Property Description
The second-floor great room is the heart of the house. Part living room, part library, part place to sit with a fire going in the wood stove, equally right for a dinner party or a quiet evening alone. The picture windows show an old stone wall and expansive meadows beyond, with an easterly view of the Gunks.
The primary suite is its own world. Understated and calm, with a large soaking tub. A room built for rest -- the kind that takes a day or two to remember how to do.
Above it all, a third floor open to whatever it's needed for. Studio. Office. Yoga. Stargazing. Writing. I can imagine the Great American Novel being crafted here.
On the outside, the first thing you might notice is the quiet. Open fields give way to the Shawangunk Ridge on the horizon. Old stone walls. Gardens already established. The back patio is local bluestone. A garden shed for everything you'll want to grow. A wood shed, built by the current owner, stocked and ready, so the wood stove never runs short.
The practical details are as considered as the romantic ones. A new roof in 2018, 50-year shingles. New septic in 2015. Mini-splits handle heating and cooling year-round -- no drafty old-house compromises.
Living in Olivebridge means enjoying the best of the Hudson Valley at your doorstep. Everyday conveniences are surprisingly close, from neighborhood delis and cafés to farm stands, artisan bakeries, and specialty markets. Whether you're picking up a breakfast sandwich at Tetta's Deli, fresh vegetables from a local farm, handmade pierogies, wood-fired sourdough, or meeting friends for coffee or dinner, the area offers an abundance of locally owned businesses that make daily life both easy and delicious.
The surrounding communities are equally rich in outdoor recreation and small-town charm. Miles of rail trails, kayaking, swimming holes, orchards, and parks invite you outside year-round, while destinations like the Ashokan Reservoir and Catskill Mountains provide endless opportunities to explore. You will appreciate the nearby libraries, community events, yoga studios, and recreational facilities. Music lovers can enjoy everything from intimate local performances to world-class concerts at venues like Maverick Concerts and Tanglewood.
One of Olivebridge's greatest strengths is its vibrant arts and cultural scene. Within a short drive you'll find live theater, independent cinema, chamber music, jazz, festivals, bookstores, workshops, and community gatherings throughout Stone Ridge, Rosendale, Woodstock, Bard College, and beyond. It's a place where rural beauty and creative energy come together, offering residents a lifestyle that feels both peaceful and remarkably connected.
