7 Clovewood Road High Falls, NY 12440

Be eye-to-eye with the treetops and enjoy the dance of light in this exquisite, architect-designed contemporary in Alligerville. It is privately sited on a quiet and desirable country road close to the hamlets of High Falls, Stone Ridge and Accord. While nature's beauty is in your back yard on this 8.5-acre parcel, you also enjoy proximity to the Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park and countless Hudson/Rondout Valley attractions.

Creative design of light-drenched living spaces on three levels featuring inviting openness and offering places for a private retreat and reflection. The top-level great room with tall cathedral ceilings and wraparound Pella windows that invite the visual charm of the serene surroundings regardless of the time of day or year. Refinished maple flooring is accentuated by polished slate tiles, and a wood-burning stove that is the warm heart of this room. Entertaining is a breeze in the open kitchen with an island/breakfast bar, beautiful maple wood cabinetry and natural stone and steel counters. The dining room flows seamlessly into the living area, extended by a South-facing covered teak deck. Up a ladder is a cozy loft with two windows, the perfect place for a good read. A powder room and good storage complete the picture on this floor.

A flight of stairs down, via the entrance foyer by the large front porch, you will find the primary suite with a dedicated morning brew porch and a spa-like bathroom with a large soaking tub. A second bedroom and a family room with an additional full bath with a walk-in shower.

The walk-out lower level features about 500 sq ft of flex space with an efficiency ''kitchen'' including a sink, bar fridge, granite counters and custom built-ins; suitable as private guest quarters, studio, or office. With radiant floors and another stylish full bath with a polished slate walk-in shower. There is a large Trex deck off this space, and a separate entrance. Also on this level, a hidden wine cellar and a walk-out workshop, storage, and laundry room.

Gorgeous bluestone walls and walkways, open lawns, mature woods and the meandering stream make the acreage diverse and so appealing. There is a fantastic opportunity to tie in the lightly wooded forest and make it your very own park-like sanctuary with stream-side trails and more places to sit and ponder!
