Own a piece of Hopewell’s history with this 100yr old property, the former boys camp!
Set high on the ridgelines of East Fishkill, 236 Hosner Mountain Road offers a rare blend of historic character, wooded privacy, and untapped potential. Originally built circa 1930 and used as a seasonal boys’ camp, the property carries a unique Hudson Valley heritage that still echoes through its simple, enduring structure and natural setting.
Inside, the home reflects its early-20th-century origins with a rustic layout that prioritizes function and comfort over formality. Featuring an open floor plan with defined living spaces that maintain a cozy, grounded feel, the original fireplace, stained glass window, and wood elements give the home a warm, rustic character. The kitchen and bath areas have been updated for modern use while retaining a natural, practical design consistent with the home’s original footprint. The inclusion of a first-floor primary suite anchors daily living on the main level with ample light through North and East-facing windows, plus a large soaking tub in the updated bathroom. An additional full bath rounds out the first floor options, featuring an original stained glass window that has been lovingly maintained. Upstairs, the catwalk adds some unique character, while two additional bedrooms and a large bonus room offer potential for a home office, home gym, or game room. Appearances can be deceiving, as the small exterior footprint lends itself to a surprisingly spacious interior with high ceilings, multiple living rooms, and no shortage of storage space between the full-length, walk-out basement, walk-out storage room upstairs, and attics.
Overall, the interior reads as a blend of historic camp-era simplicity and modern residential adaptation—comfortable, unpretentious, and closely tied to the surrounding landscape. The property itself feels tucked away yet accessible—ideal for those seeking a retreat-like atmosphere without sacrificing convenience due to its easy access to Route 84 and the Taconic Parkway.
