Perfectly located within minutes of the Village of New Paltz, NYS Thruway and the enchanting Hamlet of Gardiner, this distinguished circa 1745 French Huguenot Stone home was owned for almost 200 years by one of the 12 original French Huguenot families to settle in this area. Blending the best of both worlds, the homestead was painstakingly and lovingly reconstructed from the ground up retaining the charm of yesteryear with modern living. Three large stone fireplaces grace the living area, kitchen and den. Exposed hewn beams, gleaming wide plank pine flooring along with period deep-seated windows, intricate millwork and custom built-in cabinetry throughout. Snuggle up with your best read in the 14x11' screened porch with direct access to the beautiful bluestone patio and fenced yard perfect for pets. Travel the underground 17' stone and brick tunnel connecting to the family room/Laundry and two car garage. The 11' diameter cider house with electric overlooks the private, mini-waterfall fed pond with the majestic Shawangunk Mountains presiding over this idyllic scene. Looking for the perfect artisan studio or woodworking shop? This homestead also offers 2 Amish built, timber peg barns. The first measures 24x20' w/electric, sheetrock and flooring plus another Amish 18x12' two and half story barn w/electric, concrete and wide board flooring plus loft space. The zoning is Hamlet Commercial which offers many potential options. Check out the Gardiner Zoning Regulations for permitted uses.
