2 Durmo Road

At the foot of the Shawangunk Ridge, this private, wooded sanctuary sits atop a peaceful knoll and borders Mohonk Preserve, offering an exceptional connection to one of the Hudson Valley's most treasured natural landscapes. From the property, enjoy a peek of ''High Exposure,'' the most iconic rock climb on the Shawangunk Cliffs. Just minutes from premier hiking and biking at Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park, the sun-filled home welcomes you with expansive Andersen windows and a cozy wood-burning fireplace--perfect for gathering around the hearth on crisp fall and winter evenings. French doors off the living room lead to a serene patio where one can sit and gaze at the wooded vista where mature oak, maple and magnolia trees surround the property. The beautifully updated kitchen, completed in 2024, features bright white cabinetry, new countertops, and an adjoining dining/sitting area that opens to a dramatic screened porch and outdoor deck--an idyllic spot for morning coffee, afternoon lounging, or al fresco entertaining. A more formal dining room, perfect for family dinners, connects to a versatile room that can function as a den, family room, or home office. A convenient half bath and laundry room are located just off the entry to the oversized two-car garage, which features impressive two-story ceiling height. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms include an oversized primary suite with a jacuzzi tub and private balcony--a tranquil perch for watching eagles soar above the ridge. The full, unfinished basement, with 8-foot ceilings, offers abundant potential for recreation, a home gym, studio, or additional living space, along with a convenient second entry to the two-car garage. Outside, stroll to the sign marking your private walking trail, which meanders down the hillside through fern-lined fields dotted with wild mushrooms before ending at the road. With the property bordering Mohonk Preserve, outdoor adventure is truly at your doorstep. Explore miles of hiking and biking trails and immerse yourself in the remarkable beauty of the Shawangunk Ridge. And just half a mile up the road, the beloved Mountain Brauhaus adds a lively neighborhood touch, serving up schnitzel, burgers, Bavarian pretzels, and other local favorites. This house offers the quintessential Shawangunk lifestyle, surrounded by hiking trails, privacy, and the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley.
