Step through the bold entry door of Hawksview, a bespoke Gardiner homestead crafted from an antique Pennsylvania barn. Framed by glass, this unique entrance immediately bridges the warmth of the interior with the lush, landscaped gardens outside. Tucked into over 20 acres of rolling meadows and forest, the home welcomes you with a curated transition from the winding driveway to the peaceful sanctuary within.
A welcome that connects you to nature
Warmth and history in every detail
The inviting foyer showcases the home's rich heritage, where hardwood floors meet exposed wooden beams and framing salvaged from the original antique barn. A white entry door with glass panes draws natural light into the space, highlighting the crisp white horizontal shiplap walls. The wooden staircase ascends to the upper level, establishing a clean architectural contrast that defines the home's thoughtful craftsmanship.
Gather by the warmth of local stone
Timber and stone anchor this dramatic open-concept gathering space. A massive double-sided fireplace, custom-built using local conglomerate stone from the Shawangunk Ridge, commands attention and separates the living area from the kitchen. Triple windows and French doors flood the room with natural light, framing views of the surrounding acreage while offering a seamless flow perfect for daily living.
The double-sided stone fireplace brings architectural warmth to this inviting dining space, where hardwood floors and exposed timber framing continue the home's rustic narrative. Large glass French doors open directly onto the outdoor patio, making it easy to transition from indoor dining to open-air gatherings while enjoying views of the meadows.
Share meals bathed in natural light
Built for those who love to cook, this kitchen features custom cabinetry and a rustic island crafted from antique barn beams, topped with durable concrete. Modern stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and hood, integrate seamlessly into the space. A triple window frames peaceful views of grassy fields and mature trees, while a walk-in pantry with built-in shelving provides excellent storage.
A kitchen crafted from the land
Rest easy among the treetops
These spacious bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat beneath a wood-clad beamed ceiling. Exposed beam architecture pairs with warm wood paneling and rich hardwood floors to create supreme coziness. Multiple large windows flood the rooms with natural light and frame views of the surrounding forest.
Thoughtfully designed bathrooms combine exposed wooden beams with natural materials. The primary bath features a built-in soaking tub and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, both wrapped in coordinating gray tile, alongside a double vanity with quartz countertops. A charming powder room off the main living area features a pedestal sink, while tree-framed windows bring natural light into each space.
A private sanctuary to unwind
Versatile space for work or play
The finished walk-out basement offers excellent flexibility for extra guests, a recreation room, or a home theater. Multiple windows draw in generous natural light, and a glass door opens directly to the outside on the pond side of the home. Clean, paneled detailing adds a polished finish to this functional lower level.
Located in the finished basement, this dedicated home gym provides a private space for fitness. Exposed wooden support posts bring the home's signature structural character downstairs, grounding the room with an organic touch. This purposeful layout keeps your workouts focused and self-contained away from the main living areas.
Dedicated space for your wellness routine
The generous covered front porch on the north side of the home is designed for relaxing in the shade. Exposed wooden columns and horizontal wood siding frame sweeping views of the manicured lawn, sculpted garden beds, and mature trees. From here, a stone-paved pathway winds through the landscaping toward the deep swimming pond and forest beyond.
Escape the summer heat in comfort
Starry nights and ridge views
The southern stone patio is built for outdoor living, featuring a custom-built stone fire pit and a circular hot tub perfect for evening stargazing. Curved stone retaining walls frame the patio, offering a front-row seat to spectacular sunset views over the Shawangunk Ridge, with open grassy fields and forested horizons completing this peaceful homestead.
