If you love unique upstate properties, this gorgeous Hudson Valley yurt house is a jaw-dropping delight. It’s a perfect place to watch all the Northern Lights New York has to offer while being a short drive from New York City.
“Situated on over 37 acres and directly linked to the Appalachian Trail this expansive property features an in-ground saltwater pool,” says the Zillow listing for 306 Gardner Hollow Road in Poughquag, New York. “Just 1.5 hours from NYC, this is a nature enthusiast’s dream home.”
Positioned on its own private hill, the yurt house property offers breathtaking year-round views of the Hudson Valley and nearby Catskill Mountains.
It’s a short drive from the nearby resources of Poughkeepsie, the Hudson Valley Mall in Kingston, Westchester County and the Berkshires to the north.
There are two interconnected yurts, united by a curved breezeway to seamlessly marry the separate living spaces.
“The main yurt home includes a beautiful chef’s kitchen leading into the living room featuring expansive windows and breathtaking vista views. The kitchen blends functionality and style, featuring a walk-in pantry, marble countertops, double wall ovens and a concealed induction cooktop within a handmade butcher block island.”
It’s practically begging you to bring your vintage cast iron skillet and tea pot collection.
At nearly 4,000 livable square feet, this home lives like a four-bedroom vacation masterpiece even though it’s listed on town records as a three-bedroom home with an impressive loft.
“The main yurt also features a well-appointed bathroom with a large soaking tub and shower, and a laundry room.”
“Each room is adorned with antique pocket doors. Upstairs you will find a loft with a half bath and a skylight allowing you to sleep under the stars.”
Below the main level, there is a finished walk-out basement with an electric fireplace that’s sure to create cozy ambiance on chilly New York nights.
“An adjacent smaller yurt could serve as a guest suite or master suite, complete with its own skylight, freestanding bathtub, washer-dryer and a wood-burning stove.”
The property also features underground electric wiring, a well for clean and free drinking water and a septic system for sewage. The property boasts fields of zone 6 perennials and wildflowers nestled at its base.
The nearby Pawling Metro-North station offers a direct link to Manhattan and the Bronx, effortlessly combining rural seclusion with urban convenience. This also means your guests can visit you without driving—a total win for cityfolk.
