New York, High Falls, USA

Set on a peaceful two-acre parcel spanning both sides of a quiet country road, this newly completed home offers a thoughtful balance of modern design and natural surroundings. A gentle creek runs through the property, creating a calm, immersive setting that defines the home's experience.
The main residence offers 2,040 square feet of living space with two bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath. A double-height living area is anchored by a Stuv wood-burning stove, bringing warmth and architectural presence to the space. Finishes throughout are restrained and carefully considered, including Belgian bluestone and wide plank Mirage oak flooring, custom white oak cabinetry, integrated Miele appliances, and Ceppo Di Gre stone countertops.
Built with a focus on quality and performance, the home features cedar siding and a stucco rain screen over Zip System sheathing, a standing-seam metal roof, and a high-performance envelope with R-35.5 walls and an R-60 roof, ensuring comfort throughout the seasons. A quiet ground-source heat pump system from Dandelion Energy provides efficient heating and cooling.
A separate 1956 Montgomery Ward structure has been thoughtfully reimagined as a finished studio building, offering approximately 420 square feet with a half bath, ideal for a studio, guest accommodations, or a dedicated work-from-home space.
The lower level extends the home's architectural language in a more raw, material expression, with exposed concrete walls, a polished slab floor, and direct access to the landscape through glass doors that open onto the creek. With generous ceiling height and natural light, the space is well-suited for a studio, gym, or additional living area, offering a quiet, grounded connection to the surrounding environment.
Outdoor living is equally considered. A screened-in cedar patio overlooks the creek, offering a quiet place to relax and take in the natural surroundings. An oversized one-car garage adds convenience, while quality fixtures and appliances throughout the home include Kohler plumbing, Toto toilets, and a Zephyr hood.
Despite its sense of privacy, the location is highly convenient. Just minutes from High Falls and within easy reach of Stone Ridge, Rosendale, New Paltz, Kingston, and Minnewaska State Park Preserve, the property offers an ideal balance of access and escape.
