Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a refined Hudson Valley retreat designed for effortless four-season living just minutes from the vibrant heart of Hudson. Privately set amidst serene natural surroundings in Ghent, this exceptional property blends resort-style outdoor living with the warmth, comfort, and lifestyle today's buyers are seeking. Designed for full-time living, weekend escapes, second-home ownership, or investment potential, this turnkey retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, resort-style amenities, and year-round enjoyment.
From the moment you arrive, the setting feels like a private escape. The resort-inspired outdoor experience is the true centerpiece of the property, featuring an in-ground saltwater pool, an illuminated pergola with fan and electric, a custom fire pit area, and expansive open grounds designed for unforgettable entertaining, quiet mornings, and evenings under the stars. Whether hosting summer weekends, gathering with friends after a day exploring Hudson Valley destinations, or simply unwinding in total privacy, the property captures the feeling of a luxury retreat rarely found at this price point.
Inside, bright and inviting living spaces flow effortlessly throughout the home, enhanced by 9-foot ceilings on the first floor, abundant natural light, scenic views of the surrounding landscape, and many 2026 appliance upgrades adding to the home's turnkey appeal. The spacious layout includes 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, plus a bonus heated living space ideal for media, recreation, fitness, creative pursuits, or today's highly sought-after work-from-home lifestyle. The lower level also offers unfinished storage, a gaming area, and utility space for additional convenience and functionality. Fiber optic internet delivers seamless high-speed connectivity, making the property equally suited for remote work and weekend living.
Enjoy the very best of Hudson Valley living with nearby farm-to-table dining, wineries, orchards, hiking trails, farmers' markets, art galleries, and cultural destinations, including FilmColumbia at the historic Crandell Theatre. Just down the road is Bartlett House, a highly regarded bakery and cafe, housed in a beautifully restored 1870s brick building—perfect for brunch or a morning coffee. Outdoor recreation is moments away at Lake Taghkanic State Park, offering boating, kayaking, swimming, fishing, and seasonal activities that enhance the property's exceptional four-season appeal.
Ideally positioned just 5 miles from the Taconic State Parkway and convenient to Hudson, Chatham, the Berkshires, and Columbia County's most desirable destinations, this curated Upstate New York retreat offers the perfect balance of accessibility, privacy, and lifestyle.
"The sellers especially love the peaceful private setting, seamless indoor-outdoor living, evenings around the fire pit and pergola, and the convenience of being moments from Hudson while still feeling like a true escape."
