedroom, TV/Game Room or Home Office. The huge Master bedroom suite has a large

walk-in closet, full bath, and amazing views from a Honeymoon Balcony, where you can start your day off right, sipping your morning coffee, enjoying

the mntn. views.

The expansive master bedroom also includes an over-sized "Cowboy" Copper & Nickel-plated Soaking Tub. There is also a unique "Tree of Life" Gas Stove.

Trimmed with glass on 3 sides and wrought iron leaf patterns which create dancing shadows on the ceiling at night. The stove is set against river-rock

wall and trapezoid windows looking out at forest ferns. There are also a few hidden doors built into the upstairs addition; a storage room door across

from the walk-in closet, and a ski equip. closet located at top of landing.

There is a full basement under the new addition. It's the perfect place for playing pool table/ping pong/air hockey without invading the quietness of

the rest of the home. (the combo game table is also for sale)
