Four Bedrooms on 4+ Private Acres, Minutes from Everything New Paltz Tucked back on more than four private, wooded acres, 71 Shivertown Road is the kind of Hudson Valley home that lets you exhale the moment you pull in. Green in every direction, quiet all around, and still only minutes from the village, the Thruway, and the trailheads. The main level is laid out for easy everyday living. The living room, dining room, and kitchen flow naturally into one another, making the space comfortable for quiet evenings and easy for entertaining, with the trees framed in nearly every window. The bedrooms sit on the opposite side of the house, giving them a nice sense of separation from the gathering spaces. From the kitchen, step out to the expansive deck and you're in a treehouse: morning coffee, summer dinners, and fall foliage all come with a view of nothing but forest. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and nearly 2,000 square feet of living space, there's room for everyone. The finished lower level works as its own retreat, with a second living area, a bedroom, a full bath, and a laundry room. It walks out to a fenced stone patio beneath the deck, ideal for pets or for guests who want their own space. A two-car garage and storage shed complete the picture, and the exterior was updated in 2024 with a new 50-year roof, siding, gutters, and soffits. Location, location, location. You're just minutes from Thruway Exit 18 for easy trips north and south, and a short drive across the Mid-Hudson Bridge to the Poughkeepsie Metro-North station for an easy ride into NYC. Then there's everything New Paltz is known for. The Shawangunk Ridge, home to some of the world's finest rock climbing, is right here, along with miles of hiking at Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park. Bike or stroll the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, or cross the Hudson on the Walkway Over the Hudson. Spend weekends at farm markets and pick-your-own orchards, explore historic Huguenot Street, and enjoy a lively food and art scene in the village. Local breweries, cideries, wineries, and distilleries are scattered through the surrounding countryside. Privacy, space, and an unbeatable location: this is the Hudson Valley life you've been looking for.
