A modern log cabin in Kingston, NY, where you can commune with nature—and history, for $520,000
This four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath house has views of the Hudson Valley.
Kingston is a city in Ulster County, New York, bordered by the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson Valley Region. Settled by the Dutch in 1652 and the one-time capital of New York, Kingston has become a haven of sorts for artists and other creative types in search of cheaper real estate and picturesque vistas for inspiration.
Now, Kingston straddles both worlds. Visitors can enjoy historic landmarks like the colonial Senate House and the Hudson River Maritime Museum, or take a ride on the Catskill Mountain Railroad, a vintage train that travels along five miles of track that once serviced the New York Central Railroad. Meanwhile, Kingston offers up some excellent dining and nightlife, like farm-to-table eatery Wilde Beest, and cocktail spot Stockade Tavern. Kingston is also a quick drive to Woodstock, New York, as well as to New Paltz.
If any of that sounds appealing to you, consider this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath log cabin at 251 East Ridge Dr., now on the market for $520,000.
