On one of the most beautiful roads between Woodstock and the Ashokan Reservoir, perched atop a mountain with epic, far-reaching verdant views, lies the striking Ohayo Mountain House.
Built in the early 1930’s as a peaceful Catskills retreat, this perfectly renovated and light-filled home sits on over eight acres, bordered by incredible wooded landscapes. The new gunite pool, bluestone lounge area, and poolhouse perfectly blend into the surrounding nature, and a long path meanders through a sweeping meadow of wildflowers and young evergreens.
The Home:
The home sits at the end of a long, fern-lined driveway and has a charming silhouette characteristic of regional mountain houses built in the early to mid-1900s. The original stone chimney is visible on the exterior, and an expansive front porch offers some of the most beautiful sunset views on the property.
The interior is abundantly peaceful and thoughtfully envisioned, with walls of original historic windows looking out on lush greenery, light, wide-plank wood floors with delicate graining, wood beams, terracotta-tiled baths, and exquisitely curated fixtures and hardware. The great room has a powerful woodstove, inset into the circa 1930s stone fireplace. There are two bedrooms on the second floor, and two full baths in the house. A large office/utility/family room is on the garden floor, with beautiful interior stonework and its own exit to a covered exterior porch.
The Grounds:
The Ohayo Mountain House’s eight-acre grounds are truly exceptional. The mix of mid-density forest, open meadow, gardens, long stone walls, and walking paths is delightful, and all just minutes away from the village of Woodstock. The large pool and its accompanying poolhouse are tucked into a perfect nook within the landscape. There are multiple places to entertain or enjoy long summer dinners, from the bluestone terrace, to the covered porch, to the breezeway of the pool house.
The Surroundings:
The property is surrounded on three sides by over 5,000 acres of NY State protected land, and is located five minutes from Woodstock, 20 minutes from Kingston, 30 minutes from Rhinebeck, and just over 2 hours from New York City.
There are endless nearby options for dinner, like Silvia’s, Nirvana, or Good Night, plenty of outdoor play from the more rigorous - games at the Woodstock Tennis Club - to the more wild - swimming at the Big Deep - to the completely invigorating - hiking around the Ashokan Reservoir. Incredible produce and groceries are easy to access, whether you are filling a basket with local goodies from the Wednesday farmers market, grabbing the best bagels from Moonrise, or stocking up the pantry at Sunflower Market.
