337 Route 32 S

Every so often a property comes on the market that offers the potential for a self-sufficient lifestyle. Welcome to The Homestead at 337 Route 32 S in New Paltz, a quintessentially Hudson Valley farmhouse that offers the opportunity to live a unique lifestyle that combines self-sufficiency with recreation. This historic 1,584 Sq Ft eyebrow colonial was built in 1800 and is situated on the 2.4 pretty acres where you'll find your homestead in-progress. There are fenced garden beds and natural trails in place. There's a detached, oversized, one-car garage and a fenced courtyard with a strikingly beautiful catalpa tree at its center. There's a cedar barrel sauna, fire pit, and chicken coop. The front of the house is surrounded by mature trees and wildflowers and has a natural pond that awaits ducks or geese. There's also an in-ground pool with a gorgeous stone patio surround and an outdoor shower (perfect for post-pool or post-planting showers). The house is a charming time capsule that's been updated with modern systems (including a new mini-split heating/cooling system) for modern comfort. Original details abound: wide-plank floors, charming built-ins, a deep clawfoot tub, and 4 fireplaces. The entry level features a large country kitchen with a wood-burning fireplace and a pizza oven, a formal dining room, a living room and a powder room. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, including a primary suite with a half bath and an additional guest bath. The lower level features the most charming office/studio space. But the piece de resistance is the nearly new, 768 Sq Ft, solar-powered guest house. Added by the current owner to accommodate a music recording business, the versatility of the space is staggering. It might be used as an ancillary dwelling, guest house, artist studio, recording studio, or pool house. The property is just a few miles from the Village of New Paltz where you'll find dining, arts, shopping, and historic Huguenot St, and close to many of the beloved orchards in the area including Dressel Farms and Minard as well as Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve. This is also a convenient commuter location; if you won't be spending all day at the homestead, you'll be minutes from I-87 and just about 1.5 hours from NYC. Call to schedule your tour today!
