326 Ralph Vedder Road, Saugerties, NY 12477

Property Description

The perfect compound does exist. Three dwellings in all: a main house with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, plus two separate cottages with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom each. The 2,476 square feet above reflects all three structures combined. This serene property fuses a country lifestyle with city sophistication. The peaceful setting offers a beautifully restored farmhouse alongside two charming guest houses, one with its own parking and private entrance for complete separation. The sound of the waterfall across the road carries through the property with its subtle, relaxing song most of the year. A fourth structure rounds out the compound: an iconic red barn/garage and work room. The farmhouse is shaded by a 200-year-old maple that is breathtaking to behold, and the gardens were developed by Rhinebeck's Phantom Gardener. The property extends across Ralph Vedder Rd to encompass several hundred feet of the stream. Step inside and discover this gracious country home. Custom maple cabinetry, statuary marble counters, a Viking range and Miele dishwasher complete the kitchen. The living room and family area say ''country comfort,'' appealing in their soft palette and polished wood flooring that runs throughout. A quaint ground floor bedroom opens directly to the private bluestone patio, a wonderful addition whether for dining or as a quiet spot for reading and a cocktail. Two upstairs bedrooms are bright and comfortable, with the waterfall's magical serenade coming through open windows. And what a bathroom. The size of a bedroom, it offers high ceilings and beautiful light for a real sense of spacious well-being. Waterworks fixtures throughout, with a soaking tub sited dramatically below the chandelier and a separate large shower. Both guest houses have a separate bedroom and kitchen. The red barn/garage and workshop adds room for two cars, storage, a workroom or a studio. The home also boasts a large, sunny, fenced organic veggie and herb garden. Flowing lawns surround the houses, and a lovely meadow extends into the woods, leaving plenty of room to add a pool.
