Down the drive, and then the A.
A gravel drive bends off the road into the trees, and the house comes into view on its slope: dark siding, a steep metal roof, and a gable of glass facing the woods.

A deck in the trees.
The house sits on 2.32 wooded acres that fall away from the deck, so the deck hangs among the trees. A path laid in the same stone as the fireplace runs from the deck back to the drive.


Four sides of stone, picked by hand.
The fireplace rises floor to ceiling through the middle of the house: four-sided, in the ridge’s own Shawangunk conglomerate, stone about 420 million years old, every piece picked by hand from a quarry a few miles off. The best pieces went to the corners, the lintel and the hearth.
Across from it, a wall of windows runs to the peak of the roof, and the light changes with the hour.

Small, and finished like it isn’t.
About 1,300 square feet over two floors, with a bedroom and a full bath on each. The kitchen has a Wolf gas range and a paneled refrigerator, finished to a standard you’d expect in a much bigger house.
Upstairs, a landing under the pitch of the roof looks out through the tall windows.
Designed by its owner, Devin Schneider. Fireplace built by Preston Manganaro.

Three minutes to the trails. A fire for when you get back.
Gardiner, at the foot of the Gunks.
The house sits below the Shawangunk Ridge, the white cliffs climbers come from all over to reach. The Minnewaska trails start three minutes away, Gertrude’s Nose among them, and Mohonk Preserve runs along the same ridge to the north.
The photographs cover the house well. The stone you have to touch.
