Property Description
''High Camp'' is an oasis in the hamlet of West Camp, located 3 miles north of Saugerties Village. It was settled by British Queen Anne in 1710 who transported German Palatines and their families to the site in order to cut timber to supply naval stores for the British fleet. Many of their descendants still reside in the area today. Wend down this country road to a private tree-lined cul-de-sac originally constructed in 1969 by the Patterson family. Here, you'll discover ''High Camp House'', one of the last examples of Lincoln Log craft homes. It was enlarged and enhanced with locally cut granite and limestone and features extensive walkways, multiple stone terraces, stone walls, and dual stone staircases leading down to a meadow plateau and an extraordinary connection to the Hudson River. Perched high above it—up a river slope that is densely and lovingly planted by the owners over the past 26 years with daffodils, peonies, and lilies—is this 2.3 acre parcel. There's plenty of room for a small barn for horses (HIITS is just around the corner) or goats, for gardening, or a place to play and frolic. The East terrace has a spectacular 20 mile, unobstructed, panoramic Hudson River view opposite the northernmost Livingston mansion. Right by the river is a giant lone pine tree where is often perched a bald eagle that feeds and soars above the river throughout the year. Surrounded by blue stone patios, you'll feel totally in sync with the flow of nature in almost every room. The screened porch offers this exquisite vista rain or shine. Whether dining inside or out, even beside the blue stone fireplace, this view presents itself as a character in your story. The first floor has a generous flow between a simple country kitchen and an open dining area. There's a first floor office, which the owners are currently using as a 3rd bedroom (the town considers this a 2 bedroom home) with a huge picture window and an adorable balcony that affords yet another chance to take in the mighty Hudson. Step into the living room and let this Lincoln Log home carry you back to worry free times; a gathering place for cold winter nights (apres ski) or a place to read poetry and laugh with friends and family. There's a full bath and stairs up to 2 vaulted bedrooms. This upper level could easily be expanded to include another bath and could be dormered for additional views. This classic 1968 log home sits on rare river frontage and is ready to enjoy. Or, this parcel might beckon you to add on, tweak, or make changes to enhance it. Come with your desire to live on the river and with your creativity and dreams! A pleasure to see and show.
