Welcome to Hawksview, an incredibly charming privately situated homestead set behind a winding driveway ending with a main residence crafted from an antique barn disassembled in Pennsylvania, relocated and thoughtfully transformed into a home amid over 20 acres of rolling meadows and wooded forest. Following the guidance of permaculture building and landscaping, the owners created everything at Hawksview from scratch to make their beloved and bespoke home. The home- sided with natural stone and wood -is tucked into a notch in the acreage for wind protection with large south facing windows for solar gain looking out over meadows laden with Queens Anne’s Lace. A large front porch entrance is on the north side for escaping the summer heat and looks out over spectacularly landscaped gardens and just beyond: a deep swimming pond backed by thick forest. There is also a small greenhouse next to a very extensive fenced- in vegetable garden. One can often see hawks perched on its fence posts scanning the meadows for their next meal. A very charming monitor barn is across the home entrance creating a courtyard to be used as a garage or use for livestock... or both with additional storage in the loft. An owned- solar array and geothermal heating system cut down on utility bills significantly. Upon entering, one notices the warmth of wood throughout the entire home w/ the barn beams and wood siding. All of the doors are crafted from antique barn wood, as well as the kitchen cabinetry, and the kitchen island; also built of barn beams w/ cast terrazzo countertops. The hero of the home is the impressive double-sided custom- crafted fireplace designed and built by the owners using local conglomerate from our local Shawangunk Ridge. Sun-drenched kitchen /dining/sitting area on one side... more private living room on the other side. A small away room and powder room off the private living room and a door to the lower partially finished basement. A mud room near the front entrance is spacious for plenty of 4 season gear. Stairs lead to a spacious ensuite primary with a tree-top view. At the other end of the open plan hallway, looking down on the entrance, is two bedrooms with a bath and a generous a laundry room in between. The wood-clad beamed ceilings in all upstairs rooms creates supreme coziness. There is a kitchen off of the side patio for early morning coffee and a larger patio spanning the southern side for larger outdoor gatherings, as well as a hot tub perfect for evening star-gazing. A walk out basement is at one end on the pond side of the home whereas 2/3’s of it is finished with a home-gym as well as room for extra guests, rec room or home theatre. The other 1/3 of the basement houses the utilities w/ ample storage. The location of Hawksview is very convenient. A short jaunt to both Gardiner as well as New Paltz amenities as well as local orchards and green grocers. The elegant hospitality/fine dining destination, Wildflower Farms, is around the corner as well as locally popular Stone Wave Yoga Studio. Minnewaska State Park is minutes away, as is Mohonk Preserve which offers endless hiking, biking, cross-country skiing carriage trails, as well boasting the best rock-climbing in the northeast.
