This rare, surviving structure, of the Gilded Age Linwood Estate, was built by eccentric “Beer Baron" and New York Yankee owner Col. Jacob Ruppert. Sited above the banks the Landsman Kill stream, which runs along the entire border of the home, and at one time powered the numerous mills which fueled the early industries of the Hudson River Valley. Exquisitely renovated by a SoHo artist, its sunny open floor plan, sky lights, high ceilings and exposed beams, private sleeping porch, back deck and tasteful upgrades, create a sophisticated atmosphere of modernism and mirth. This unique waterside property has had many incarnations, once as a farm building and workshop, housing collections of antique cars and boats, It has served as an artist studio and a gymnasium for wayward children. Now? It is a fantastic place for you to entertain! The tiered hillside of the property tapers down the embankment to reveal a waterfront stretching from the back yard to a little bridge spanning the waterfall which feeds Vanderburgh Cove, the protected Hudson River inlet. Teaming with wildlife and the sounds of cascading water, the picturesque setting combines the romance of a bygone era with the natural beauty of the landscape and estuary. Once famous as “Estate Road”, it boasted the many original Livingston estates running along the five miles of Mill Road overlooking the Hudson River. It is a distinctive setting, described in the writings of Henry James and Edith Wharton, and Thomas Wolfe worked on his famous “Look Homeward Angel” in a stone cottage on the adjacent bank. Only two miles to the train station in Rhinecliff and the many amenities of Rhinebeck Village, It is perfect for a weekend country home, a full time residence or a dynamic Live-Work retreat, with special provenance. Steeped in stories of riverboats, waterwheels and railroads, the roots of modern American literature and the guy who built Yankee Stadium.
