Amidst 28 private
acres, a Zen like peace and quiet wraps around you as
you listen to the waterfall streaming into the Japanese
water-garden including a koi pond, a swimming pond with
a waterfall under a Buddha, and a frog-goldfish pond,
all hidden from view up a nearly mile-long road. Drink
in the sunset behind the 100 mile, 180-degree Western
view of the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley.
Masterly-crafted stone walls surround the ponds and
border walkway.
Mountain Home Studio is a 1,000-sq. ft. clean, beautiful
space above the garage, across the driveway from the
main house. It’s perfect for an artist or a small
family. The studio has a king bed at one end and a full
bed at the other. A canvass-and-wood-frame screen at the
end of the full bed offers some privacy. There’s a
bathroom with a shower; free WIFI; a kitchenette with a
microwave, a toaster oven, a coffee grinder and coffee
pot, and an electric water boiler, plus dishes, cups,
utensils and a cutting board. There’s no kitchen stove
or sink, but you have use of the laundry room in the
main house, and a bay in the garage. There’s a small
deck overlooking a grove of hemlocks where the sun
rises. 1 or 2 house-trained dogs are welcome: there’s a
small fenced-in play area behind the studio if you don’t
feel like walking them on a leash, or they could play in
the yard with our two medium-size dogs. A trail in the
woods is a moderate hike that leads to a giant glacial
erratic boulder---the Magic Boulder. Mountain Home
Studio is just over the border from the Berkshires: 15
minutes to Tanglewood, and 20 minutes each to Lenox,
Great Barrington and Pittsfield. We are 14 minutes to
Chatham, NY, which is also a wonderful destination in
Columbia County in the Hudson Valley.
