90-92 Steam Hollow Road, Ellenville, NY 12428

Perched at the top of a gentle hill on 33+ acres, this storybook farmhouse homestead genuinely feels like a postcard come to life with gorgeous mature landscaping and sweeping mountain and meadow views. Trails cut through the meadow and meander throughout the property leading down to the West Branch Bear Kill along the border, where you can launch a kayak for a lazy, peaceful float downstream or sit streamside for a moment of quiet reflection. First the main house. Built in the early 90s by a film industry set designer with an obsessive eye for authenticity, every detail was chosen to evoke the soul of a much older farmhouse, and it delivers completely. Before you even step inside, a large and level yard leads you to the classic wraparound rocking chair porch that invites you to pause for a moment and take in the views from every angle. One can easily imagine sitting there with a good book and a cool drink in hand on a warm spring day. Step through the front door and the character hits you immediately. Wide plank floors run throughout, and the home is bathed in natural light. The living room is anchored by a beautiful fireplace with a handsome antique mantle, and french doors open right onto the porch so the outside always feels close. A charming designated entry area keeps things organized without sacrificing the flow of the space. The kitchen is a true showstopper -- thoughtfully updated with a Wolf range, custom white cabinetry, a wood beam range hood, and a generous peninsula with bar seating that makes it as social as it is functional. The dining area sits just beyond, easy and open. On the main floor you will also find a sizable guest bedroom and a full bathroom complete with a clawfoot tub. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a genuine retreat with its own fireplace and multiple windows pouring in light and treetop views. A beautifully appointed bathroom also with a classic clawfoot tub serves the upper level, along with a second bedroom for guests or use it as a sizable office space. The 1930s guest cottage is its own romantic story. Thoughtfully updated while holding tight to its vintage charm, it offers 968 square feet with one bedroom, a sleeping loft, a full bathroom, mini splits, and a wood stove. Its retro-modern kitchen shines and flows nicely into the cozy dining and living area. The cottage has its own private yard and a separate electric meter. The current owners have used it as a short term rental with guests who return again and again, and it is easy to see why. Whether it becomes a creative retreat, caretaker housing, or simply extra space for the people you love most, the choice is entirely yours. A large barn with high ceilings rounds out the property, ideal for serious storage and brimming with the kind of potential that gets your imagination going. The property is just 10 minutes from Ellenville's dining, festival and event venue scene, along with a wealth of outdoor activities. Kerhonkson, Accord, Mountain Dale, Livingston Manor, and many other beloved Hudson Valley destinations are all within 15 to 30 minutes.
