Sitting atop rolling green hills overlooking the Hudson River, The River House is a private 3-acre compound in the heart of Germantown— and a whole world unto itself. The anticipation when venturing uphill along the long curving driveway adds to the excitement one feels when this private oasis reveals itself: an expert's exercise in intentionality, executed with discerning taste and a deep understanding of what it means to live well in the Hudson Valley.
Both the interior and exterior are designed around the river offering magnificent year-round views. From inside, large windows and sliding doors have been positioned around the house to capture wide reaching views of the glistening Hudson as the backdrop, while the eastern facing windows frame the lush green landscape. Outside, soak in sunrises, sunsets, and everything in-between from the in-ground saline pool, cedar hot tub, or one of the thoughtfully designed gathering spaces. Each bedroom enjoys unique views and ample storage space with two featuring en-suite baths.
The home is minimalist in design yet rich in the comforts and amenities one desires in a country retreat. Whether hosting guests or simply enjoying a quiet evening, the wood-burning fireplace sets the tone, while the lower level—transformed into a cinema room with a lounge and a flexible space—adds versatility for leisure and play.
Ideally located just minutes from everything Germantown has to offer, with easy access to neighboring Hudson, Tivoli, and Rhinebeck. Only 15 minutes to the Hudson Amtrak station and just 90 minutes from NYC.
