A Rare Mountain Retreat Overlooking the Hudson River – 51 Private Acres in Beacon, NY
Opportunities like this come along once in a lifetime. Tucked high in the mountains above the vibrant City of Beacon, this breathtaking three-level contemporary home sits on 51 acres of unspoiled land, directly bordering hundreds more acres of protected New York State wilderness. With sweeping views of the Hudson River and total privacy at the end of a quarter-mile driveway, this is a sanctuary unlike anything else in the area. A true retreat from the everyday, the property offers a rare combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and luxurious comfort. Step outside your door to explore private trails that wind through historic stone walls and connect to iconic hiking routes including Fishkill Ridge, Mount Beacon, and Breakneck. Two spring-fed streams flow through the land, feeding tranquil ponds below the home. The property teems with wildlife—wild turkeys roam freely through the woods and fields, while hawks and eagles soar overhead, reminding you daily of the wild majesty of the Hudson Valley. The land itself is a canvas—ready for your architect and landscape designer to shape your vision of a truly personalized mountain haven. Designed to capture the beauty of its surroundings, the custom-built home showcases panoramic views from nearly every room. The open-concept main floor is ideal for entertaining, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Watch the sun dip behind the Shawangunk Mountains from the expansive deck, or relax in the screened-in porch—perfect for al fresco dining, birdwatching, or quiet afternoon naps. The chef’s kitchen features butcher block countertops, generous cabinet space, a walk-in pantry, and a stylish bar area. The private owner's wing includes a luxurious ensuite bath with marble floors, soaking tub, glass-enclosed tiled shower, floating vanity, and two walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms are thoughtfully placed on the opposite side of the home—one with its own ensuite bath, the other with a nearby powder room. The top floor offers flexible living space currently used as a media room and library, along with a private office and attic storage. On the walk-out lower level, you'll find a fully self-contained living area with a kitchenette, pantry, full bathroom, laundry room, and its own covered patio—ideal for guests, creative work, a gym, or a home business. Additional highlights include gleaming hardwood floors, ductless air conditioning, a whole-house generator, a two-car garage, and a freshly painted exterior. Located just 10 minutes from Metro-North in Beacon, this exceptional property offers the best of both worlds: total tranquility with easy access to NYC (just 1.5 hours by train). Zoned for Beacon schools. Create your own private estate in the Hudson Valley—an unmatched opportunity to live, explore, and thrive.
