Serenity Cove - An Entire Riverfront Landscape
Privately set along the Hudson River just south of the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge, Serenity Cove is an extraordinary 44.90-acre offering defined by water, privacy, and natural beauty. With approximately 1,000 feet of Hudson River frontage, secluded cove, dramatic 40-foot waterfall, private pond, mature woodland, and elevated river views, this is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of the Hudson Valley.
Serenity Cove itself is a naturally sheltered and intimate stretch of waterfront that gives the property its name. One of the property's most distinctive natural assets—a dramatic 40-foot waterfall—cascades through the landscape toward the cove. The combination of the Hudson River, cove, waterfall, and surrounding terrain creates a setting of remarkable beauty and character.
Morning begins with the sun rising over the Hudson to the east, casting light across the water. As evening settles in, the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge lights glow in the distance, a captivating nighttime view.
The 44.9 acres consists of approximately 12 acres on the riverfront side of the property and 32.9 acres of wooded landscape on the west side of Ulster Landing Road, offering another dimension to the property. Mature woodland, maintained trails, varied terrain, and a large private pond provide space for recreation, exploration, conservation, or simply the enjoyment of an exceptionally private and quiet natural environment.
Serenity Cove is closely connected to celebrated dining, galleries, culture, and the sophisticated country lifestyle of the Hudson Valley. Rhinebeck, Kingston, Woodstock, and Saugerties are within easy reach and proximity to private aviation (Kingston Airport) and Amtrak service to New York City. Nearby parks offer picnic and boat launch facilities.
Serenity Cove could become an extraordinary private estate, compound, or sophisticated Hudson Valley retreat. The property's scale and location within the Town of Ulster's R-30 Residential Zoning District may offer additional possibilities. Residential, agricultural, conservation-oriented, recreational, and other potential uses may be worth exploring, depending upon the proposed use and applicable municipal approvals. This flexibility is part of what makes Serenity Cove so compelling.
On the southern end of the parcel sits an approximately 3,774-square-foot brick three-unit residence awaiting updating, together with a three-car garage, providing an existing structure to consider as part of a future vision.
Serenity Cove is one of a kind remarkable piece of the Hudson Valley offering that speaks for itself with substantial acreage and river frontage with a canvas of opportunity awaiting your vision.
