About the Listing o2015E - 23819
Welcome to ''Pine Needles'', home to former New York Governor John Alden Dix. Rare opportunity to own this magnificent property, built circa 1888, which includes a private 5+ acres with 220' of direct frontage on the Hudson River. This would make a wonderful family estate or second home while it also has potential for many uses from corporate retreat to a Bed & Breakfast. Situated on the East side of the Hudson in picturesque Washington County, the property features 6,900+ square feet of living space. The main house is currently setup with an owner's quarters along with 4 separate spaces providing rental income. There is an additional 3 car carriage house with a 2BR apt on the 2nd level. The views of the Hudson are magical. The property is rich in history and has evolved over the years. Back in 1777, during the Revolutionary War, General Burgoyne's army utilized these grounds to cross the Hudson with Burgoyne's ''Bridge of Boats'' only to face defeat at the Battle of Saratoga, a major turning point in the war. It was home to Governor Dix, the 38th Governor of New York, whom successfully advocated state legislation that improved workplace fire safety regulations. In 1963, Pine Needles became the home of the Schuyler Preparatory Academy, an all-boys private school. This boys boarding school was designed with high academic standards and attracted students from outside of the community. The old basketball and tennis courts remain on the grounds today. This estate is located just steps to the Dix Bridge, which connects Washington and Saratoga Counties. It allows pedestrians to cross the river and have access to Hudson Crossing Park, a unique recreation and educational destination featuring walking trails, children's play garden, Champlain Canal Lock 5, and picnic pavilion. A truly beautiful space to enjoy your daily walks and take in gorgeous views of the Hudson River. Visit Circa Old Houses website to learn more about the incredible history of Pine Needles.
