8 Manitou Ridge

Perched above the Hudson River, this 1890 Arts & Crafts Victorian, harmoniously expanded in 2000 and updated in 2013, offers sweeping, panoramic Hudson River views from every room and rare walkable access to Metro-North. A circular drive ringing ancient pines welcomes you to beautifully landscaped grounds featuring mature specimen trees, amazing perennial gardens, and stone walls—all thoughtfully curated for easy maintenance and year-round enjoyment. Inside, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and bountiful windows offering generous natural light, create inviting living spaces anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace with new wood-burning insert. A TV media room and office with full bath and separate access door could easily be used as a main floor bedroom or guest suite. The rare third-floor bedroom with balcony provides breathtaking sunset views stretching across the Hudson, from the Bear Mountain Bridge to the south and Sugarloaf Mountain to the north. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and custom concrete countertops, with direct access to both the dining room and deck for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. A private path directly leads to Manitou Point Preserve, 129 acres of rarely visited wilderness, with three miles of meandering hiking trails hugging the Hudson’s riverbanks, creating an effortless connection between nature and city life. The Appalachian Trail and iconic Anthony’s Nose are just up the hill. Soaring Bald Eagles nest on the edges of the marsh below, taking highest honors in this bird watchers’ paradise. Whether you're seeking a peaceful full-time retreat or a scenic weekend escape, this river view haven offers the best of both worlds.
