890 Lapla Road

It all starts with the driveway. As you make your way back into the 22 acres, the world begins to fade away. Privately sited among rock outcroppings and oak trees, the house is drenched in sunlight. The light follows you inside to a warm and welcoming interior. The living room boasts cathedral ceilings, grounded by a floor-to-ceiling native stone fireplace, with access to the deck for summer barbecues beneath the stars and unforgettable sunsets. The dining room invites gatherings, game nights, or quiet evenings at home. In winter, the back of the fireplace radiates warmth; in summer, it absorbs the glow of the evening sun. The kitchen features a center island, granite countertops, and a lovely sitting area beside large picture windows. It is an ideal nook for a first morning coffee, a good book, or simply listening to the birds. The primary bedroom suite offers a large walk-in closet, a Jacuzzi tub with mountain views, and a screened-in porch--perfect for sunset yoga, meditation, or simply slowing down at the end of the day. Now to the property itself. Some of it still feels undiscovered. The owners have created trails for biking, running, or leisurely walks through the woods. Sunlight filters through the trees in a way that feels almost enchanted, and with abundant wood on the property, you may never run out of firewood. Below the back deck is an ideal location for a garden. There is also room for a pool, though for now you may simply enjoy the quiet, the privacy, and the expansive outdoor space with nearly limitless possibilities. House upgrades include hardwood flooring throughout, a Jøtul fireplace with a new stainless steel chimney pipe, a water softener and reverse osmosis drinking water system, central vacuum, three ductless heat pumps for heating and cooling, new front and rear decks with water-resistant treatment completed in 2026, bathroom upgrades, window films, new garage door openers, and additional outdoor parking space. Additional features include a septic tank cleaned in 2021, approximately three full cords of firewood included, cable internet readiness, a new dishwasher and wine cooler, three heat sources (oil furnace, fireplace, and heat pumps), and four heating zones--two on the main floor and two in the basement. Close to Woodstock, Kingston, the Ashokan Reservoir and the Ashokan Rail Trail.
