There is no doubt that Copake Falls, NY is a sweet spot for the Upstate, located near the wild and wonderful New York and Massachusetts border and situated in the heart of the Bash Bish watershed in the Taconic range of mountains. This turn-key cottage enjoys the deepest level of privacy, reached through a private road that traverses uphill into some local altitude and coupled with seasonal views of ridge lines for which the area is famed. This Miller Brook Lane house features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with the option to add another bath in the daylight finished basement with the plumbing already in place. The open floorpan upstairs is friendly to a dinner party with room for a dining table and a wood burning fireplace enhanced by a covered porch to extend the entertainment. Pick dinner sides from your raised garden and grill out of doors in complete serenity, high above the valley below. Take advantage of the cedar log construction; not only do these homes blend nicely with upstate forest scenery, the construction offers great natural insulation against cold winters, high resistance to rot and insects in humid areas, a pleasant wood scent, and a stable structure that settles well. Copake Falls is super convenient to both Hillsdale, NY, with its diners and breweries and groceries or head into Great Barrington for sushi and shopping at nearby Guidos grocery.
