8 Tannery Brook Road, Woodstock, NY, 12498
Large shade trees filter dappled sunlight across this property's private waterside picnic and meditation area, where the ancient rock wall of the streambed tells the story of millennia, worn smooth by the eternal passage of water. Positioned just steps from the vibrant rhythm of Tinker Street and the creative heartbeat of Woodstock, this nearly 2,500-square-foot mixed-use property is more than a home or an investment — it’s an experience. With Hamlet Commercial zoning, three distinct enclosed spaces, and flexible layouts, the possibilities span from live/work retreat to boutique inn to entirely new ventures imagined by its next owner.
At the center of it all is the Tannery Brook Waterfall, a dazzling in-town oasis that flows through daily life here. The rushing water sounds constant and soothing, carrying through open windows, drifting across private decks, and animating the shady riverside lawn. Step outside to picnic seating at the water’s edge, or watch from indoors as sunlight sparkles on the cascade through oversized UV-protected picture windows. Few properties allow you to live this close to such natural drama while remaining in the heart of a village.
The main residential level — a beautifully renovated two-bedroom home — is designed with comfort and flow in mind. A cook’s kitchen anchors the open-plan layout, connecting to dining and living spaces where the waterfall becomes the artwork. A spa-like bath with a steam shower and central air adds modern ease, while a private deck offers an immersive perch over Woodstock’s most famous falls.
Above, “A Woodstock Waterfall Hideaway” is a fully permitted short-term rental (STR) that guests call unforgettable. This one-bedroom apartment has its own kitchen, living area, and workspace, with 5-star reviews from visitors who return for the singular joy of falling asleep and waking up beside the sound of water — all while being a stone’s throw from Woodstock’s unique cafés, shops, and galleries.
Additional features include a separately rented street-level commercial studio and a detached street-side office (originally a garage), offering even more flexibility and income potential.
There is no need for a car as the bus stop from the city is steps away. With its central walkable location, rich history, multiple income streams, and rare setting directly on the falls, this property is not just a home or investment but a lifestyle. Here, natural beauty and cultural vitality meet, offering an unparalleled opportunity in the very heart of Woodstock.
