The Wedding Present Farm
A Rare Hudson Riverfront and Island Estate with Commercial Potential
A Rare Hudson Riverfront and Island Estate with Commercial Potential
An iconic Hudson River estate with extraordinary character, unmatched potential—and rare commercial opportunity. Set on 73 lush acres, including a 42-acre island, this historic property features a grand mansion, multiple guest houses, a barn, pool, and sweeping water views. Once gifted as a wedding present in 1907, it's now ready for a bold new chapter—whether as a private retreat, boutique hotel, or creative venue. Zoned residential with potential for commercial use (subject to town approval), this is a rare chance to restore a legacy and create something truly special—just 20 minutes from downtown Albany, about 30 minutes to Hudson, and under an hour to some of the region’s best skiing.

THE MANSION & RESIDENCES
Anchoring the estate is the original mansion—an impressive, historic structure with panoramic Hudson River views and elegant architectural details, perfectly suited for a showstopping main house, reception space, or guest-facing centerpiece. With its grand presence and timeless character, it’s ready to be reimagined as the heart of a one-of-a-kind hospitality destination.
Across the property, three additional residential buildings offer ideal accommodations for guests, staff, or extended stays—each one a blank slate for stylish updates or unique design concepts. Whether you’re envisioning a boutique hotel, wellness retreat, or high-end event venue, the existing layout offers scale, flexibility, and immediate value for development.
THE GROUNDS, LAND, & ISLAND
The Wedding Present Farm unfolds across 73 acres of rich, varied landscape—where every corner invites exploration. Meandering paths, native trees, wildflower meadows, and a tranquil private pond create an atmosphere that feels both cultivated and wild, perfect for immersive guest experiences or serene personal retreats.
At the edge of the property lies a truly extraordinary feature: a 42-acre island in the Hudson River. Accessible only by water and untouched by development, it offers a sense of complete seclusion—ideal for nature-forward programming, wellness offerings, artist residencies, or simply preserving as a protected natural sanctuary.
The land itself gently rolls and opens up to sweeping river views, with natural gathering spots and picture-perfect clearings throughout. Whether you're envisioning outdoor dining under the stars, riverside ceremonies, or miles of walking trails, the setting provides an unforgettable canvas.
