Sunrise Sunset is a stunning 17-acre property in Columbia County with unparalleled mountain views. The home is an architect designed and built B & B with a private living space. It still has all the necessary licensure and zoning to operate as a B & B, though the buyer can simply use it as a spacious home just hours from New York City and minutes from all the glories of the Hudson Valley. The three guest rooms, which could be used as family bedrooms, offices, or studios, occupy the second floor of a three-bay garage. Each is private, en suite, with a balcony. The architect ensured utmost privacy between guest balconies by angling the dividers between them. They all command sunset views of the Catskills, and sunrise views of the Taconic Mountains which are a part of the historic Berkshire region. Hikers in the Taconics can access CT and MA by walking across state lines from New York. Accessible from the guest rooms or the driveway, a spacious light-infused gallery occupies the center part of the home. It is perfect as a gathering place or for receiving guests to a B & B or a holiday party an elegant showpiece. To the right of the gallery is the residence. Some of the most significant features of the home are the soaring windows with breathtaking views, skylights opening rooms to the heavens, antique doors as well as hand-crafted wooden doors, leaded windows, an indoor 30-foot regulation-size lap pool, and flowing interior spaces that are as inviting as they are stylish. Probably the most dazzling touches are the stonework throughout, made entirely of stone found or quarried on the property. Much of it is limestone from the property's own limestone quarry. The only parts of these stone highlights that are not from the property are the numerous accent pieces of vivid blue iron ore. The stone masterpieces, some small and some very large, are featured surrounding the fireplaces, in bathrooms, and in other areas, bringing local history and natural resources together.The fully equipped kitchen, great room, and dining room flow graciously to create a friendly and comfortable family space. The primary suite is upstairs, and both bedroom and bath open through glass doors to a balcony with full views. The beautifully crafted sinks are custom-made from cherry wood from the property. The new owners will want to add finishing touches to certain areas. Easy access to private walking trails, Hudson, Great Barrington, and Catamount Ski Mt.
