176 hutchin hill

EXCEPTIONAL! Stunning Contemporary Retreat! All drenched in clear magical sunlight. This exquisite estate property is nestled off one of Woodstock's very private dead-end country roads. The two homes or, home & amazing studio residence on this 26+ acre property are tucked into the landscape and accessed from a gracefully meandering drive through an area of pastoral orchard & meadow land. The far side of the acreage is bordered at the rear by a long pristine stream flowing from the multi thousands of Catskill Preserve state protected lands at the end of Hutchin Hill. This truly is premium Woodstock country acreage with privacy & tranquility assured. The two residences offer dramatic high ceilings & windows with views of the gardens and also provide intimate Shady mountain ridge views. Unseen important home attributes for the sophisticated & health conscious individual include heat recovery ventilation which constantly exhausts the house & brings in abundant fresh filtered air. An eye toward use of healthy building materials was of primary importance to this owner during construction. One unique "jewel" is an amazing glazed glass fronted fireplace that radiates with a deep gemlike glow even when not ablaze. The 2500 sq ft two story guest house (w/garage) was built for the creation of music as well as entertaining. The great studio room is, for many who walk into it, a fabulous living room with deck overlooking forest to stream.. A full kitchen and living area with cozy fireplace complete this building which also has its own recording studio control room. Being on this property it is easy to simply enjoy peace & the sounds of nature including a bubbling stream rising form the valley floor. An additional bonus space is a vaulted 440 sq ft artist painting studio above the garage of the main house. The lifestyle options offered by this property are seemingly endless! All this is minutes from state lands and hiking trails that extend to Hunter and beyond or, in the other direction, Woodstock galleries, restaurants, yoga & shops. The town has been experiencing a new infusion of high quality lifestyle all of which is integrated seamlessly into the historic artists colony born with a dedicated vision over 100 years ago... 'Tis said, there are more artists per square mile in the greater Woodstock/Hudson Valley area than anywhere else in the country adding cultural variety & stimulation and economic value.
