Wake to hoofprints in the dew and the sound of morning sparrows. Step onto your porch, breathe in pine and fresh-cut pasture, and feel your shoulders drop as your horses lift their heads. This five-acre, picture-perfect farm in Pine Bush invites you to live the life you’ve been rehearsing in your head—quiet road, wide sky, and everything set up so you can ride more and worry less.

Follow the maintenance-free RAMM fencing as it frames lush, weed-free pasture that stays green and forgiving underfoot. Walk the line where the land meets mature woods, pause at the small stream in the back corner, and notice how the property naturally organizes your days: graze, ride, rinse, repeat. The 30' x 32' clear-span barn is ready to become your program. Imagine your ideal flow—stalls, tack, grain, hay, wash area—then make it real. When your space works this well, your horses settle, and so do you.

Now future-pace a weekend ride. You hook up the trailer, the door clicks shut, and in about twenty minutes you’re unwrapping a whole new world of trails:

Highland Lakes State Park (Palisades Parks Commission), Scotchtown

Stewart State Forest / Stewart Airport Buffer Lands, Newburgh

Minnewaska State Park Preserve, Gardiner—carriage roads, waterfalls, and Shawangunk Ridge views you keep thinking about long after you’re home

Bring your horses. Keep them here legally—zoning allows up to four—so you can redirect typical boarding costs (often around $450–$500 per horse, per month) into your own land, your own barn, your own rhythm. Feel what that choice does to your calendar and your cash flow.

Inside, life stays easy and sunlit. The ranch home offers three bedrooms and 1.5 baths on one level, with windows that look out across your fields so you’re always connected to what matters. A full walk-out basement expands your options: mudroom for boots, chest freezer for feed, gym, workshop, or a snug office. The attached one-car garage keeps daily life practical and uncluttered.

Prefer a lighter touch? Shape this into a simple hobby farm: raised beds, berry rows, apple saplings, a little greenhouse by the barn. Or lean into a classic gentleman’s farm with tidy paddocks, a cut-flower strip along the fence, and weekend friends trailering in to ride. Either way, the land supports the life you choose.

Location is the quiet advantage. You’re in Ulster County with quick access to New Paltz, Gardiner, wineries and cideries along the Shawangunks, farm markets, and year-round Hudson Valley events. NYC is roughly 75–90 minutes away, so city days are doable and guests come often. Then they exhale, like you do.
