TRANQUIL WEEKEND OASIS. MAGICAL PRIMARY RESIDENCE. HISTORIC ARTISTS’ RETREAT.
Tucked away on an enchanting 1.2-acre plot atop the scenic Shawangunk Mountains, this
charming 2-story single-family property offers an intriguing blend of history, privacy, and
natural beauty. ARRIVAL: About 1.5 hours from Manhattan, 366 Vista Maria Road is
thoughtfully set back from the road and concealed by natural foliage. Lush gardens, a hill of
ferns and foxglove, mature shade trees, and a variety of flowering bushes frame an alluring 3-
bedroom, 1 bathroom house that was built at the turn of the 20 the century by local
craftsman Bert Goldsmith and is now listed on the historic register. Within, beautifully restored
and tastefully modernized interiors spanning 1,293 square feet await. FIRST FLOOR: A practical
mudroom flows into a windowed kitchen featuring a farmhouse sink, sleek stone countertops,
and premium stainless-steel appliances. In the formal dining room, natural light pours through a
captivating bay window, while an inviting living room opens to an enclosed three-season porch
with relaxing landscape views. Rustic hardwood floors run throughout. SECOND FLOOR:
Windowed stairs lead to three quiet bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. A shed provides
convenient storage for garden equipment and bicycles, while a full-house generator provides
year-round comfort and peace of mind. PRIVATE YET ACCESSIBLE: Cragsmoor is a secluded
hamlet with a storied artistic legacy. Once home to notable artists like Charles Curran, George
Inness Jr., and E.L. Henry, the area remains known for its stunning vistas, creative spirit, and
enduring sense of community. Nearby are the 5000-acre Sam Point Preserve and the smaller
Bear Hill Preserve. Cute farmstands, lovely farm-to-table eateries and cafes, and convenient
grocery stores are all less than 20 minutes away by car. Outdoor activities abound, including
secluded fishing spots, Storm King Art Center, and miles of hiking and biking trails.
