Art Studio House is situated at the end of a 1.5 mile private road and surrounded by an 150 acre private scenic mountaintop preserve with bucolic views of the Taconic-Berkshires and sunset views of the Catskills. The property is designed as a secluded art/creative studio live-work space with expansive minimal spaces and a large light-filled garage-studio. Art Studio House is net positive and powered by rooftop solar. The 2700 sqft Art Studio House is designed in the manner of a live-work loft space. Guests enter through a large mudroom on the ground floor. The ground floor has access to the heated and air conditioned 3-car garage which is used as indoor/outdoor studio work space. The garage includes a Tesla charger, utility stainless steel sink and a refrigerator-freezer. The downstairs bedroom has a Full Size Swedish horsehair bed, en suite bathroom with shower, walk-in closet and a table that can be used as a workspace. The upstairs master bedroom is part of a loft floor plan and is open to the main living space. This space has a "European" King Size (two single beds pushed together), en suite combined shower-bath, closet and book shelves. Additional short-term sleeping arrangements or alternative bed arrangements in rooms are available upon request. Up to six people can share the Studio House if arrangements are made in advance. The main living space includes a 4-seat dining table with extra stool seating and a large industrial kitchen with center island. The kitchen has a column refrigerator and a separate "storage" refrigerator-freezer is in the garage studio space. A mohair sofa and small chairs compose the minimal living room seating area. A Bang and Olufsen Beosound Edge, independent artist books and an Apple iMac desktop monitor are found in a media corner of the open loft space. The living room has access to (2) attic/storage lofts which should not be accessed by guests. Outside, on the southern side of house, there is a large driveway space that is used as a patio garden with firepit and picnic table. On the north side of house, there is an outdoor mudroom shower (summer only) and a garden with charcoal BBQ. A short distance from the house is one mountaintop view point, part of a southern-oriented bucolic viewshed of rolling rural hills, meadows and wetlands. In the foreground, restored fields flank the long private drive through the Preserve. Here there is woodland seating and a hammock. From here, old logging trails provide access to the remaining 150 acre Preserve. A quarter-mile moss path brings you to another mountaintop viewpoint with spectacular sunset views over the Catskills. The private Preserve road to house is almost 1.5 miles long. Although roads are plowed and maintained guests are required to have 4x4 capable vehicles in winter. The Art Studio House preserve is located at the end of a quiet dirt road, accessed through miles of scenic farmland. The House is less than 30 minutes to Hudson, NY and Great Barrington, MA. It is a short drive from the Harlemville Hathorne Valley Waldorf School and Farm Store. A car is generally required for transportation to and from this secluded site. Although grocery deliveries, mountain bike rentals and private drivers can be arranged upon request. Important: During winter, 4x4 capable vehicles are required to access the Preserve safely. Generally, a 15 mph speed limit should be maintained on all neighborhood dirt roads. Studio House Rules - No children. However, we are willing to assess families on a case-by-case basis.
