Residential Land with Home for Sale in Woodstock, New York

Highwoods Haven rests on just over two quiet acres where sunlight filters through tall hardwoods and birdsong fills the air. Although the setting feels miles from anywhere, the property lies barely five minutes from Woodstock's Village Green and within a short, scenic drive of Kingston and Saugerties. A comprehensive 2021 renovation infused the four-bedroom, two-bath residence with modern comfort while preserving its artistic soul. Former owner and Woodstock author Helen Weaver once welcomed Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and other luminaries beneath this very roof. Step through the front door and an airy great room unfolds - chef's kitchen, dining area, and living space flowing together beneath vaulted ceilings. Four glass sliders invite daylight to wander inside, then open wide to an expansive wrap-around deck and a deep screened porch. Mornings begin with coffee among the treetops, afternoons drift into alfresco lunches in summer shade, and evenings conclude with cocktails under a sky alive with stars. Inside, rich oak floors and understated finishes lend warmth without distraction, allowing the surrounding landscape to remain the home's quiet centerpiece. The bi-level layout is thoughtfully conceived for flexibility and privacy. Upstairs, a generous primary suite accommodates a king bed; one enjoys the romance of a wood-burning fireplace that casts a golden glow on winter evenings. A spa-style bath, finished in polished stone and brushed brass, serves this level with a deep soaking tub that invites an unhurried exhale. On the main floor, two additional bedrooms offer space for guests or a dedicated office, sharing a crisp, contemporary bath that echoes the home's calm aesthetic. Downstairs, a second living area gathers friends around a vintage cast-iron stove whose gentle heat amplifies the invitation to linger over movies or board games when snow drifts beyond the windows. There is a second primary suite bedroom with a bath, allowing guests to choose which floor to rest on. Comfort is engineered into every detail: a high-efficiency heat-pump system installed in 2023 provides room-by-room climate control; a brand-new well delivers excellent pressure; and smart-home technology allows you to adjust temperature or lighting from anywhere in the world. Life at Highwoods Haven extends well beyond its walls. Three minutes down the lane, members-only Zena Recreation Club offers a pool, tennis courts, and year-round community events. Trailheads leading to hidden waterfalls, glass-clear swimming holes, and protected nature preserves lace the surrounding hills. At the same time, farm-to-table restaurants, galleries, and live-music venues sustain Woodstock's legendary creative heartbeat. Rhinecliff Amtrak lies twenty minutes away, placing New York City less than two hours from your front door. In a region celebrated for its harmony of culture and wilderness, Highwoods Haven stands apart - private yet convenient, historic yet turnkey, effortless yet inspiring. It is a home designed not merely to be occupied, but to be experienced, savored, and remembered. A 3D Walkthrough Tour is available in the digital Lookbook or by request from the listing agent.
