This is a very rare property with a legal zoning of mining and quarrying. This tax lot comes with 92 acres. There is a second lot that has road frontage on Route 17B that is included in the sale. SBL 11.-1-39.4 with an additional 6.26 acres which gives you access from Route 17B into the larger property. Attention buyers and sellers of electrical power. NYSEG lines are very close to the property. In my years as a realtor I do not remember a legal quarry property coming on the market. Anyway it is a rare find for the right buyer.

MODERN CLIFFSIDE RETREAT “Design begins before the client arrives and doesn’t end until after the owner takes the keys.” is the mission statement of the NYC based Design-Build firm of Kushner Studios. Fifteen of his iconic projects were recently featured in RTF’s article ‘2021 Global Architecture and Design Awards. https://awards.rethinkingthefuture.com/gada/ Cutting edge architect Adam Kushner doesn’t just design landscapes around a house but houses around the landscape. Located under the revered cliffs of the Shawangunk mountains in Gardiner, NY, Adam’s latest project is to be sculpted through the landscape of ravines and rock formations to capture the incredible vistas of the nearby ridge. His avant garde creation is cradled by the forest on one side and spreads its wings toward the pond and climbing walls beyond. Adam Kushner has commented that this project “is meant to distill the entire geological history of the Shawanagunks into one piece of construction. It speaks to an awareness of its glacial history and is meant to intentionally hark back to the large rocks as they fell to the ground as the glacier receded, here caught mid fall and suspended by the trees. Literal physical quotes are seen in Lake Awasting [the pool] and Spyglass, the noted boulder seen at the top of Undercliff road. [the large floating main house.] And a special homage is given to the stacks of cordwood commonly found around the Hudson Valley as a prime source of fuel, here elevated to a central and unifying 2+ story entrance piece.”. Featuring 3 floors above grade and a walk out basement the design offers 4 full bedrooms, including lower guest quarters, 3 baths, powder room and 2 full kitchens. The house will also have two exterior recreational spaces: the roof deck, which will serve as an observatory and the ground floor patio, which will include a 40-foot pool leading to a tucked in jacuzzi located in the garage/lounge area. There will be two balconies: off of the top floor living room space and the Master Bedroom space. There will be an unenclosed terrace at the Mezzanine level. No expense has been spared in the plans which include steel beams and columns, state of the art High Efficiency HVAC system and steel railings. New Construction, to be built. Fabulous location only 90 minutes to NYC, just steps away from the State Park and minutes to Mohonk preserve offering world class climbing, biking and hiking. Then...after working up an appetite, enjoy the varied local fare of Gardiner and New Paltz. Here you go - a unique, rare home, setting and opportunity!!

Perched at the top of a cliff, Skylark’s contemporary design (by architect and developer Marica McKeel of Studio MM) is inspired by its namesake’s avian energy and joyful song. This modern, to-be-built 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home has an elongated footprint that stretches along the ridgeline to maximize natural-light-filled living areas and incredible Catskills views. Featuring an open floor plan, generously-sized bedrooms, several work-from-home spaces, detached guest house, pool, and ample outdoor entertaining areas, Skylark is the ideal full-time family residence or elevated weekend retreat. The heart of the home includes a spacious kitchen, dining area, and living space with a wood-burning stove and polished concrete floors. Floor-to-ceiling windows, sliding glass doors, and clerestory windows line the eastern facade, allowing daylight to flood in. Decks at both the front and rear of the home allow for outdoor entertaining at any time of day: the covered back deck takes advantage of the long evening light, while the front deck is perfect for morning coffee or afternoon hangouts. Tucked behind the kitchen is a conveniently located space that could be your studio, office, library, or gym — whatever you imagine! At the end of the first-floor hall, you will find two bedrooms, each complete with full ensuite bathrooms. Designed as a “nesting perch,” the second floor, with white oak floors throughout, includes an expansive main bath and an open lofted space overlooking the stairs — ideal for an additional workspace, children’s play area, or reading nook. Nearby, the primary bedroom makes you feel like you’re floating in midair with windows on three sides. The elegant ensuite bathroom is a haven of self-care, divided into a powder room and fully tiled wet room with a walk-in shower and freestanding soaking tub. Additional sink and counter space and a spacious walk-in closet complete the primary suite. A single-car attached garage seamlessly connects to the home's mudroom for multi-season comfort and functionality. On its exterior, warm wood soffits and stained siding lend a natural feel, and the varied rooflines provide comfortable shade on warmer summer days. The juxtaposition of the main house and detached guest house creates a natural courtyard for the centrally located pool. The guest house provides additional living space and a private suite with a full bath and soaking tub. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors connect the living area to the expansive pool deck, while a built-in counter serves as the perfect bar or breakfast nook. Skylark is sited on the 5.6-acre Lot 4 at Catskill Terraces, at the end of a private rural road shared with only one other building site. Site electrical will be completed along the road to the beginning of a short driveway, and Board of Health approvals for septic designs are in place. This private, wooded parcel features a sloping landscape dotted with glacial boulders. Summer greenery creates additional privacy, while western-facing Kaaterskill Wild Forest views are visible in cooler months. There is opportunity to create year-round views with strategic clearing, however, designated greenbelt areas ensure that tree cover will remain.
