This Hudson Valley home, formerly owned by Jasper Johns, could be yours for $600,000

The Hudson Valley has long been a popular destination among artists looking to surround themselves with towering mountains, green forests, and the broad river. Over the years, this historic region has attracted many creatives, including Edward Hopper, Milton Avery, and Jasper Johns. Those looking to move closer to the landscapes that inspired famous American artists have a chance to buy the former home and studio of Jasper Johns. 

Located in Stony Point, New York, this rustic hideaway has a very attractive price tag – $600,000. The home sits on 1.3 acres, next to countless trees and a crystal brook. The sale includes a 2,100 square feet house with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, as well as a detached two-car garage. In addition, the future owner would also acquire a separate studio apartment, ideal for those looking to earn passive income. 

The former home of the legendary artist comes with floor-to-ceiling windows, a spacious living room, a formal dining room, a charming kitchen, and an art studio. Other notable details in this house include handmade floor tiles, a fireplace, and glass garage doors on the second-floor studio that lift up, creating the effect of being in a treehouse. The surrounding woods also provide additional privacy and inspire new art.

Jasper Johns, a celebrated American artist, purchased this Rockland County home in 1973. This house, which dates back to 1930, was originally a barn. Johns added a studio and living room but kept some of its original details, including hand-hewn beams, barn board walls, and wide plank floors. Jasper Johns lived and worked in this home throughout the 70s and 80s before selling it in 1995. 

The outdoor area of this Hudson Valley estate boasts multiple decks and terraces that overlook wood and the brook. The property is situated next to Harriman State Park, 33 miles north of the George Washington Bridge, and just an hour away from the hustle and bustle of New York City. As with any property associated with a renowned artist, the former Jasper Johns home also serves as a place of inspiration and creative energy.
