RARE CREEK ACCESS.  Under the radar in time for the new year, you'll find this sweet contemporary cabin perched in a magical private woodland setting in red hot Kerhonkson with great natural light and an elevated tree house feel.  This is the affordable upstate retreat you've been hunting for!  Located on a well cared for private road, part of a very small exclusive enclave of homes with a shared 17+ acre common forest including a stocked pond and private exclusive access to one of the area's secret swimming holes, "Rocky Bottom". There's nothing like having your own quiet and private swimming hole within walking distance of your home.  In the world we live in today this feature alone makes it all worth it.  At just under 2 acres (feels more like 20) there's room for the hot tub and swimming pool if desired and is the perfect setting for family gatherings, BBQ's, etc. So much to do, see, and explore.  Very private setting and a cinch to maintain.  Owners transformed this space over the years only to move in another direction with their children and careers.  Updates include new bathrooms and kitchen, revamped large screened porch, paint, appliances, and a finished walkout basement suite with full bath and laundry.  If you are wanting to avoid a larger home with high maintenance and taxes consider this affordable and manageable option with all the right features and benefits that will maintain and grow equity for years to come.  There's even potential to add on and expand if desired.  You have the best of both worlds for sure.  Located within striking distance to all the great things to do in Ulster County, you can visit places like Minnewaska State Park, the Shawangunk Valley wine trials and vineyards, Mohonk and Sam's Point Preserves, Litman Park's extensive mountain biking trails, or perhaps a more relaxed visit to Westwind Orchard, Arrowood Farm in nearby Accord.  Nearby hotspots like High Falls, Hurley, Stone Ridge, and Rosendale offer some of the areas best walkable rail trails you can find in the Hudson Valley.  There's no shortage of streams, creeks, and rivers here and with large amounts of state other locally protected lands, the preservation of the area's beauty is quite evident.  Super low taxes! Truly a no brainer in today's market.  A turnkey home for all seasons that is not likely to last long.
