Ridge View Ranch. Sky Top Tower. Bonticou Crag. Approximately 12 acres. This is not your typical New Paltz property. Set beneath one of the Hudson Valley's most recognizable ridge lines, Ridge View Ranch is the kind of place that immediately feels different. Open land, established equestrian infrastructure, multiple buildings, flexible living space and a horizon framed by two local landmarks give this property a presence that is hard to replicate. The grounds are already equipped for horses, with stables, barns, paddocks and a horse run woven into the landscape. Whether the next chapter includes horses, hobby farming, gardens, workshops or simply more room to breathe, the foundation is already here. Attached to the stable is a legal accessory apartment, adding a level of versatility rarely found on a property like this. Guest quarters, extended living, caretaker space, a private studio or home office-the possibilities extend well beyond the main house. And then there is the view. Sky Top Tower and Bonticou Crag stretch across the horizon, creating a backdrop that changes with the seasons but never loses its impact. Morning light, summer greens, fall color, winter snow-the ridge is always there. The ranch-style main residence is ready for someone with vision. Update it, reimagine it, make it your own. The hard part is already in place: nearly 12 acres, established infrastructure, usable outbuildings, multiple living spaces and a setting that cannot be manufactured. Ridge View Ranch is not polished suburbia, and it is not trying to be. It is authentic Hudson Valley living. Open, rugged, useful, beautiful and full of possibility. Close to the heart of New Paltz. Far from ordinary.
