189 Bush Road, Stone Ridge, NY, 12484

189 Bush Road is a custom-built Arts & Crafts contemporary-style home set back on a long, winding private drive and surrounded by mature trees, professionally designed gardens, and natural landscape. The property delivers a rare balance of privacy, warmth, and accessibility while remaining minutes from the center of Stone Ridge. Cedar shakes, redwood siding, and a mahogany front porch add warmth, texture, and craftsmanship to the home's exterior, blending naturally into the surrounding landscape. Classic Arts & Crafts architecture with a contemporary feel and thoughtfully designed interiors emphasize natural materials, handcrafted details, and abundant natural light. Large Pella windows and oak hardwood floors create bright, warm spaces that feel calm, welcoming, and connected to the surrounding landscape. The kitchen offers cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and timeless finishes, elegant yet approachable. Formal and informal living spaces flow easily, creating an environment well suited to quiet evenings, entertaining, creative work, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. The grounds are composed of distinct outdoor rooms: an English garden, a secluded Zen meditation garden tucked into the woods, and a seasonal Japanese water garden that evolves with the seasons. Winding paths, mature plantings, and thoughtfully placed landscape elements create a serene, curated connection to nature. Select statues in the English garden and at the front gate will remain with the property. Originally designed to integrate formal gardens with the surrounding natural landscape, the parcel still offers opportunities for expanded outdoor living, additional gardens, lawn areas, or a pool. Custom pool plans designed by the owner and landscape architect are included with the sale. Selective tree clearing can reveal long hidden mountain views from trees that have matured over the past 20 years. The attached garage provides flexible space for cars, storage, a workshop, a studio, or future expansion. Throughout the property, craftsmanship and thoughtful planning are evident, from the garage and workshop to the landscape design.
