A one-of-a-kind, hand-built home has arrived on the market in charming Barryville, NY, with spectacular views of the Delaware River and the Poconos from its high Catskills vantage point. Affectionately known as "The Hippie House," 129 Hallock Road in Barryville, NY, is a boho chic cottage-style home with a separate artist's workshop/studio, surrounded by 13 acres of wooded land, blue skies, endless south-facing views with all-day sun and cool breezes that remind you how private and peaceful life can be.
Lovingly built from the ground up (including a winding hillside driveway off Hallock Road) in 2010, The Hippie House is more than a home, but a vision created by artisans who value privacy and beauty along with a deep appreciation for the arts, crafts, and quality. Situated on a flat, cleared hilltop on 13 acres, The Hippie House has parking for many cars between the home and studio, along with a fire pit and outdoor lounge.
The 355 sq ft artist's workshop/studio is glassed on four sides for light and summer ventilation, but also houses a wood stove for cooler months and is finished with hand-hewn pine siding.
The craftsmanship continues in the 1,195 sq ft custom-built, three-level log cabin, built in a cottage style with a pitched roof and glassed on four sides. Enter the foyer and you will immediately feel the light and spaciousness that is central to this home. To the right is a pantry and to the left, a large corner bedroom with high ceilings, a ceiling fan, closet, and a full Jack-and-Jill bath for the living room.
Between the entry and the living room is the spacious yet adorable open-concept kitchen, finished with custom cabinetry in a beautiful wood tone, full-sized stainless steel appliances, a window overlooking wildlife, and a copper sink whose patina blends perfectly with the cabinetry and open shelving, evoking a feel of Mendocino, Malibu, or Maine. But the highlight is the 20-foot-high living/dining room with its wall of windows to the Delaware River and Pocono Mountains and the four seasons of wonder they provide.
The living room centers around a large stone fireplace that easily heats the lower level of the home. Huge glass doors lead out to the wood deck, bringing the outside in and where you will have a front-row seat to swaying pines, bees, butterflies, hawks, and eagles in flight and no sound but the wind in the trees.
The upper level is an open loft separated by an Adirondack staircase into two equal rooms that can be used as bedrooms, offices, sitting rooms, or libraries overlooking the hills. There is also a charming powder room (easily convertible to full) with a view out an octagonal window. Below the main room is a fully finished basement that opens up a world of possibilities including the addition of another bedroom or family room, plus a huge storage and mechanical space that is currently housed.
The basement opens with glass doors to another flat area that begs to be finished as a wood deck with a built-in hot tub.
Privacy, serenity, beauty, and handmade craftsmanship:
129 Hallock Road is a truly special place and one that must be seen to be believed. It won't last.
