The most expensive home for sale in Hillsdale, New York, a rural town in the Hudson Valley, has hit the market at a staggering $21 million. The 135-acre property, far surpasses the current priciest listing in the area, a $3.6 million, 26-acre property with a historic house built in 1904. This significant price difference shows the uniqueness and magnitude of the property, which is set to become the third-most-expensive offering in Columbia County upon its market debut this week.
A Contemporary Farmhouse with Mountain Views
The property features a contemporary-style farmhouse built in 2020, offering approximately 5,200 square feet of single-level living space. According to Jonathan Stein, co-listing agent of Douglas Elliman, the architecture was designed around the land and the views rather than imposed upon them. “The result feels highly considered, but also remarkably comfortable and livable for a residence of this scale.”
At the heart of the home is an expansive and inviting open-plan great room. This central space boasts a vaulted ceiling, a striking stone fireplace, and expansive glass walls that frame the stunning mountain views. The great room effortlessly accommodates a family room, a dining area, and a well-equipped kitchen with additional seating, creating a perfect gathering space for both intimate family moments and large-scale entertaining.
The home boasts two primary suites, plus three additional bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. These luxurious retreats offer their occupants privacy and comfort, while the additional bedrooms provide ample accommodation for guests or family members.

Private Guest Accommodations and Extensive Amenities
A separate log cabin nestled on the property serves as a guest house, adding two more bedrooms to the estate. This charming space offers guests a cozy and private retreat, while still being close enough to the main house to feel connected to the rest of the family. Additionally, a versatile carriage house features an apartment that can be used as staff quarters, a guest suite, an office, or a studio, depending on the owner’s needs.
The property offers two options for outdoor recreation and relaxation. Both an infinity pool and a serene swimming pond cater to different preferences, providing ample space for leisure and exercise. Furthermore, the estate includes a well-equipped gym, a spacious barn, a riding arena, and an extensive network of hiking trails that meander through the property’s 135 acres. These amenities cater to a wide range of interests, ensuring that residents can enjoy an active and fulfilling lifestyle.
Though the property offers loads of privacy, given its size and rural location, it is still close to larger hubs like Hudson, New York, and Great Barrington, Massachusetts, in the Berkshires. “Finding all three together, with this level of amenities, 25 minutes from both Hudson and Great Barrington, is incredibly rare,” said co-listing agent Nikki Carchedi of Stone House Properties.
The sellers were not available for comment. However, their decision to bring this remarkable property to market offers potential buyers an exceptional opportunity to own a truly unique and luxurious piece of the Hudson Valley. With its stunning architecture, unrivaled amenities, and picturesque location, the estate is poised to capture the imagination of discerning buyers seeking the ultimate in rural living.
