Welcome to the High Falls Hideout—a meticulously renovated and turnkey 4BD/4BA tucked away on a pristine 24 acre sanctuary directly adjacent to the Mohonk Preserve. This rare upstate gem offers the perfect fusion of nature and privacy, ideal for those seeking an effortless escape immersed in the beauty of the Catskills. Perched at the end of a quiet, private road and elevated above a stunning stream-fed pond, the home is nestled in a lush landscape of forest and dramatic topography. A cascading stream—originating in the Preserve—runs the length of the property, carving out a peaceful natural corridor, perfect for a long stroll. With approximately 150 feet of elevation gain at the rear of the property, challenging hiking awaits on your own property or enjoy private access to miles of hiking trails in the expansive Mohonk trail network. Thoughtfully designed with both relaxation and entertaining in mind, the residence boasts a spacious open floor plan. The newly installed back deck flows effortlessly from the main living area, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor experience perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet moments of solitude. The living space is anchored by a charming wood stove, offering both ambiance and warmth. The brand-new chef's kitchen is equipped with a large quartz island ideal for casual dining and conversation, and features all-new appliances, solid wood cabinetry, and generous counter space. Four spacious bedrooms, along with a fully finished lower level complete with a second kitchenette and additional full bath, provide ample accommodation for extended family or weekend guests. A comprehensive list of renovations and upgrades is available upon request. Highlights include a new roof, new HVAC systems (ductless and electric baseboard), new red oak wood floors, new solid wood interior doors, a new kitchen and bathrooms, updated plumbing and electrical and a newly finished basement, adding 1,000+ sq ft of versatile living space. Step outside to discover plentiful opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Glass sliders lead to an expansive elevated deck—sun-drenched in the morning and early afternoon—ideal for al fresco dining, yoga, or lounging with a view. A wood-chip path winds its way from the deck down to a clearing by the pond—an inviting space for reflection, connection, or simply taking in the symphony of birdsong and rustling leaves. For those looking to expand or invest, the property offers subdivision potential (with town approval), though it's equally well-suited to remain a future family compound. Proposed subdivision plans are available upon request. Conveniently located just minutes from the charming hamlets of High Falls and New Paltz, you'll enjoy easy access to a vibrant mix of shops, restaurants, and farm stands. Endless outdoor adventures await in Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve, from rock climbing and mountain biking to serene hikes with breathtaking views. Whether you're searching for a weekend retreat, a full-time residence, or a multigenerational haven, High Falls Hideout offers an extraordinary opportunity to live in harmony with nature—without sacrificing a moment of comfort or convenience.
