- Both with private pool - Glorious river views - Outdoor dining and loungers - Approximately one mile apart from each other - Gracious and expansive property First Home: River House Welcome to River House! Follow a one-mile-long private driveway through groves of Walnut and alongside the Corlear Creek to reach this expansive estate. Upon entry, you’ll find 19th-century oak floors, antique brick from the old Athens brickyard, floor-to-ceiling windows, and huge dining and living rooms designed for large, cheerful gatherings. The corner game room invites your group to gather around the pool table and cozy up by the brick fireplace. When it’s time to unwind, head to the master bathroom, where a freestanding bathtub overlooking the water showcases the best views in the house. Outside, a river-side pool and a great lawn leading directly to the sandy beach on the Hudson give you plenty of opportunities to spend your days in the sun. Enjoy! Second Home: River Lodge Welcome to The River Lodge! A winding driveway through a covered bridge over Corlear Creek leads to this immaculate, hill-top home. Built with local stone in the late 1890s, the lodge sits just feet from the Hudson River with views of the water in every room. A vintage sunlit country kitchen, two-story rustic library, dining room with exposed brick, and sprawling light-filled common room allows rivers views from all three sides. There are three primary bedrooms, with six smaller rooms originally designed as actors’ quarters for Shakespeare on the Hudson productions. Spend your days in the pool, hot tub, and on the river for an unbeatable experience so close to the water that at times you can hear it. Enjoy! It's no wonder city dwellers flock to upstate New York's Hudson Valley for a break from the daily grind. Its rural beauty and colorful foliage is a beautiful change of scenery. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters to capture the area's rolling hills and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains, and then head to the farm to pick seasonal produce. Think apple picking in the fall and strawberries in the summer!
