REDUCED  To SELL   many extras, and great closet space.  We are not a "depressed"  sale and will wait for the right buyer as we will be neighbors some day. We would just like to downsize to a smaller home and less property. A New extended  black-top driveway was added this year, August 11th.  New hardwood in the living room and dining room was completed in Sept. and the kitchen floors and stairway have been sanded and refinished.

This house has 5 bedrooms  with great closet space.(- 2 on the 1st floor and 3 on the second) , 2 full baths, a large country eat-in kitchen  with a walk in pantry and a open floor plan in the living room/dining room. It has a large screen room off the kitchen.
It has 2-50' barns, one with 2 garage doors(one 9'high)and 2 areas for 2 horse stalls if you have animals or great for boat storage, car or RV storage or if you're thinking of a home business that needs lots of storage. Both barns had new roofs in 1996 and the bigger barn was newly sided in the fall of 2007. The long low barn had new doors installed in the late fall of 2011. There is a third out building across from the house that is a finished with 400 square feet. It is insulated and heated with a 1/2 bath, closet, counter top and window AC unit. It would be great for a home office, workshop, home gym or future rental with the addition of a shower. The property is in a agricultural zone.
Total taxes are(8256. That is school $5500(9/ 2011) and land $2756 (1/2012) . This property is 3.85 acres with a STREAM that runs along the back and through one corner. A new lowered, larger culvert was installed by the county in 2010, which greatly reduced the water table that rose in 2005 because they put the wrong culvert in at the road side of the property. I assume that this will make the corner wooded part of the property worth clearing in the near furture for more space if needed for animals or winter views of the mountains. The wooded section is across from Anderson Road. It's about 3/4 acre or so. There is a small pond, that would  be very picturesque if a  fountain was added.  It would be great for 1-2 horses or raising ducks, catching frogs and bait fish or just enjoying the beauty of nature in this quiet neighborhood. There are perennial gardens around much of the house. It is a18-20 minute commute to the trains in Beacon.  Projects just completedin the last 5 years-All house 7K BACK-UP GENERATOR with an automatic switch over. Gas stove was  installed in October 2009. and a new refirgerator and microwave were purchased and installed in the late fall of 2011.  For information you may call (845) 883-6003 or 914 388 2810( Cell phone) and leave a message and a number and I will return your call. Address: 125 Orchard Drive, Gardiner, New York 12525   Pictures can not do this house justice. Includes all appliances except washer and dryer and extra  basement refrigerator.  You have got to see it.  It is lovely -it is just more than we need now that we don't have any kids and are now retired.  We love this area and will be building next door when we sell so you can trust that we will tell you everything you need to know as we want to make good friends with our new neighbors.  Cut down the trees down on the corner near Anderson road and have a view of the Shawangunks. This property is very close to Mohonk Mountain, Minnewaska State Park ( rock climbing), The Ranch - for sky diving, the rail trail, hiking, biking, camping, Close to Bethel Woods, Woodstock, NYCity, it is all here. This property  has the prestige of Gardiner, but because it is just over the border on the west side of 32 it has the advantage of lower taxes.  Another plus*  We had no damage from the recent hurricane.  Not too many people that had a stream in their back yards can make that claim after this bad  100 year storm. Live here and enjoy the prestige of  the Gardiner area but the lower taxes of the town of Plattikill because you are right on the border.
