298 Stony Kill Road, Accord, NY, 12404 | $1,625,000

Tucked away at the end of a long, private driveway, the Ledge House (built in 2022) offers a rare sense of seclusion and immersion in nature while remaining close to everything that makes the Rondout Valley so desirable. As you approach the home, the landscape opens into a peaceful enclave surrounded by forest, creating an immediate feeling of retreat and privacy.

The home itself is both modern and energy-efficient designed for low-maintenance ownership and true turnkey living. With recent construction and high-performance systems, you can step into a property that requires no near-term capital expenditure.

Inside, the main floor layout is open and expansive, ideal for entertaining and hosting gatherings. Large communal spaces flow seamlessly together, while walls of windows frame the surrounding forest and create a 'treehouse' atmosphere. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the oversized living room.

The floor plan is well-suited for larger families, multigenerational use, or frequent hosting. A well-appointed ensuite primary sits on the second floor along with two additional large bedrooms and a shared bathroom. A full bedroom, bathroom and finished flex space on the ground floor provide versatility for guest quarters, a dedicated home office, gym, media room, or overflow sleeping accommodations. The home is designed to function comfortably whether hosting weekends with friends or extended stays with family.

Outdoor living is equally compelling. A sizable deck extends the living space into the landscape, complemented by an established vegetable garden and ample room to add a pool. The woodland setting includes a dramatic rock ledge and varied topography offering the opportunity to walk and explore.

The property has been thoughtfully improved with practical, future-facing upgrades including a Level 2 electric vehicle charger, a whole-house generator for peace of mind, a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the home, as a true four-season retreat. Additional improvements include closet shelving systems, an upgraded air handler, a firewood shed and the completion of a large additional exterior storage area.

Located in Accord, one of the Rondout Valley's most desirable hamlets, and in close proximity to various restaurants, farm stands and cultural points of interest. Just minutes to Inness, Westwind Orchard and Arrowood Brewery along with easy access to Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve where you can find a plethora of outdoor recreational activities that include hiking, climbing, rock scrambling and swimming. Slightly further afield is Belleayre where many residents/families have season passes for winter skiing.

This is a rare combination of privacy, modern construction, scale, and location, ideal for the buyer that wants a turnkey, design-forward home with space to gather, room to breathe, and direct access to the magic of a life in the Catskills.
