Ashokan Acres

Title - NEW: Secluded Riverfront Estate w/ Hot Tub, Sauna & Swimming Pond

Highlights: Gorgeous multi-building compound residence with hot tub, sauna, private trails, river frontage on the Esopus, two waterfalls, chefs kitchen, and multiple living rooms all with fireplaces. Very private, yet minutes to Kingston.

Surrounded by dense woods on the upper run of the Esopus Creek, Ashokan Acres is the perfect place to rest, recharge, and rejuvenate. Amenities galore provide onsite recreational opportunities rarely found in one spot - fishing, hiking, swimming, reading nooks, the full spa experience, movie room, and plenty of space to have a quiet moment, even with a large group.

The historic stone main house is a wonderful blend of two worlds. Built upon a residence created in 1703, a recent addition, with soaring ceilings and cleverly hidden technology, is gently grafted onto the older, heritage wing. This combination creates beautiful moments - 3 living rooms all with fireplaces, thick stone walls, a contemporary kitchen and dining room, and a wall of glass giving far reaching views of the property and nearby mountain ranges. Access to a dining deck, terraces, four good sized bedrooms, and a game and media room give anyone staying the full experience of estate living. For dinner, 15 minutes in either direction will put you in a great restaurant in either Kingston, Stone Ridge, or Woodstock. Or take advantage of the homes’ spacious and well stocked kitchen, where the professional grade appliances, pantry, and island seating will no doubt contribute to the makings of a great meal.

For those that are traveling in a larger group, the nearby guest house provides further sleeping quarters for 6 with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a full kitchen. The cottage also houses the gym /exercise room, a mezzanine office area and has its own laundry. With a main level bedroom and bathroom, this second house could prove an easy stay for guests who don’t wish to use stairs..

Outside, spread among the 120 acres are multiple private hiking trails and terraced seating areas. The front south facing stone patio overlooks a lawn area and forest, the historic screened barn, and the swimming pond. The grounds are magical, with gorgeous plantings, fairy lights, total privacy, and over a mile of Esopus river frontage with excellent trout fishing. Up on a massive rock ledge formation sits the hot tub and sauna, the perfect spot for star gazing while you soak.

Like all Upstate Place properties, this home has a pack n’ play, highchair, baby bath etc. available to make even the smallest guest’s stay welcoming and easy.

Ashokan Acres would ideally suit a multi generational family or groups of friends vacationing together.

PLEASE NOTE

The main house has 3 levels and a step up to the entrance, it may not be suitable for those who have difficulty with steps / stairs.

This house is in a rural environment and surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. While it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants, bees and ticks. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in its appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong.

We look forward to welcoming you to Ashokan Acres!
