Property Description

Tucked down a long driveway on 4.3 private, wooded acres, just outside Woodstock, this thoughtfully designed contemporary home offers the rare combination of true seclusion and effortless livability. Built with a post and beam, passive solar design, the home was constructed to work with its surroundings. Inside, 1,852 square feet are laid out across two comfortable levels, with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Both full baths were newly renovated this year. Heated floors run throughout both levels, keeping the home warm and quiet through every Catskills winter, while a cozy fireplace anchors the main living space. The eat-in chef's kitchen is a standout: a commercial Thermador range and hood, a wall-size Thermador refrigerator, a Thermador dishwasher and trash compactor make it as functional for everyday life as it is for entertaining. Every bathroom is outfitted with a TOTO heated bidet toilet and heated floors. The basement adds flexible living space, recreation space or storage. Fresh paint on both the interior and exterior gives the whole home a crisp, turn-key feel, layered on top of a long list of substantial updates: a newer metal roof, Andersen windows, a Mitsubishi mini-split system with five zones for efficient heating and cooling, and radiant zoned heat for the colder months. A whole house generator means comfort and peace of mind are never in question, whatever the season throws at you. Step outside and the setting takes over. A wraparound deck looks out over the private backyard and a hot tub lets you soak year-round. The attached 3 car garage includes a flexible loft space above, which is ideal for a home office, art studio or guest space. The wooded acreage offers genuine privacy without sacrificing usability, whether you're picturing gardens, a play area, or simply room to roam. The location is the kind that's hard to put a price on. Shokan sits next to the Ashokan Reservoir, with the scenic Ashokan Rail Trail and Phoenicia which has some of the best hiking the Catskills has to offer. 15 minutes to Woodstock's shops, galleries, and restaurants, while Kingston's fuller range of shopping and services is roughly 20 minutes away. Skiing is a short 30 minute drive to both Belleayre and Hunter Mountain. This location is close enough for convenience but far enough to come home to total quiet. It's a setting that has long drawn second home buyers and full time residents alike who want real Catskills character without giving up modern comfort. Energy efficient, meticulously updated, and set on a private parcel, 56 Ridge Road is a great chance to own a true retreat. 1hr 30 min drive from the GWB.
