12 Mountain Brook Road , Cornwall, NY 12518(Orange County)

Imagine standing at your windows of this custom Deck House built to take full advantage of its astonishing mountaintop location and breathtaking views from every angle. The Hudson River glistens in the distance, spanned far away by the Newburg Beacon Bridge. Clustered deep below is the village of Cornwall with verdant hills climbing toward the Shinnecock Mountains beyond. Past the office building, along a winding trail on the additional 10.9 acre grounds, from another perspective, are vistas to Storm King Mountain Center and the Moodna Trestle. The very air you breathe speaks to history and nature in one spectacular package. At one with its glorious surroundings, this warm, welcoming home is the retreat from the pressures of contemporary existence, an escape in total comfort to a world of which dreams are made. Post and beam construction with authentic materials create a masterpiece of thoughtful design. Dramatic, not staid, it will long endure, proudly astride its mountain top aerie.

This very special house is sited on 4.1 acres with an additional and contiguous 10.9 acres included. Enter through the private gates, past the landscaped grounds up to the circular drive, three car garage, expansive home and superb studio building. The home is modeled after California DECK houses and is perfect for the site, being integral to it while taking full advantage of the truly remarkable views. The entry portico and deck are framed by wonderful plantings reminiscent of an Asian setting. So much is about the view inside and out. The multi-level deck off the living and dining room invites the outdoors in and the resistance lap pool, sauna/steam room areas are available for water recreation year 'round. Finished room totals include those in the studio and the lower level recreation area with additional square footage. There is much to be seen and explored.
