1232 Old Ford CircleNew Paltz, NY 12561

*** OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 7/5 11-1pm *** Waterfront access in the Hudson Valley is limited. Finding it this close to the Village of New Paltz, at this price point, is even rarer. Inside, the home feels comfortable and grounded, with its living spaces oriented toward the river. A more intimate main living room on the first floor offers a cozy place to unwind, with windows that keep the water quietly in view. The layout is practical and flexible, with three bedrooms and two full baths, including a first-floor bedroom and bath. Just off that bath is a dedicated laundry room, a thoughtful upgrade that avoids the typical basement setup often found in homes of this era. Upstairs, a larger second living room with a full stone fireplace and elevated river views creates a distinctly different atmosphere from the main level. Whether used as an additional gathering space, home office, studio, or private retreat, it adds flexibility and character that is increasingly hard to find in homes at this price point. Step outside and the setting becomes the focal point. The property opens directly to the Wallkill River, with space to relax, launch a kayak, or simply spend time by the water's edge. The connection to the river gives the home a sense of calm and separation from the pace of everyday life. The location ties it all together. The Village, with its restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences, is just minutes away, while nearby trails and preserves complete the outdoor lifestyle. The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail is nearby and connects seamlessly to the River to Ridge Trail, leading from the Village into the Mohonk Preserve. It's possible to head out for a ride or walk from close to home, pass through town, and continue into protected land and miles of trails without needing a car. Whether used as a full-time residence or a weekend retreat, the balance of river access, views, location, and flexibility here is difficult to replicate at this price point. Properties this close to the Village with direct access to the Wallkill River rarely come to market. For buyers drawn to water, trails, and a quieter connection to the outdoors, the setting here offers something increasingly difficult to find near the Village. *** OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 7/5 11-1pm ***
