Description

Welcome to this extraordinary Van Geldern-designed cedar contemporary, privately situated on over 6 breathtaking acres on a peninsula surrounded by reservoir views and complemented by an additional 30-acre forest preserve. Offering the perfect blend of architectural character, privacy, and natural beauty, this one-of-a-kind retreat is ideal as a full-time residence or weekend escape just one hour from New York City. Adding to the home’s distinction is its architectural pedigree. Van Geldern-Diano Architects, historically led by architect George Van Geldern and Martin Diano, was an architectural and construction firm formerly located in Katonah, New York. Known for designing unique mountainside residential projects, their work has been featured in The New York Times Magazine, and this cedar contemporary reflects the firm’s signature emphasis on site-sensitive design, natural materials, and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape. Located in the heart of the Hudson Valley, the property offers exceptional access to the region’s outdoor lifestyle, with nearby hiking trails, state parks, skiing, Cold Spring, and convenient train stations for easy travel. Tucked away in a peaceful, private setting, the home feels far enough from stores, restaurants, and everyday bustle to provide true tranquility, yet close enough to enjoy a day trip, dinner out, shopping, or an evening in one of the Hudson Valley’s charming towns. The spacious multi-level home features 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and an open, light-filled floor plan designed to showcase the stunning surroundings. Expansive windows frame picturesque water and woodland views, while two fireplaces add warmth and ambiance throughout the living spaces. The thoughtfully designed layout offers flexibility for entertaining, working from home, or simply relaxing in a serene setting. Additional highlights include a 2-car attached garage, abundant storage, and multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy the peaceful landscape. Enhancing the retreat-like experience are an outdoor shower, hot tub, and sauna, all set within the property’s exceptionally private natural surroundings. Whether you’re seeking a private sanctuary, a nature lover’s retreat, or an exceptional weekend getaway, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, tranquility, timeless contemporary design, and the best of Hudson Valley living in an unparalleled setting.
