Property Description

Tucked along the banks of the Wallkill River, 315 Forest Glen Extension is a rare gem. An updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage that offers a peaceful lifestyle rich in natural beauty, year-round recreation, and modern convenience. Set on two private acres with Shawangunk Ridge views (including the iconic Mohonk Tower), this 1000 sq. ft. home lives much larger, blending cozy charm with thoughtful upgrades and unforgettable scenery. Wake up to deer and wild turkeys strolling past your window, sip your morning coffee as bald eagles soar overhead, and end your day kayaking down the river or toasting sunset cocktails with friends around the fire pit. A large deck overlooks the water, where fireflies light up the woods in summer and the river reflects golden fall leaves. Come winter, a wood-burning stove makes for the perfect fireside reading nook after a snowy hike in the Gunks. A cozy home office makes working remotely a breeze. Originally built in 1940 but effectively rebuilt in 2000, and then major renovations in 2012, the home has been fully raised and reconstructed to FEMA specifications, complete with a Flood Elevation Certificate providing peace of mind and protection. With its elevated design and wrap around deck, the property offers direct water access and serene river views. Major upgrades include a red metal roof, Hardy Board type exterior, new windows, a stylishly updated kitchen and bath, and a highly efficient electric heat pump system with ductless A/C and heating. A Bosch on-demand water heater and whole-house Generac generator ensure comfort and reliability in every season. An outbuilding with metal roof, heat pump providing heat and A/C, and a sleeping loft offers flexible guest space, an artist studio, or the perfect work-from-nature setup. The setting feels tucked away, neighboring one close property with a privacy fence in place. Yet it's conveniently located just minutes to both New Paltz and Gardiner. Whether you're dreaming of weekend escapes, full-time living, or an income-producing short-term rental, this riverside cottage is perfectly positioned for all three. With strong Airbnb potential and a setting that offers four-season appeal, it's a smart investment in both lifestyle and value. Come for the views, stay for the magic, this is Hudson Valley living at its most authentic.
