This elegant Mid-Century Modern / Arts& Crafts style country home is set in a remote NY City Watershed Protection Lands. The house uses wide T&G cedar boards for the walls and native bluestone shale for the floors together with hardwood floors. The dining and living rooms have cathedral ceilings with large exposed timber beams. The creative floorplan of the dining room is a partial circle surrounded by windows and a cathedral ceiling using a dozen timbers creating a conical shape joining the full height fieldstone Kachelofen style fireplace. There is a sun filled three season Florida room with windows on three sides and sky-lites beside the living room, which can be used in the winter with supplemental heaters. Downstairs is a large family room with woodstove inset into a fieldstone enclosure, a complete service kitchen, a wet bar, laundry area, and a full bathroom with shower. There is a 2 garage below the house entering to this lower level family room. Three large wooden decks nearly surround the house and a flagstone patio is behind with a stone hearth and inset Lazyman BBQ and FeastMaster smoking oven which use propane. Behind the house is over 6 acres of pasture with a 6 horse-stall barn, each stall with an outside door, ready for your herd of horses, with three car garage with concrete slab floor and 100 amp electric service.

Two larger parcels can be created on the east side of Sheepskin Rd with about 35 acres around the house & barn, and the larger east side parcel would be about38 acres and has a hilltop at 1940 feet elevation affording expansive views of the Hunter Mountain area along the Schoharie Creek valley.
