30 Dawson Lane, Kerhonkson, NY 12446

30 Dawson Lane is purpose-built for city dwellers that want a consistent, low-friction escape from the city, something that reliably shifts you out of weekday intensity and into a slower, more restorative rhythm where the only sounds are the rustling of leaves and the symphony of nature, inviting you to decompress. Located approximately 2 hours from the George Washington Bridge, the property is close enough for spontaneous weekends, yet far enough to deliver a meaningful shift in pace. Set at the end of a private dead-end road on 5.5 acres, it offers the kind of quiet and separation that actually allows you to switch off. No through traffic, no noise, just a setting where you can ride bikes, walk the dog, and move freely while you unplug. Inside, the home is structured around how weekends actually unfold. The main level is open, bright, and social, with high ceilings and expansive windows that pull in natural light throughout the day. It's a space designed for togetherness; meals that stretch, conversations that linger, all with a constant visual connection to the outdoors. The oversized screened-in porch and wraparound deck function as a second living area for much of the year. Morning coffee outside, kids playing within sight, dinners that move seamlessly from indoors to out. The main floor primary suite offers separation and privacy, anchored by three large picture windows that frame the surrounding landscape. It's quiet, removed, and intentionally positioned as a retreat within the retreat. Downstairs, a substantial secondary living area solves a common friction point for families: competing uses of space. While one group gathers upstairs by the fireplace, another can watch a movie, play, or unwind below. The layout supports parallel activity without compromise. The land itself is fully usable and completely private. Currently set up with a playground and garden, it has the scale and flexibility to evolve; whether that means adding a pool, expanding outdoor entertaining areas, or simply preserving the open space to roam. Positioned within easy reach of Minnewaska State Park Preserve and the broader Catskills, offering access to hiking, swimming holes, waterfalls, and year-round recreation. Nearby Accord and Kerhonkson provide a growing network of restaurants, cideries, breweries, farm stands, and low-key local destinations that make weekends feel full without requiring effort or planning.
