New York, Ulster County, Woodstock, USA

Cooper Lake Road has always held a particular magic. Winding through a landscape of mature trees and quiet country homes, it provides glimpses of one of the Hudson Valley's most beautiful reservoirs, where clear water and surrounding woodland create a distinctive sense of place. Set at the end of a quiet dead-end road, just 5 minutes from Woodstock's town center, this thoughtfully transformed four-bedroom, three-bathroom home sits on 6.65 acres, with a private wooded backdrop and a strong connection to the natural landscape.
The current owner has maximized the home's sunny position with an extensive renovation that brings warmth and spaciousness to every level. Generous new windows, skylights, and an Italian plaster fireplace-centered living space draw the outdoors in, while custom oak beams add architectural character overhead. At the heart of the home, the kitchen pairs handcrafted maple cabinetry with distinctive Virginia Churchill Santa Rita soapstone countertops, forming a space that is as beautiful as it is functional. Open to the main living area, it works as well for everyday cooking as for gathering with friends. From here, doors lead to a newly constructed screened porch and sunny rear deck overlooking the inviting pool and private woodland beyond.
The main level is designed for comfortable, easy living. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed en-suite bath with views of the woods, a generous soaking tub, separate shower, and radiant-heated floors. An additional bedroom and full bath with radiant heat are also on the main level; this bedroom currently serves as a dedicated home office.
A stunning interplay of rich cherry and oak defines the home's dramatic staircase, where fine craftsmanship meets contemporary design. Sleek glass panels add lightness and openness while preserving uninterrupted views of the living spaces below.
Upstairs, two additional bedrooms offer distinct perspectives on the setting. One overlooks the pool and the gentle slope of the Cooper Hollow hillside, while the other provides a comfortable, tucked-away retreat.
The extensive renovation also includes a newly constructed oversized garage with extra-tall doors and direct entry into the home. Plumbing has been installed, offering added flexibility for future use. Above the garage, a finished additional living space offers an appealing opportunity for a private studio, writing room, yoga space, or creative retreat, separate from the main living areas yet conveniently close.
Outside, the 6.65-acre property offers a wonderful balance of open grounds and mature woodland. The pool, screened porch, and rear deck extend the living space outdoors, providing inviting places to swim, entertain, enjoy a quiet morning, or settle in at the end of the day as the surrounding landscape changes with the seasons. With room to explore and a sense of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find, the setting feels like a true country retreat.
With extensive improvements, thoughtful architectural details, and versatile living spaces, this home feels polished yet deeply connected to its setting. On one of the area's most distinctive country roads, Light, Water & Woods offers a quieter way of living, where the landscape becomes part of the everyday experience.
