65 Mine Dock Road

There are homes… and then there are places that feel discovered. Perched high above the Hudson River, this extraordinary contemporary retreat captures a perspective few will ever own. From its elevated setting—approximately 70–80 feet above sea level—the views unfold in a sweeping panorama, stretching from the iconic Bear Mountain Bridge across the untouched, wooded hills of Garrison. With no development in sight—only river, sky, and mountain—this is a landscape preserved in time. Built in 1966 and held by just two owners, this is the first time the home has ever been offered to the open market. In the late 1990s, it was thoughtfully reimagined by architect Frank Tancredi, who opened the living spaces, expanded the glass, and oriented the home entirely toward its most valuable feature—the view. Inside, 2,732 square feet unfold with an easy, modern flow. Sunlight pours through oversized picture windows, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. A first-floor primary suite offers comfort and ease, while every room feels intentionally connected to the surrounding landscape. Life here is lived as much outside as in. Two private decks—including one with a hot tub—and a stone patio with grill create a series of outdoor spaces, each positioned to take in the unobstructed riverfront panorama. Below, Mine Dock Park rests quietly along the shoreline—one of the rare locations on the Hudson where you can legally drive down to the water’s edge. The 1.7-acre property borders protected land, ensuring permanent privacy—nothing will ever be built to interrupt the setting. Wildlife is part of daily life, with indigo buntings, phoebes, and pileated woodpeckers returning season after season, and the Appalachian Trail just a quarter mile away. Yet despite its sense of escape, the home is remarkably accessible. Located just 1.1 miles from the bridge and with a direct, scenic drive via the Palisades Interstate Parkway, this is an easy trip from New York City—making it ideal as a full-time residence or weekend retreat without the burden of a long or complicated commute. Additional features include central air and a garage with soaring ceilings, ideal for a studio, workshop, or collector’s space. Just minutes from the historic United States Military Academy and within easy reach of the Hudson Valley’s most sought-after destinations, the home offers both seclusion and connection. It even carries a cinematic note—serving as a filming location for a scene from Doctor Strange. Rarely does a property combine elevation, privacy, accessibility, and uninterrupted natural beauty so completely. This is more than a home. It is a vantage point. A retreat. And an opportunity that may not come again. Some places you visit. Others you never want to leave.
