ON THE MARKET: A Rare Hudson River Home with Water Access

INSIDE+OUT Upstate NY is thrilled to share a rare Hudson River property where the setting is every bit as compelling as the home itself. Brought to you by listing agent Christina Ahouse of Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty, 63 River Road in Malden-on-Hudson is a contemporary waterfront retreat set on nearly 1.5 level acres, with almost 180 degrees of unobstructed river views and direct deep-water access. Here, breathtaking sunrises unfold each morning as bald eagles soar overhead and the river’s ever-changing rhythm becomes part of everyday life.

INSIDE+OUT: A Front-Row Seat to the Hudson River

Built in 1997, the home features floor-to-ceiling windows in the dramatic great room that put the Hudson front and center, creating a home that changes with the seasons—from sailboats and kayaks in summer to brilliant fall color, winter stillness, and spectacular sunrises year-round. Outdoor decks and porches extend the living space toward the water, while municipal water and sewer and natural gas add everyday convenience. And while the house feels completely immersed in its riverfront landscape, it’s just minutes from the Village of Saugerties and destinations including the Saugerties Lighthouse, Opus 40, independent shops, restaurants, and the area’s thriving arts and cultural scene. For anyone dreaming of life directly on the Hudson, this is the kind of property that’s increasingly hard to find.

INSIDE | 2 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms | 1,967 Sq. Feet

Step inside, and the Hudson River immediately becomes part of the experience. The home’s dramatic great room makes the strongest first impression, with soaring cathedral ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows framing broad, unobstructed views of the water. Hardwood floors bring warmth to the open living spaces, while the wet bar creates an easy setup for entertaining. The adjoining kitchen and dining areas keep the layout connected and relaxed, with natural light and river views providing a striking backdrop for everything from quiet mornings to dinner with friends.

The home’s two bedrooms offer a quieter retreat from the main gathering spaces, complemented by two full baths and a powder room. Throughout, a mix of hardwood, concrete, and tile gives the interiors a clean, contemporary character without competing with the scenery outside. A full walk-out basement adds another layer of usable space and flexibility, while central air and thoughtful everyday comforts make this waterfront home as practical as it is memorable.

OUTSIDE | 1.47 Acres | Built in 1997

Outside, the Hudson takes center stage. With almost 180 degrees of unobstructed river views, the property offers an extraordinary sense of openness along the water. Decks and porches create natural extensions of the interior living spaces, with plenty of room to dine outdoors, entertain friends, or simply settle in and watch boats move along the river. The level grounds provide space to garden, gather, play, or create your own private waterfront escape, all against an ever-changing backdrop of water, sky, and the landscape beyond.

The real standout is the property’s direct deep-water access, opening the door to boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and days spent exploring the Hudson right from home. Spring welcomes brilliant mornings and the return of wildlife. Summer brings sailboats, kayaks, and colorful hot air balloons drifting across the valley. Autumn transforms the surrounding mountains into a spectacular display of color. At the same time, winter settles into the quiet stillness that makes the Hudson Valley so unforgettable.

Just minutes from the heart of the Village of Saugerties, you’ll enjoy one of the Hudson Valley’s most beloved destinations, known for its vibrant dining scene, independent boutiques, the historic Saugerties Lighthouse, the internationally acclaimed Opus 40 sculpture park, world-class HITS-on-the-Hudson equestrian competitions, and celebrated annual events including the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival and the Saugerties Artists’ Studio Tour. This is more than a waterfront home.

If you’re looking to make a move to Upstate New York—and waterfront living is high on your wish list—63 River Road deserves to be seen in person. The combination of sweeping Hudson River views, direct water access, generous outdoor space, and a light-filled contemporary home makes this a rare opportunity to experience the river as part of everyday life.

Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or simply more space and a stronger connection to the outdoors, this property delivers the Upstate lifestyle in a truly memorable setting. Come for the house, but be prepared to fall for the view.
