This is an original 1911 Hudson River Arts and Crafts Cottage with an architecturally sensitive 2006 addition. The home is consistent with the design principles of Downing & Davis. Andrew Downing was a landscape architect and author of the book Cottage Residences (1842). Along with architect Alexander Davis, their design principles for river cottages and villas defined Hudson River architecture from the mid-1880s to the 1920s. For rural cottages, their concepts emphasized ingeniously arranged floor plans that harmoniously blended the architecture with the natural landscape. The result was compact, convenient and comfortable homes that fit into and complemented their surroundings. One of the signature elements of this style was orienting the home such that its front faced the Hudson River. This home is true to those design elements, being sensitively located to take best advantage of the property’s impressive easterly views, including the Hudson River, Berkshires and Green Mountains. The property is historically significant, originally owned by Pieter Bronck and was in the Bronck family from the 1700s to the early 1900s. Known as the “First Bronck Farm,” it was originally improved by a two-story stone house (circa 1800), referred to as “Bronck House.”Its ruins are still visible on the property. In the1800s, Bronck House was the home of Teunis B. VanSlyke and his wife, Judith Bronck. In the 1970s, the property was purchased by James A. Warren, an attorney, whose family was prominent in Greene County in the early 20th century. James’ father, Leonard, was the founder and president of the NationalBank of Coxsackie.. , The house, pool and outbuildings are situated in roughly the center of the property, providing complete privacy.

Only two miles from Warren Street, yet 188 Mt. Merino Road feels a world away. Set across 5.7 private acres overlooking the Hudson River, the property is an extraordinary convergence of open lawn, wildflower fields, mature trees and woodland, a peaceful, transporting landscape of sweeping water views, remarkable sunsets and true immersion in nature. The house itself has an entirely different kind of magic: it is immediately welcoming. Beautifully renovated, filled with natural light and designed to take full advantage of its surroundings, it is the kind of place you walk into and simply want to stay. Stylish and beautifully considered without ever feeling overly formal, it is equally suited to a quiet weekend at home or a house full of family and friends. Expansive sliding glass doors frame the Hudson and the ever-changing landscape beyond, opening the main living spaces directly onto a generous deck and allowing indoors and out to flow effortlessly together. Morning coffee overlooking the water, long lunches outside, sunset dinners with friends and evenings gathered around the wood-burning fireplace give the house an easy rhythm through every season. Open living and dining areas are generous and connected, yet quiet space is easy to find when wanted. Central air, an attached garage and both indoor and outdoor showers add to the ease of country living. Outside, the landscape becomes an essential part of daily life. Approximately two acres are discreetly fenced, while beyond, the property unfolds through open lawn and wildflower fields into beautiful mature trees and woodland. The Hudson, distant landscape and enormous changing sky are ever present, creating a sense of space and seclusion that feels almost impossible this close to Hudson. Set privately within the grounds, the oversized gunite pool is one of the property's great treasures. Mature wisteria cascades over the pergola beside it, creating a lush outdoor room for shaded lunches, reading, cocktails or escaping the afternoon sun. Surrounded by greenery and wonderfully removed from view, the pool feels like a destination of its own. A beautifully finished separate studio adds another dimension. Cozy and exceptionally well done, with sleeping accommodations, a full bath and its own split-system heating and cooling, it offers wonderful flexibility as a private guest retreat, home office or creative studio. Entertaining comes naturally here. Doors open to the deck, guests move easily between house, lawn and pool, and the landscape does much of the work. Yet for all its ability to accommodate a gathering, the property never loses its intimacy. There are places to disappear with a book, work quietly from the studio, swim surrounded by trees, wander through the wildflowers or simply sit and watch the light change over the river. The scale of the 5.7-acre parcel may also offer intriguing possibilities for additional building or future improvements, subject to independent confirmation with the appropriate municipal authorities, counsel and other professionals. And then there is Hudson. Warren Street's restaurants, galleries, shops, farmers market and cultural life are approximately five minutes away, along with Amtrak service to New York City. It is this proximity that makes the setting so unexpected: within minutes of leaving Hudson, the road falls away and you arrive home to woods, water, wildflowers, privacy and sky. 188 Mt. Merino Road is that rare combination, a house that makes you want to stay and a landscape that makes you feel as though you've gone somewhere entirely different. Nearly six private acres, sweeping Hudson River views, extraordinary sunsets, a beautifully turn key home, separate studio, spectacular pool and exceptional outdoor living come together just minutes from the heart of Hudson.

Welcome to Four Mile River House, where water is a way of life. This four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath contemporary post and beam home in Athens sits right at the river's edge, sand and shoreline giving way to a waterfront with room to dock or moor a boat. Built in 1997, the home spans roughly 3,458 square feet across two main levels, a finished lower level, and a third-floor crow's nest. Sunrise over the river, fishing before breakfast, the current always in view; this is waterfront living in its truest form. The property abuts state land and the Four-Mile Point Preserve bird sanctuary, so the privacy is permanent, not just a moment in time.The interior is a masterpiece of post and beam design, with hand-hewn beams, cathedral ceilings, and a gracious entrance foyer carrying the character throughout. The main level features radiant heated stone floors quarried in South Africa and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that warms the room. The formal dining area opens through two sets of French doors onto an expansive deck, framing sunrise views over the water. Opposite the fireplace, a chef's kitchen offers top-of-the-line appliances, a new Invisicook countertop, a center island, and custom cabinetry with a pantry.Upstairs, wide hardwood floors lead to a primary suite with a spacious bath and its own fireplace, joined by two more bedrooms with river views and a guest bath.

The finished lower level adds a recreation room, full bath, and a large bedroom or office, with French doors leading out to a covered patio and grounds. Recent systems include central air conditioning, forced air and radiant heat run on propane, and 200+ amp electric service, along with a two-car garage and driveway parking.Outside, a private fenced oasis unfolds across the property's 1.62 acres: tiered stone walls, mature flowering trees, and a cascading waterfall fountain with the potential to become a luxurious pool for the next owner. Approximately 250 feet of shoreline includes a cliff and a private beach on the Hudson, bordering state land on two sides, with river views from nearly every vantage point on the grounds. Clad in clapboard and six-inch stone veneer, the home settles into its landscape, and the adjoining preserve draws local birders for its osprey and cedar waxwing sightings.Located a short distance from Hudson, Albany, and the Catskills, the property offers easy access to dining, shopping, culture, and the outdoors. Commuters will find the Amtrak station in Hudson connects directly to NYC, and with Manhattan just over two hours by car, this is rural peace with real accessibility, equally suited to a full-time residence, country retreat, or vacation rental. Real river frontage, permanent privacy, and room to dock a boat: land like this doesn't change hands often.
