48 Keeler Road

Nestled along scenic Macedonia Brook Road after a drive through Macedonia State Park, this magical wood-and-stone cottage sits on nearly 40 private acres where Macedonia Brook meanders for more than 1,000 feet of frontage. Built in 1918 and offering 2,498 square feet across two thoughtfully designed floors, the home invites you to experience the soothing presence of a true babbling trout stream visible from multiple rooms and outdoor spaces. A wooden bridge crosses the water and opens onto trails that invite exploration of the surrounding woodland. Step through the mudroom into a generous kitchen defined by a Garland six-burner gas stove, lower country wood cabinetry, floating shelves, an appliance cabinet, beamed ceiling, and warm hardwood floors. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a massive dining room featuring a stone fireplace and a picture window framing views of the screened porch, creating an ideal backdrop for indoor meals or alfresco dining overlooking the verdant grounds and water. Through a swing door, the living room expands into an impressive gathering space with exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove insert. A door opens to a covered stone porch where a floating daybed lets you relax to the soothing sounds of the stream. A first-floor bedroom and full bath accessible from both the bedroom and hallway complete the main level. A rich wood split staircase with custom built-in shelving ascends to the second floor. Here a light-drenched primary bedroom offers its own primary bath featuring a clawfoot tub with shower, plus a private door that opens onto a large upper deck with sweeping views of the yard and brook. A second well-proportioned bedroom, a small flexible room ideal as an office or dressing space, and a full hall bath round out the upper level. The property is also available as a furnished, semi-furnished, or unfurnished rental, offering exceptional flexibility. Outdoors the nearly 40-acre property reveals its full character through a collection of outbuildings, a detached barn that serves as a two-car garage with ample parking in front, a fenced garden, stone pathways weaving around the home, and verdant grounds shaded by ancient trees. The setting is both secluded and convenient: Macedonia State Park lies only a few miles down the road for hiking, biking, and fishing, while the Appalachian Trail, Mohawk Mountain Ski Area, and Kent Falls State Park are close at hand. Kent's town center is just 7.5 miles away with its boutique shops, fine dining, casual eateries, and galleries. The Wassaic Metro-North station sits 7.3 miles across the New York border, placing Manhattan within a comfortable two-hour reach. Whether you approach via scenic Macedonia Road or the paved route along Skiff Mountain Road from Kent, the journey itself becomes part of the experience.
