Opportunities like this are few and far between. A true Hudson River escape with its own private dock, set in the heart of Garrison and easily accessible from the city, this is the kind of property that rarely comes to market. Imagine leaving Manhattan, hopping on Metro-North, and arriving at Manitou Pt. From there, it's a short trip to your front door. And then, right out back, you're at your own private dock, ready to take off on the Hudson River. No car required, no planning needed. Just effortless access to the water and a lifestyle that feels a world away from the city. The home itself is a fully renovated, thoughtfully designed two-bedroom cottage that blends simplicity with serious infrastructure. In 2016, it was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with durability and longevity in mind. Every detail was considered, from relocating all mechanicals to a custom second-floor mechanical room, to high wind-rated, tinted windows, double-sleeve well construction, blown insulation, and a whole-house generator. It's a home built not just to enjoy, but to last. The 90-foot seasonal dock (Army Corps and DEC approved) is the centerpiece, an increasingly rare feature that transforms how you live here. Morning coffee by the water, spontaneous sunset boat rides, weekends spent exploring the river, it's all right outside your door. Location-wise, it doesn't get much better. Just north of the Bear Mountain Bridge and minutes to the charm of Cold Spring, you're surrounded by some of the Hudson Valley's best hiking, dining, and culture. Trails like Anthony's Nose and Castle Rock are nearby, along with destinations like the Russel Wright Design Center, Magazzino Italian Art, the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, and the Cold Spring Farmers Market. Take Metro North to your front door, or drive, just 42 miles from the George Washington Bridge. For those who've been waiting for something truly special on the Hudson River, this is it.
