Welcome to Serenity Stone Hill — a private, park-like sanctuary perched between Woodstock and Kingston, neighboring the majestic Ashokan Reservoir in the heart of the Catskills. This timeless retreat offers an exquisite blend of seclusion, natural beauty, and elevated comfort—all wrapped in a setting that feels worlds away yet remains remarkably accessible.<br />
<br />
Ascend the winding drive, flanked by a vibrant corridor of forsythia, and arrive at a home nestled among mature oaks and framed by intricate, stacked bluestone walls. Hidden garden gates, native plantings, and meandering pathways unfold with an effortless grace, revealing a landscape that has been thoughtfully sculpted to honor its natural surroundings. Here, seasonal views of the Ashokan Reservoir glisten through the trees, offering a rare and coveted glimpse of one of the Hudson Valley's most breathtaking landmarks.<br />
<br />
The grounds evoke the serenity of a private estate—immaculate, yet soulful. Whether sipping morning coffee on the rocking-chair front porch beside the koi pond, gathering by the handsome bluestone fireplace on the expansive back deck, or soaking in the hot tub beneath a star-splashed sky free of light pollution—every corner of this property invites stillness, joy, and connection.<br />
<br />
Step inside to discover a home that lives with both intention and warmth. Vaulted ceilings and reclaimed pine floors set the tone, while floor-to-ceiling windows flood the sunlit living room with panoramic light. The first-floor primary suite offers convenience and comfort, while a cozy upstairs den becomes the perfect nook for games, puzzles, or quiet reading. A full walkout basement adds flexibility, easily transforming into a home gym or studio space. And with a standby generator, you'll enjoy peace of mind, no matter the weather.<br />
<br />
Outside your door, nature lovers will find themselves immersed in a landscape of unspoiled beauty. The property borders protected state land with access to serene hiking and biking trails that wind through the forested terrain. Just across the street, a quiet path leads directly to the edge of the Ashokan Reservoir—an ideal perch for casting a line or simply soaking in the stillness of the water. Come evening, it becomes a front-row seat to some of the most breathtaking sunsets in the Catskills, a daily reminder of nature's grandeur and your rare connection to it.<br />
<br />
Just 10 miles from both Kingston and Woodstock and under 90 minutes from NYC, Serenity Stone Hill is more than a home—it's a rare invitation to live artfully, quietly, and fully immersed in the majesty of the Hudson Valley. |
