Down by the river STORY BY MATT SHORTALL PHOTOS BY MATT SHORTALL & FREDA REALTY

NOVEMBER, 2017

mile or so down River Road outside of Callicoon sits a 2,000 square foot country cabin just off the banks of the Delaware River. It’s a peaceful, quiet place where life moves only as fast as the river itself. Going for a relaxing drive down River Road during the warmer months, you might see people walking their dogs alongside kayaks and canoes pulled up on the shore. Across the street from people’s homes they’ve built decks overlooking the river where families sit to each lunch. If you look carefully, you might see a bald eagle scouting the river from their nest high up in a pine tree. The Delaware River is as much a part of the area’s identity as anything else. The river attracts a wide array of rafters, fishermen and outdoors enthusiasts of all stripes. This three bedroom and two bath cedar-sided contemporary cabin is almost within walking distance of Callicoon, but far enough away to feel at one with nature.

(Bottom left) This contemporary riverfront home offers stunning views of the Delaware from the front porch and majestic views of the mountains behind the house. (Bottom right) The view of the living room from up on the loft gives you a sense of the scale of the cathedral ceiings.

(Top left) Windows high up on the second half of the 20-foot ceilings let in plenty of natural light. (Bottom Left) The view of the loft and upstairs bedroom from the living room.

(Top right) The porch on the front corner of the house offers fine views of the river while you enjoy coffee or brunch with friends. (Bottom Right) The master bedroom on the second floor

Sitting on two acres of property with a spacious side yard, front and back covered porches and an uncovered side patio, this house demands to host guests. When you walk through the front door you feel unbound. A spacious open floor plan stretches across custom oak floors. Twenty foot ceilings in the living room add to the sense of space. The bluestone fireplace will keep you warm on those cold winter evenings, and also serve as an economically smart heating method. Upstairs is a loft overlooking the living

room. It would make a perfect sleeping space for any guests who decide to spend the night. The master bedroom is located down the hall of the second floor. The covered porch outside the back door gazes up at a sheer rock face, at least 50 feet in height. When you do decide to wander into town, you’re only a short distance from a grocery store, restaurants, a movie theater, a bank, post office and a bowling alley. But who would want to leave when you have your own little slice of bucolic paradise?

of our indoor lighting. We charge our batteries while at work, but at this point these things are second nature." "My favorite part about living small is the connection that I have to my surroundings and also to my belongings. Life feels so distracting but living small helps you ignore much of that. I have always been a collector, but on the day I was to move into the camper full time as I looked around my old bedroom at all of the things I treasured so much I suddenly felt the stings of attachment fade away. As I stared at items I thought about getting rid of many times before, but talked myself into keeping for one reason or another, I finally felt a disconnect. I could not imagine them being a part of this exciting new life I was about to embark on. It was finally easy to make up my mind about the objects that I dragged along for so long. Either it was beautiful, useful, and meaningful and I kept it or it wasn't. I haven't regretted getting rid of one item and after being in the camper for some time, I had realized what other objects I carried around that just didn't serve me anymore and I let those go too. Motichka encourages everyone to try scaling down their living spaces. "It helps you slow down and enjoy what is around you. It quiets life's distractions so you can enjoy the things you love more fully."

Servicing Sullivan’s electrical needs for 70 years BY MATT SHORTALL Whether you’re doing work on your house, apartment, commercial or industrial business, Ross Electric Company is your primary source for all your electrical needs.

F

or more than 70 years, Ross Electric has been a reliable and professional supplier of electrical needs for residential, commercial and industrial properties alike across Sullivan County and beyond. It all started in 1945 when Harry Ross opened up shop in Liberty repairing radios and installing home electric outlets. Harry’s son, Joel, expanded the business in the 1970s by hiring more staff, adding more service trucks and relocating their main office to Ferndale. By hiring his sons – Steve, Kenny, and Eric – Joel turned Ross Electric into a multi-generational, family-owned and operated business. Today, Ross Electric has the experience and expertise to handle almost any job – whether that’s wiring medical centers, overhead and underground electric line maintenence, or installation and maintenence of home electrical systems. A growing part of Ross Electric’s business has been the sale and maintenence of home generator systems. Ross has been honored as a designated Generac Power Pro Dealer and has been awarded Elite dealer status. “These dealers meet a stringent set of

requirements ensuring customers receive a bestin-class sales and service experience when pur-

chasing Generac products,� said PowerPro Dealers in describing these distinguished designations.
