What if you didn't have to choose between village living and privacy? Set well back from the road on three private, park-like acres, this custom-built 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath ranch offers something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy and a peaceful country setting while still being close to the center of historic Coxsackie and the Hudson River. A long, sloping lawn surrounds the home, with seasonal Hudson River views and the rolling Columbia County hills beyond. Built by the current owner and offered for sale for the very first time, the home has been meticulously maintained and designed for comfortable everyday living with plenty of room for entertaining. Cathedral ceilings and abundant windows create a bright, open feel, while the generous floor plan provides space to spread out without sacrificing the connection between rooms. At the heart of the home is a spacious modern kitchen with center island that flows easily into the formal dining room and expansive sunken living room. Step directly outside onto the deck for summer dinners, weekend gatherings or a quiet evening under the stars. The BBQ and hot tub are included, making the outdoor space ready to enjoy from day one. Privately positioned at one end of the home, the primary suite features an en-suite bath with double sinks, a walk-in shower and two large closets. Three additional bedrooms and 2.5 additional baths offer plenty of flexibility for guests, a home office or extended stays, while conveniently located main-level laundry adds to the ease of one-level living. Running beneath the full footprint of the house, the enormous unfinished basement dramatically expands the possibilities of the property. Use it for exceptional storage, a workshop, gym or recreation space, or explore its potential for additional finished living area. Important mechanical improvements have already been made, including a Buderus boiler, made by the Bosch Group, installed approximately five years ago, along with four split heating and cooling units installed approximately three years ago. Outside, the property feels wonderfully removed from the pace of everyday life. Enjoy morning coffee on the front porch overlooking the lawn, garden, entertain, or simply appreciate having three acres of your own. Yet downtown Coxsackie and its Hudson River waterfront are close by, with restaurants, shops, a scenic riverfront park and boat launch, along with popular destinations including the James Newbury Hotel and Ravish the local speakeasy. The location makes getting here-and getting everywhere else-easy: approximately 10 minutes to the NYS Thruway, 25 minutes to Hudson's Amtrak station and 30 minutes to Albany International Airport, with Windham, Hunter Mountain, golf and the many recreational destinations of the Hudson Valley and Catskills within easy reach. For buyers who want land but not isolation, village life with privacy, and the ease of a ranch without sacrificing space, this property offers a compelling alternative to the typical Hudson Valley country house.
