In Ulster County, not often found is a home with such rustic charm from an era long forgotten as is seen in the design of dramatic spaces and forms this Modern Farmhouse offers.   Few structures elude such uniqueness that joins two legendary styles of cutting edge architecture and classic Hudson Valley farmhouse charm.  Created with old- fashioned gable roofs and textures and shapes from the classic era this iconic farmhouse is a blessing to the upstate New York landscape and offers us memory of the lovely white houses we viewed on quiet country excursions in our youth. 

 

This design was not for the meek at heart but yet for the passionate homeowner who is drawn to opportunities to discover while still experiencing feelings of familiarity.  Created in the green design for efficiency and comfort this structure will make the great weekend getaway, a summer paradise or the location you call home 365 days a year.  Located on a pristine championship golf course, Mohonk View Lane is Ulster County’s premiere golf property. 

 

The 28-foot ceilings that highlight the extremely large living space are intended to leave even the most capable decorator in awe.  The huge sitting area is enhanced by a wooden fireplace that delivers visions of romantic excursions while at the other end the entertainment center awaits to offer you escape from the stress of a tiring day.  The large living room flows passionately onto two decks built for large outings graced by family and friends.  The view from each is equally breathtaking whether it is the picturesque view of the Shawangunk mountain range, the soothing farmlands or the 18-hole golf course that awaits your presence.  Although the decks are large and inviting they offer the utmost in privacy for those intimate moments we encounter.

 

Perhaps the jewel in this crown is the master suite, which is seemingly secluded from the rest of the home.  Not only does it offer a walk in closet fit for a Queen but a master bath area that could just as easily be mistaken for a spa.  The showers and toiletry spaces are secluded from one another while two his and her vanities are divided by a Japanese tub designed for soaking that is no less than 6-feet long and offers a window above for your relaxing pleasure.
