High above the Hudson Valley, just minutes from Rhinebeck… this beautifully sited cottage offers the kind of peaceful retreat that’s increasingly hard to find. Perched above the road on a generous rise, the home enjoys panoramic, west-facing views of the Catskill Mountains—an ever-changing canvas of sunsets and seasons that you can take in from nearly every room. Recently updated with a keen sense of style, the home features an open floor plan that flows effortlessly from the kitchen to the living room and onto a deep covered porch that spans the full length of the house. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for fall evenings or quiet winter mornings. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a large island for gathering and a walk-in pantry behind a charming barn door, making it as functional as it is welcoming. Two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath complete the main house. The detached two-car garage includes a partially finished, heated lower level with its own walk-out entrance—offering flexible space for a home office, studio, guest quarters, or workshop. A freestanding shed adds even more potential, easily transformed into a creative workspace or garden retreat. The outdoor living experience here is just as special. A stone patio with a fire pit invites you to linger under the stars, while the wide open lawn offers room to roam, garden, or simply relax in the sun. A stock tank pool adds a refreshing touch in the warmer months—perfect for cooling off after a hike or lounging on a summer afternoon. Across the road, Dinsmore Golf Course adds an unexpected bonus, and the nearby hamlet of Staatsburg provides access to over 1,000 acres of riverfront trails, parks, and waterways ideal for hiking, biking, or kayaking. Rhinebeck’s shops, restaurants, and weekly farmer’s market are less than five minutes away. The Rhinecliff Amtrak station is just a 15-minute drive, making weekend escapes—or weekday commutes—effortless. This is a home that offers more than just a place to live. It’s a basecamp for exploration, a quiet escape, and a front-row seat to the beauty of the Hudson Valley. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a weekend getaway, this charming retreat balances convenience and serenity in equal measure. Schedule a Private Showing
