A quiet surprise awaits the traveler from New York City. Thirty five minutes from Broadway, on the west shore of the Hudson River, Snedens Landing is a Rip Van Winkle, hamlet of some one hundred houses hidden in the nooks and crannies of a winding valley that cuts down through the great Palisades cliffs to the Hudson River. This is one of the few places a road could reach the river, where there was once a Landing for Dobbs Ferry. The land was cleared for farming in the 18th century, and only in the past 50 years have the woods returned. The result is a spectacular natural landscape.

Entering the Landing you drive past a serendipitous collection of historic and contemporary homes set in well loved gardens in a picture pretty "Brigadoon-like" setting. A private lane leads to our featured, 2 acre woodland property, bordered by the Hudson River and a nature preserve that surrounds a wondrous, waterfall.

A wisteria covered, trellised entrance leads to our serene country cottage, built as an oasis for the creative spirit. The upper level features a master bedroom with a wood burning fireplace and an adjoining bedroom, both with "Moonlight on the Hudson", fantastic Hudson River views and access to a private deck. In addition, there are two adjoining baths and a cozy central, study area.

A special feature on this level is the skylit, bedroom/sitting area with a wood burning fireplace. This room has access to a beautifully crafted, circular stone stairway leading down to a terraced garden and nature preserve.

An outdoor storage breezeway adjoins the entryway.

An interior, circular stairway leads to the lower level which features a light filled, great room with a wood burning fireplace, another riverview deck, the garden terrace and a hand crafted, stairway winding through the woodland, to the riverside spot from which to launch your Kayak.

The newly designed country kitchen features Miele, Sub Zero, Viking and Dacor appliances and also has access to the terrace and the surrounding woodland. There is also a laundry room, powder room and utility room on this level.

Architect's renderings and model for proposed addition are available on request.

The property is serviced by a recently installed; gas fired heating system, a central air conditioning system, municipal water and a septic system. Taxes are approximately $30,000.
