Rare is the residence just steps from the bank of the Hudson River. Here, the waters are inviting and readily accessible. Approached by a long, gated driveway and bound by stone walls and rock ledges, this secluded 3-story home is at the southernmost point of a private peninsula. Its 3+ acre landscape provides serene & dramatic 180 unobstructed vistas: to the South lies a peaceful bay, the Vanderbilt Estate, and a 3mile horizon; to the North, the handsome Catskill Mountains, and to the West, high above vast lawns, the registered Beaux Arts Payne House designed by Thomas Hastings, architect of the NY Public Library and The Frick. Surround yourself with Thomas Cole views and architectural pedigree. The 3500sf residence is an '80s contemporary designed with solar and geothermal energies. Embrace its uniqueness or use its platform for your own original design. (See link). With deep water access & 1200' of shoreline, this singular riverfront property is a launch for your craft and dreams.
