Ashokan Acres

Some places make you slow down. Ashokan Acres makes you stop entirely.

Set on 125 private acres in the Hudson Valley foothills, this historic stone home is the kind of property that takes a moment to fully absorb. Built during the founding era of the United States, it is one of approximately 50 homes constructed in Marbletown during that period --- a detail recognized by the Marbletown Historic Preservation Commission and one that gives the property a weight and character no new build can replicate. Panoramic Catskills views stretch across the horizon. A swimmable pond catches the afternoon light just beyond the patio. Trails wind through your own private land, leading to two seasonal waterfalls you can actually hike to. There's a wood-burning sauna, a restored barn repurposed as a gathering space, and an open fire pit where evenings tend to last longer than planned. This isn't a rental that happens to have outdoor space --- the land is the whole point.

Inside, the home is as considered as the setting around it. Exposed stone walls and timber beams give the 4,000-square-foot interior a grounded, architectural warmth, while vaulted ceilings and oversized windows flood the living spaces with natural light and frame the landscape like a painting. Two fireplaces add to the atmosphere throughout the home. The kitchen is fully equipped and gourmet-caliber, anchored by a large gas range and outfitted for the kind of meals that call for a big table --- and the dining room delivers one. A Sonos stereo system keeps the soundtrack going, and when the mood calls for something more, there's a piano.

Six bedrooms sleep up to 10 across a thoughtful mix of configurations --- a king suite, queen rooms, and two bunk-friendly spaces ideal for kids or groups traveling together. Four full bathrooms and a half bath round out the layout, and a game room with a pool table gives everyone somewhere to land between adventures.

Outside, the hot tub sits on the patio overlooking the water. The BBQ grill is stocked and ready. The trails --- and the waterfalls at the end of them --- are yours to explore.

Ashokan Acres sits within easy reach of Woodstock, Kingston, and Stone Ridge --- each with its own distinct character, from record shops and art galleries to farm-to-table dining and antique hunting. The area draws people who know the Hudson Valley well, and keeps drawing them back. But with 125 acres to roam and a property this complete, leaving feels entirely optional.

This is a place that rewards guests who want to genuinely unplug --- to trade notifications for birdsong and itineraries for instinct. Come any time of year. The Catskills have a way of being exactly what you need, whatever the season.

Comprised of quaint towns, each with their own charming main street, upstate New York's Hudson Valley is famed for its natural beauty and seasonal produce. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters who captured the area's rolling hills, colorful foliage, and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains. Then, visit local farms where there's a lot to pick: apples in the fall, strawberries in the summer, and vegetables in between.
