5 Downer Lane

Set on six bucolic acres along one of Woodstock's most scenic country roads, this extraordinary barn residence captures sweeping views of Overlook Mountain, the timeless beauty of the Hudson Valley landscape, and the charm of a true farm setting. Reimagined from a historic 19th-century barn that was carefully disassembled and relocated from farther north, the home is a remarkable example of craftsmanship, creativity, and preservation.

Following the tradition of Woodstock's celebrated handmade houses, the interiors were assembled from many years of collecting salvaged architectural elements, reclaimed materials, and one-of-a-kind finds. Every room tells its own story through richly layered textures, hand-hewn timbers, antique details, stained glass, and thoughtfully curated finishes that create an atmosphere unlike any other.

This grand residence offers expansive living spaces anchored by soaring timber-frame construction and warm gathering areas both inside and out. The setting is equally compelling, with open meadows, mature trees, mountain views, and ample space to embrace a country lifestyle. The property offers the flexibility to accommodate farm animals, making it ideal for those seeking a small hobby farm, equestrian pursuits, or simply a deeper connection to the land.

The barn house feels as though it has stood here forever. A heated pool, sauna, gym, generous entertaining spaces, and proximity to Woodstock's beloved swimming holes create an exceptional retreat that is both luxurious and authentic. Equally appealing, the property has a proven track record as a successful short-term rental, offering an attractive opportunity for income generation while enjoying one of Woodstock's most distinctive and memorable homes. More than a residence, it is a work of art--an authentic expression of Woodstock's creative spirit and enduring connection to the land.
