Property Description

Charming Riverfront Retreat in New Paltz Welcome to River View Cottage, a picturesque 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home plus accessory studio cabin nestled on one acre along the Wallkill River in sought-after New Paltz. This property blends rustic charm with modern comfort, offering breathtaking water views and a serene natural setting. Enjoy the open-concept living space with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and original hardwood floors. Abundant windows frame panoramic river views, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth and ambiance on cozy winter nights. For year-round comfort, newly installed ductless mini-splits provide efficient heating and cooling. The thoughtfully designed layout of the main house includes two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom with in-unit laundry. Step outside the kitchen onto a spacious, recently built bluestone patio, inviting you to dine al fresco while overlooking the expansive yard leading to the river. The outdoor space offers three patios for relaxing and entertaining, a wide lawn with a fire pit, and a shed to store tools. The property has a second bonus unit, a private studio cabin with a full bathroom/shower and deck by the river’s edge, offering the perfect guest retreat, home office, or artist’s studio—all with breathtaking waterfront views. Meticulously maintained property with a brand new roof, newly paved driveway, carbon water filtration system, some new windows, and well-maintained trees. Located just minutes from downtown New Paltz, Main Street Gardiner, the Shawangunk Ridge, Mohonk Preserve, and Minnewaska State Park, this rare riverside gem offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience.
