Follow the trail. Find the river. Imagine calling this home. Set on 15.75 serene acres in Leyden, this distinctive contemporary offers a setting that invites exploration and a slower pace. Thorne’s Brook winds through the property, a man-made pond rests below the deck, and a trail marked by blue dots lead you from the backyard through nature to the Green River—a beautiful destination for warm summer afternoons, quiet reflection, and time with friends. Inside, soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and an open loft create an airy living space with rustic warmth. Sunlight pours through tall windows, while a wood stove anchors the living room for cozy days as the seasons change. The kitchen opens to the living area, and deck access makes it easy to take your coffee or dinner outdoors overlooking the pond and surrounding landscape. A bedroom and bathroom complete the main level. The walkout lower level offers a workshop area, laundry room/bathroom with a stand-up shower, and a heated bonus space with sliding-door access to the yard. For another kind of escape, take the trail and you will find a small cabin along the way with electricity, three-season water, a wood stove and a nearby outhouse offering a woodsy spot for spring-through-fall camping. Apple and pear trees, raspberry bushes, and Concord grapes bring seasonal rewards, while the acreage provides room to wander and discover your favorite place to unwind. The home needs a new owners personal touch, but its character and extraordinary surroundings offer an inspiring starting point. Bring your ideas, embrace the setting, and create your own retreat. Enjoy the property as it is or explore possibilities for further development, subject to buyer due diligence and applicable approvals. Come for the house, stay for everything beyond its doors!
