High above the storied banks of the Hudson River, in a quiet corner of Esopus where morning light breaks first across the water, a rare nearly 6 acre hillside waits for its next chapter. With 375 feet of direct river frontage and an unbroken sweep of east-facing sunrise views, the property offers the kind of canvas that has become increasingly difficult to find in the Hudson Valley; vast, elevated, and rich with possibility. Two 19th-century structures stand on the land, their weathered frames hinting at the site’s long history. They are in a state ready for renovation, inviting an imaginative steward to restore them as guest cottages, studios, or architectural artifacts. Just as easily, the hillside could be cleared to make way for a contemporary glass retreat, something modern and sculptural that drinks in the river light and frames the distant movement of ships and barges as they travel the famed waterway. Here, the land itself does much of the work: rolling contours, mature growth, and a pitch that lifts the eye instinctively toward the horizon. With existing electric service and a clean, functioning well already in place, the practical foundations are set. What remains is vision, whether for a singular estate or, with approvals, the thoughtful division into two distinct riverfront homesites. In a region where demand routinely outpaces opportunity, this parcel stands out not only for its scale but for its setting. Perched above the river’s edge, it offers the rare chance to craft a legacy residence, one shaped by light, landscape, and the enduring pull of the Hudson itself. For those searching for the next great place to write their Hudson Valley story, this hillside may be the one.
