This approximately 4000 sq ft Woodstock complex offers a multitude of living options, including the consideration of a monthly income via the several rental opportunities. Almost in the heart of town, it is zoned as a legal three family residence. Originally a spiritual retreat and gathering spot, the past several owners have lived in the main section of the home and had both extended family and friends living in the two creatively designed attached guest quarters. The primary living area has a two story great room with skylights and seems to be an even larger and more dramatic room. There are two attached guest/income apartments. Additionally, there is also a detached, private one bedroom poolhouse/studio building or guest quarters sited separately from the large primary structure. The saline pool, so glorious from the spring into mid-fall, is designed discretely into the center of the compound and is surrounded by mature landscaping- offering almost total privacy from the house with peal a boo sapphire blue glimps of the water from the great room. Summer evenings, or rainy warm days are enjoyed from a screen porch for conversation, reading and drinks or dining. Optionally, there is also a small deck which has access from two sections of the main structure. What a location! It's across from the pastoral Woodstock Country Club golf course- some people may stroll to town, or easily head up Ratterman and around the hillside for quiet neighborhood meditations, something valued by almost everyone even more after their covid experiences. Fencing along Ratterman adds substancially to the privacy of the entire property.
