1110 River Road, Schodack, NY 12156, Schodack

Set on over 23 private acres along the Hudson River corridor, this circa-1860 Italianate Victorian estate offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of New York history, easily accessible to New York City by rail or car. Approached by a long, tree-lined drive and surrounded by rolling lawns and mature trees, the property enjoys a private setting that complements its historic architecture. The home reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era, with soaring ceilings, six fireplaces (five marble and one brick), generously sized rooms, original moldings, and detailed woodwork. With more than 5,600 square feet of living space, the home offers flexibility, including seven bedrooms and three full baths, with expansive living areas well suited for gathering, entertaining, or multi-generational living. Oversized windows bring natural light into the home’s formal rooms and comfortable gathering spaces. Modern systems complement the home’s historic character. The property includes a commercial solar array that has effectively eliminated electric costs. Heating options include a Buderus oil boiler as well as an exterior wood boiler. The grounds include open acreage, perennial gardens, fruit trees, a classic two-story barn once used as an icehouse, and a 20×40 pool with lap extension. The home and grounds have comfortably hosted many large gatherings. The scale of the property lends itself to a variety of future possibilities, subject to buyer verification. The property offers an opportunity to update and personalize while preserving its architectural integrity. Despite its private setting, Hudson and Albany are both within easy reach, and the Albany-Rensselaer Amtrak station–just 17 minutes away–offers direct service to New York City. Chatham and the Berkshires are also nearby, placing the property close to the region’s cultural destinations, outdoor recreation, and small-town amenities. A distinctive estate whose scale and setting have long brought people together.
