In Ulster County, this Highland home capitalizes on all the features of the area that make the Hudson Valley a stunning region. From sweeping views and forests to winding stone walls and streams, Plutarch Lodge is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. The gated compound set on 41.6 acres just hit the market for $3.85 million with listing agent Kate Quintard and co-listing agent Jason Nadeau of the Upstate Curious Team at Compass.
With a main lodge, guest house, detached two-car garage, and amazing sunset vista, Plutarch Lodge has all the makings of a sanctuary. A gated driveway lined with mature evergreens greets visitors to the artisan-crafted, one-of-a-kind property, while a setting of natural forests and serene streams and ponds adds to the ambiance.
At the heart of the property, the main lodge offers luxury and rustic charm, with 20-foot vaulted ceilings, pine hardwood floors, a wall of windows displaying breathtaking views, a bluestone fireplace, and a wraparound wood deck that’s perfect for relaxing. In the chef’s kitchen, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances are ideal for gatherings and holiday meals, while the lower level of the home is particularly designed for entertaining, complete with a theater room and custom billiard table.
Also on the lower level, the primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet, an en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub, and deck access. Moving upstairs, a loft for reading or morning yoga, a junior suite, two guest rooms, and a full bath offer additional comfort in the 7,272-square-foot home.
Moving outside to the guest house, a beautiful blend of natural stone and wood provides a seamless connection to the main lodge. Designed by renowned architect Kurt Sutherland, the additional living space includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and stunning hardwood floors. Also outside, a detached double-car garage is the perfect storage space.
As for the grounds, it’s hard to beat Plutarch Lodge’s whopping 41.6 acres of outdoor property. Visitors and residents are invited to explore the sprawling grounds to take in panoramic views, brilliant water features like streams and ponds, and marvelously constructed winding stone walls. Less than 20 minutes from Ulster County hotspots like Kingston, New Paltz, and High Falls, this Highland home provides prime access to landmarks like the Shawangunk Mountains, Hudson River, and nearby rail trails.
