True North Home

A Gleaming Glass Architectural Gem Overlooking the Hudson Valley

Comprised of six en-suite bedrooms (two kings, four queens), plus a dormitory-styled room for three, this striking architectural retreat by Thomas Phifer is enclosed in glass, its generous living pavilion offering a wet-bar and fireplace, statement furnishings and a wealth of art and antiques. The property is also home to a shiny, commercial grade, stainless-steel kitchen that’s fully equipped, plus an office space, movement room, theater, indoor salt-filtered pool and dry sauna. There are multiple rental options with this versatile property: as a standalone home or together, with a glass guest house.

Green panoramas are inescapable, and the property's sprawling lawns cover the verdant, 400-acre plot, dotted with dense woods, and ponds, and bordered by rolling Hudson Valley farmland. There are loungers, an outdoor dining table and a barbecue grill. The shared outdoor pool is available May through October, and the hundreds of acres of open land are ideal for both easy garden strolls and more extensive forest hikes.

Around

The house is located 15 minutes by car from the vibrant arts community of Hudson, a charming Upstate town along the Hudson River, only two hours by train from Manhattan. The town has plenty to occupy visitors, including restaurants, galleries, spas, yoga and pilates centers, mindfulness and meditation centers, an Opera House, and the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts.

The Taconic Parkway offers easy access for drives to NYC as well as Albany and Boston, and the region offers high-quality food and culture, with classic Upstate outdoor recreation opportunities. The ski slopes of Windham, Hunter, MA, and New England are easily reached as day outings, and the residence itself was created for creativity and transformation. The property is located on the ancestral homelands and traditional territories of the Mohican, Mohawk and Ramapough Munsee Lenape peoples, and the residence works to revere, acknowledge, and steward its place on First Nations lands. The property serves as a hub for visionaries and luminaries and an incubator for creatives who facilitate experiences that connect individuals to the Earth.
