Soon after purchasing the estate, the owner's architectural team virtually built a new home, redesigned and modernized. Descending do the large bluestone steps surrounded by evergreen & floral gardens, enter the custom oak front door to an entryway. Once inside the entrance portal, natural light abounds throughout the entirety of the chic rustic modern main floor, illuminating various art pieces on the concave shelves, the wooden, metal, and glass furnishings, to the white tiled wood-burning fireplace that stretches the length of the floor to the ceiling. There are also electric windows at the top of the great room that can be manipulated electronically. The owner's desire to bring in nature elements into the home, is a testament to the special natural elements and views of the estate and surrounding rolling forests and great northern Catskills. These indigenous stone and wood elements include quarried blue-stone from the property that is present throughout the entire first floor, indigenous oak flooring throughout the main floor and large structural rough cut timbers that are present both from the oak base flooring to the ceiling as well as the decorative trusses throughout the great room. The overarching theme is one of white modern simplicity and sophistication, from the appliances, cabinets, and center island in the kitchen, furniture and bedding throughout the 4 bedrooms, the walls, ceilings, trim and windows, furniture, central dining table table, as well as the 3.5 bathrooms. There are private mountain views of the great northern Catskills that stretch for tens of miles that can be observed from various bedrooms in the home, the great room, where friends and family can eat breakfast or lunch together, or open up a dining area on the large wrap-around deck that travels nearly half the home with incredible width as well, where one can pop in and out of the main floor bedrooms. The large hard wood deck is also lovely to walk outside through one of the private entrances, where one can enjoy both sunrises to east and sunsets to the west. All the while, the dramatic Catskills Mountains provide an inspiring backdrop throughout the day. The home features a master wing with large en suite, guest and children's room, multiple entertainment areas, wine cellar, an open floor plan on the walk-out first floor, along with guest bed and en suite with direct access to the outside and a garage where one can open up and take the snowmobile, ATV, or cross county skis, out around the over 1,000 acres owned by the association and welcome to all owners. There is an incredible swimming hole just down the road approx 1/2 of a mile away from the estate, open to the members. The swimming hole is a large old fortified damn that has recently been dredged out to make it deeper where members can enjoy jumping into the approx 20 foot deep swimming hole during the warmer summer months. There is also a truly spectacular linear stone wall that gently slopes downward all the way from the home down to the forever wild land, protected by the DEP that borders the majority of the 16 acre estate. The private estates can be entered through two security gates on either side of the mountain with easy access from the NYS thruway, as well as one that is approximately 10 minutes from the middle of the historic, and fun bustling town of Woodstock. The approximate 15 or so estates of Tonché privately enjoy a lake with picnic area and newly built boat house exclusive for members, miles and miles of private hiking trails, including on the top of the mountain to the lookout tower or the many views, some of which look down upon the Esopus reservoir. The mountain estates are only 2 hours from Manhattan, approx 30 minutes from Bellearye Ski Area, 15 minutes from Woodstock, and 20 minutes to Kingston. After purchasing the property and investing over the asking price, the owner has made the price of this home incredibly attractive for the next owner to enjoy.
