A truly unique space designed and built by artists for anyone with a sense of adventure. Set on 23 wooded acres and designed to embrace a truly rich natural setting. Offering complete privacy, the 3 levels of living space are built around an astonishing natural rock outcrop and topped by a roof deck, which takes full advantage of both the seclusion and drama of the acreage. Located just a few minutes outside of New Paltz, restaurants, farms, wineries, breweries, and the walkway over the Hudson The space Massive hemlock beams, reclaimed from the property, cap each room, including the sun-drenched bedroom retreat that sits atop the building like a secret tree house. Custom ceramic art and tile mosaics - designed and fired on site - are found throughout the home, give the house a masterfully mixed sense of playfulness, warmth and modernity. The radiant heated floors provide comfortable warmth and an incredible European Tulikivi wood burning fireplace with soapstone oven can be used for cooking delicious pizzas! The house was the brainchild of renowned ceramicists Phillip Maberry and Scott Walker. Completed in 1995, and lauded as a "thrill ride on the color wheel" by the New York Times, the colorful Mayberry & Walker aesthetic combines with a design inspired by nearby Manitoga, an significant architectural home designed by Russell Wright. The property also has a fascinating pop cultural history as the site of the award winning “Love Shack,” music video, of B52s fame. The current house overlooks the former site of the original Love Shack cabin, used as the location for filming in 1989. A handmade ceramic plaque survives to commemorate the history - and we’ve found the great energy of those times also remains! It all combines for a relaxed but visually stellar experience, inside and out, right in the heart of the Hudson River Valley! ***Please see house rules regarding house usage and Pets Guest access The entire house is meant for guests to enjoy.
