106 Mettacahonts Road

Mornings here begin with mountain light over open fields; evenings settle around the fire with the sound of Rochester Creek nearby. Set on 14 private acres, this beautifully reimagined country home looks across the open pastures of a neighboring working horse farm to the Shawangunk Mountains beyond. It is a place for long dinners on the deck, walks through the woods, and the rare luxury of feeling removed without giving up thoughtful, everyday comfort. Designed by Studio MM Architects, the major renovation over the past three years brought a refined new life to the home. At its center is a custom kitchen made for both serious cooking and easy gathering, with an oversized island, five-burner range, Thermador appliances, concealed full-size refrigerator/freezer and wine refrigerator, and a ceiling-mounted exhaust system that keeps the room feeling open. A double-sided fireplace connects the living room to the main-level primary suite, where a fully renovated bath offers a freestanding soaking tub, oversized rain shower, and double vanity. A second generously sized main-level bedroom provides flexibility for guests or extended family. Upstairs, two large bedrooms include built-in closet systems and attached storage rooms. The light-filled walkout basement is set up as a dedicated gym, with mirrored walls and a three-person Clearlight infrared sauna, along with a full bath, laundry, and generous storage. It also leads directly to the two-car garage, equipped with a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 EV charger and additional room for a third vehicle. A new wood two-car carport and woodshed extend the practical side of country living. The visible spaces are only part of the story. All bathrooms were redone, while new windows, LP siding, a new roof, garage doors, recessed lighting, radiant heat on the main level, forced-air heating and cooling, a Rinnai water heater, and upgraded water treatment speak to the care given to the home as a whole. Outside, the full-width deck turns toward the Shawangunk Mountains. Just beyond the home, a beautifully hardscaped fire-pit area creates an inviting outdoor living space overlooking the grounds and mountains. A second fire pit sits along a rock wall at the top of the trail. Trails wind through the property to several hundred feet of frontage on Rochester Creek, where brown and rainbow trout and yellow perch can be found. A new chicken coop and run await their first use. For dinner and live music, Westwind Orchard and Arrowood Farm-Brewery are a short stroll away. A newly installed owned solar system, paired with a new roof, includes 36 REC 460-watt panels with Enphase microinverters and is projected to produce approximately 18,000 kWh annually. This is not simply a renovated house on acreage. It is a carefully considered place to live close to the land, with the work already done and the best parts of country life waiting outside the door. An additional adjacent 4-acre buildable parcel is also available and will be offered to the buyer prior to being brought to market.
