656 Traver RD Pleasant Valley, NY 12569

Hudson Valley sanctuary begins at the driveway's entrance. As you wind down the driveway you will immediately feel the weight of the day release from your body as you look around at the beautiful scenery, the wildlife, the multi level rock outcropping (perfect for rock scrambling) and the criss-crossing of the nature trails. At the crest of a hill you are rewarded with a vista of the pond with the house and formal gardens in the distance set in the midst of 21.5 acres. As you approach the parking area you pass blueberry bushes and a cedar fenced vegetable garden. Beyond the house and down a well-used sledding hill lies the meandering stream that feeds the Wappingers Creek. Almost 2 miles of hiking trails, wide enough to enjoy a 4 x 4, including a man made wooden arched bridge crossing the creek to a path that leads you to your own campsite, complete with a shelter, fire pit , benches and a picnic table where friends and family have enjoyed many days and nights of games, laughter and some sleep. Of course, the home is large enough to entertain inside but also outside on the covered 10' deep wrap around mahogany porch, the expansive multi-level rear decks and patio with fire pit where you will enjoy all the beauty of the landscaped gardens and natural growth. Outdoor games are fun as well, on the level front yard where you will find a well used horseshoe pit and 12 x 24 shed that is floored and shelved w/electric and a good place to store all your outdoor toys. Inside the home is drenched in natural light with long windows. Kitchen/breakfast/dining area have direct access to the garage and to the multi-level rear deck through french doors On the cool mornings you can flip a switch to warm the breakfast/dining area with the propane stove while also being warmed by the morning sun. The 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor includes master suite with soaring cathedral ceilings, bath with double sink, separate shower and a large deep jacuzzi tub w/views of the sunrise and creek. If you would like a place to do yoga or read then the loft area with giant front window looking out to the gardens and pond are where you will find serenity. Should you find yourself in need of space for guests or for kids to play their indoor games then the finished day light lower level is their private space with another set of French doors to rear wooden patio.
