Private Vacation Home
NEW: Stunning Designer Lakefront Estate w\/ Hot Tub
New Paltz, New York, United States
Highlights: Breathtaking lakeside retreat with hot tub, private dock, lakeside fireplace, chefs kitchen and sun filled rooms. Very private, yet minutes to New Paltz. brbrWelcome to Sparkling Waters! If you are looking for a chic contemporary home with unbeliveable views, this is it! brbrLocated in the private enclave of Shawangunk Ridge, neighboring the Monhonk Preserve, this house has arguably some of the best lakeside views in the county. The home was recently reimagined by the designer Melissa Anderson of OED, who brought together both the inside and outside, as well as the original charming 1970’s structure and the new modern addition. The house is now a thoughtfully designed family home, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the visual feast outside.brbrInside, soaring ceilings, huge windows, polished finishes, and many natural elements lend to a sun drenched, calm, environment. The main level has an integrated living room and kitchen area, with a fun nook to the side for reading or playing. This level also has a dining room, powder room, two bedrooms (a king bedroom - with access to the deck - and a queen) and a full bath with shower. brbrThe dining room is positioned on the “bridge” that connects the two wings and has views both to the front and back of the house. From here, a small flight of stairs leads to the principal suite. With water views, a private deck, desk area, and a huge bathroom with soaking tub, this part of the house is truly an oasis for any guest.brbrGoing down from the dining room are two small sub levels. One is a family orientated area which holds two bedrooms and a large hallway bathroom. The bedroom here has two sets of bunk beds - one with a double bed at the base, the other bedroom has a king size bed, deck access, and a crib. Further down is the media room with generous seating and a large screen television, as well as the laundry area.brbrFor dinner, a 8 minute drive into New Paltz will give you as many choices of cuisines as you could find in the city. The small college town is more than just bars and Starbucks; elevated cuisine awaits as well as boutiques, bookstores and a bevy of fun pubs and watering holes. brbrThe outside is a huge treat, with many amenities for both family fun and relaxing. A massive deck with a grill, lounge seating and dining offers unobstructed views of the water. The property is terraced, with stone paths connecting the various areas. A simple walkway leads to the hot tub, available all year round. Further down at the waters edge is a patio with large stone fireplace, as well as the dock for launching canoes and kayaks. brbrLike most Upstate Place properties, this home has a permanent crib , highchair, baby bath etc. available to make even the smallest guest’s stay welcoming and easy. Outside is a great play / activity area for the children, as well as an interesting garden and water area.brbrSparkling Waters would happily suit a few couples, a family, a multi generational family or groups of friends vacationing together. brbrFEATURES AND AMENITIES br• Gourmet chefs kitchenbr• Dining area with seating for 12 br• Fireplacebr• Work / office areabr• TV’s, books & gamesbr• Wi-Fi - very goodbr• Air Conditioning brbrOUTDOOR FEATURES br• Private Garden and dockbr• Hot tub (Open all year) br• Decksbr• Lakeside fireplace br• Children’s play setbr• Outdoor dining & seatingbr• Barbecue grillbr• Hammockbr• Driveway parking for 8 vehicles brbrFAMILY FRIENDLY br• Crib and beddingbr• Highchairbr• Childrens plates, bowls, and cupsbr• Toys and gamesbr• Baby Bathbr• Child / baby gatesbrbrLAYOUT brThree Level Home, with additional small terrace levelbrMain level has the living room, kitchen, dining room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one being a powder room)brUpper main level has principal suite with bathroom brLower main level has bunk room and family bedroom, and hallway bathroombrLower terrace level has the laundry room and media roombrbrBEDROOMS & BATHROOMS br• Bedroom 1 - Main level, Queen bed br• Bedroom 2 - Main level, King bed with deck accessbr• Bathroom 1 - Hallway access, shower combo and vanitybr• Bathroom 2 - Hallway access, powder roombr• Bedroom 3 - Upper level, King bed, ensuite, private deck, desk, tvbr• Bathroom 3 - Hallway access, principal bedroom, separate shower and tub br• Bedroom 4 - 2 sets of bunk beds, base on one has a double mattress, tv br• Bedroom 5 - King bed, deck access and cribbr• Bathroom 4 - Hallway access, shower and vanitybr• Bathrooms supplied with full products (shampoo, body wash, cotton balls, q-tips) brbrSTAFF & SERVICESbrExtra cost (advance notice required):br• Pantry / wine pre-stockingbr• Mid-stay HousekeepingbrbrLOCATIONbrPoints of Interestbr• 4 miles to New Paltzbr• 6 miles to River to Ridge Trailbr• 6 miles to Dorsey Museum of Artbr• 7 miles to Minnewaska State Parkbr• 8 miles to Monhonk Mountain House Resortbr• 13 miles to Inness Resort br• 19 miles to Kingstonbr• 30 miles to Woodstock br• 30 miles to Storm King Art Center brbrSKI ACCESS br• 8 miles to Monhonk Cross-Country Skiingbr• 51 miles to Hunter Mountainbr• 57 miles to Belleayre MountainbrbrAIRPORTSbr• 23 miles to Stewart International (SWF)br• 72 miles to Teterboro (TEB)br• 80 miles to Westchester (HPN)br• 83 miles to Albany International (ALB)br• 92 miles to Newark Liberty (EWR)br• 103 miles to John F.

However, it does have bedrooms and bathrooms on the main level.brbrUse of the lake, whether swimming or boating, is at your own risk, there are no lifeguards. The water is shallow near the dock and shoreline so please use caution. Absolutely NO DIVING. brbrUse of a life jacket, while using all watercraft, is required for all individuals. All children under 10 are required to wear life jackets at the waters edge or on the docksbrbrMake sure all embers are put out in the fireplace and fire pit when going to sleep or leaving the property. Do not leave fires in fire-pit or charcoal grills unattended. Take note of where fire extinguishers are located in each room. brbrThis house is in a rural environment and surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. While it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants, bees and ticks. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in its appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong. brbrWe look forward to welcoming you to Sparkling Waters!brPlease respect all our house rules listed in the guidebook provided, as well as the privacy of this quiet community.
