About The Property

Tucked away at the end of a long, secluded driveway off a quiet country road, Aden Pond House, an elegant contemporary home, offers an unparalleled connection with nature. Imagine waking up to the gentle sounds of the Middle Mongaup River flowing through your park-like 5+ acre property, where a perfect blend of evergreen and deciduous trees creates a private oasis. A recently planted Japanese garden graces the front, offering a serene welcome to this special property. Thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light, the home boasts an expansive open concept living space featuring a dramatic wall of windows that frames breathtaking views, soaring cathedral ceilings that amplify the sense of space, and a fabulous fieldstone fireplace that serves as a cozy focal point. Three sets of French doors seamlessly connect the indoors with the outdoors, leading to an expansive stone terrace complete with a relaxing hot tub overlooking the tranquil spring-fed swimming pond. The subtle architecture allows this thoughtfully designed three-level home to effortlessly integrate with the rolling hillside and beautiful natural rock outcroppings, creating a truly harmonious and private retreat.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a captivating balcony with transom windows and a picturesque view overlooking the elegant living area below. Here, the dramatic cathedral ceilings and an abundance of natural light stream in through the windows. A stylish flagstone staircase leads you down to the open concept living and dining area, a space that effortlessly lends itself to entertaining. The compact yet fully equipped kitchen exudes a sophisticated midcentury modern vibe and is perfectly situated for serving cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Through the French doors, the outdoor space boasts the relaxing hot tub, convenient outdoor speakers for setting the mood, thoughtful lighting for evening ambiance, and several delightful spots for gathering with friends and family. Step down stone stairs to explore the grounds, take a refreshing dip in the spring-fed swimming pond, or enjoy a peaceful paddle around the water on your kayak. Venture to the far end of the property and discover a serene riverside retreat, where you can sit and listen to the peaceful melody of the flowing water. Back inside, find cozy comfort in the versatile media/reading room, alongside the living area and thoughtfully set up by the sellers for memorable movie nights.

The layout of this three-level home is truly ideal for accommodating guests, offering both you and your visitors appreciated privacy with four bedrooms spread throughout the different levels. Two of these bedrooms feature the added convenience and luxury of ensuite bathrooms. On the main floor, the primary bedroom is a true sanctuary, featuring high ceilings, atrium doors to the stone terrace, a wood-burning fireplace, and a generous walk-in closet. In keeping with the high-end finishes throughout the home, the primary bathroom is designed with beautiful white marble and custom fixtures. It also boasts the comfort of radiant heat and a luxurious steam shower for ultimate relaxation. Also on this level, a second spacious bedroom features high ceilings, unique trapezoid windows, and atrium doors leading to the patio. This bedroom also offers access to a full bathroom, conveniently serving as a powder room for the main living area. A practical laundry room with a large sink and ample storage closets in the hallway connects this wing of the house to the main living area.

Ascending to the upper level, you’ll discover two additional charming bedrooms with one featuring a private en-suite bathroom for added convenience. Completing the amenities of this wonderful property is a heated 2-car garage with a handy attached mudroom, perfect for managing outdoor gear.
