Blue Springs; secluded paradise bordering Minnewaska State Park | House in Accord
3 Bedroom House in Accord
A long private driveway takes you to an elegantly restored, period colonial with modern amenities like geo thermal central air. The secluded property has a crystal clear stream running through it and has been likened to a mini adventure resort that can be enjoyed by hikers, adventurers and meditators. It was named after the springs that feed the crystal clear stream and swimming pool. Imagine hiking for an entire morning without crossing a road, hearing a car or seeing a soul, past turquoise swimming holes, waterfalls, 250 foot white granite cliffs, a small lake, deep gorges and ancient dwarf pitch pine forests. Then returning to lunch at a blue stone terraced Japanese fern garden with fountain pools and small waterfalls and spending the afternoon swimming and relaxing at a 50 X 30 foot, chemical free, swimming pool with a mill stone fountain. An elegant, simple yet grand, private getaway two hours from Manhattan.
NOTE: Eric, who personally built many of the hiking trails is available to lead an optional hike. Eric and Troy live in a converted barn on the property.
