For over 300 years, the storied landscape of the lower Hudson River villages has captured our imagination. A center for commerce through the mid-1800's, the overpowering beauty of the river gradually attracted great writers and artists to the area beginning with legendary author Washington Irving whose writings first brought the Hudson Valley to international renown. Late in the 19th century, the area became a favored destination for New York's elite who came to build their opulent mansions along the river. From Washington Irving and his romantic cottage Sunnyside, to robber baron, Jay Gould and his grand Gothic Revival mansion, Lyndhurst, the rare beauty of this treasured landscape has been forever sought after.
The same enviable lifestyle available to a priveledged few in bygone days is still achievable today at the area's newest destination, Emerald Woods. A luxuriant landscape with gently rolling hills, a sparkling pond and majestic centuries-old trees, this tranquil community has been designed with great respect for its rural past.
Employing selective clearing with an eye to preserving magnificent old trees and reserving common open space, this sylvan setting provides an incomparable backdrop for Emerald Woods' spectacular collection of country estates. Elegantly detailed and grandly scaled, these masterfully crafted residences will be skillfully sited on 34 acres, insuring great privacy while preserving the rural character of the beautiful surroundings.
Stroll past towering sugar maples that have shaded this gentle knoll for over a century, picnic aside the glistening pond or watch the vividly colored sunsets that make a regular appearance over the Hudson River landscape. All the pleasures of country living are at your doorstep at Emerald Woods, the Rivertowns' new hidden treasure |
