6 Apartments For Rent Near State University of New York at New Paltz

One of the most enchanting properties in Ulster County is now available for the first time ever...as a yearly lease. The large timber-frame barn converted into a dwelling was formerly part of the Dippel Dairy Farm, and is now a lyrical 8-acre hideaway that feels like an oasis far from the madding crowd, yet is minutes to New Paltz and other nearby towns. Upon entering at the electronic gate, one feels immersed in an English Cotswoldian dream with the lush and mature landscaping and various outdoor spaces conceived with a master gardeners eye. Many inspiring outdoors hang out spots: by the pristine gunite pool...on the deck off the barn, the raised deck which allows one to peruse the entire property from a higher vantage point and outdoor dining under a beautiful pergola. The most magical sleeping arrangement is a large greenhouse that is used by the present owners as a seasonal bedroom under the stars w/ a compost toilet. The great room is the heart of the home, with original wide-board floors, multiple sitting areas, dining space, wood-burning fireplace, 20-foot ceilings and original beams exposed throughout. The gourmet chef's kitchen feels like it's out of a movie set oozing with Old World charm: beautiful windows and skylights, cobalt blue tile and a large almost 6' diameter dining table for entertaining with views of the gardens beyond. The lofted bedroom enjoys its own sitting area and bathroom with soaking tub. The barn’s lower level includes a pantry/wine room and 2 modest bedrooms, one with direct outside access to a lushly planted stone patio. The stone former milk house, a short distance from the house, can be curated as an additional sleeping space and is heated for year-round use...and could also be a very private office for working remotely. If you could possibly tear yourself away from this wonderous property, attractions abound. Minnewaska State Park, The River to Ridge Trail, Rail Trail, and the Mohonk Preserve are close-by, as are the towns of New Paltz, Rosendale, High Falls, Stone Ridge, vibrant Kingston as well as countless farms,breweries, galleries, restaurants and shops. Transportation from the city is a breeze, with the Thruway nearby and the Trailways bus station in town.
