Bethel Woods近くの小川とハイキングのある森の中のモダンな隠れ家

I was introduced to this area by a friend from college whose family owns nearby, and I fell in love visiting through the 90s. I eventually bought a home built by hand by a friend of that family. I love enjoying the wildlife, stream and woods on the property, and I love being near Skinner's Falls, Narrowsburg and Callicoon. You can enjoy all the peace of nature, and still get a dose of culture and fine dining as needed. There is a thriving foodie/locavore scene including wonderful farmers markets that will inspire you in the kitchen. I never get tired of being here, there is always more to explore.

I love this home because it is modern and lofty, yet cozy and comfortable. I love the wraparound deck with forest views. The home is private in the midst of acres of woods filled with wildlife, and a pretty little stream that is different every day of the year. An old grown-over quarry road crosses the property for easy hikes to the stream, and gives a sense of the area's history. For all this remote privacy, I am still 5-15 minutes away from all of Sullivan County's hot spots including excellent restaurants, farmers markets, antiques and more. The original Woodstock happened just 10 minutes away in Bethel, home of the Bethel Woods Art Centre. The house will inspire you to unplug and enjoy books, make art, make music, cook, read and reflect.
