Property Description
Built in the early 1800s, the 2,600 square-foot house has the warmth and character of a classic upstate home - with historic details including clapboard cedar siding, hardwood floors, exposed beams and more. Surrounded by mature trees and open lawn, the house feels wonderfully private. The first floor offers a charming country kitchen, formal living and dining rooms with adjacent screened-in sun porch, two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom. Upstairs you'll find a large sunny landing setup as a lounge and library, and two charming bedrooms with vaulted ceiling, and another full bathroom.
Across the groomed lawn is the beautiful gunite pool overlooking dramatic rock outcroppings and a small pond. A separate pool house is perfect as an artist's studio or additional guest quarters, while a two-car garage provides ample storage. Elsewhere on the property is a small experimental structure in need of a full restoration, built in the 1980s by Hungarian architect Bálint Nagy, adding an unexpected architectural layer to the property.
But the real magic of Beaver Hill is the land. Old logging trails wind through the 130 acres and could be restored into miles of private walking trails through the forest. At the rear of the property are two large ponds, home to beavers, great blue herons, and abundant wildlife. Take the rowboat out on the water, wander the woods, or simply watch the landscape change with the seasons. This is your own private nature reserve in the foothills of the Taconic Mountains.
Beaver Hill sits adjacent to Lake Taghkanic State Park and just moments off the Taconic State Parkway, making it an easy drive of just over 2 hours from New York City. Just down the road is Dove's Diner, the wonderfully restored 1950s diner with incredible American fare. And at just 15 minutes to thriving Hudson - you are close to the cultural heart of the Hudson Valley, with its celebrated restaurants, galleries, shops, and the Amtrak station.
After half a century with the same family, Beaver Hill is ready for its next chapter. Properties with this much land, water, history, and natural beauty are increasingly hard to find. Come see for yourself - walk the land and experience the magic.
