Midwood Majestically sited high on a bluff along the Hudson River, the historic estate known as "Midwood" is an enduring legacy of the Livingston family. Built in the 1880s, the riverside mansion is the focal point of the property and its stately facade looks out on the dazzling panorama of ever-changing Hudson River and Catskill Mountain views. Elaborate architectural details are found throughout the 11,000 sq feet of living area which includes 10 bedrooms (many with fireplaces), double front parlor, gracious foyer, high ceilings, handsome three-story staircase, and so much more. The porches, balconies, and tower room offer ample opportunities for observing the breathtaking scenic vistas from a variety of vantage points. The sprawling estate spans 80 acres with a combination of rolling lawns and attractive woodlands that form an idyllic, parklike setting. The property is completely private with a long, meandering driveway that leads to the main house as well as a unique silo guest cottage, a carriage house with separate living quarters, and a three-bedroom farmhouse with unobstructed river views. The grounds include a gunite pool, tennis court, and direct waterfront access via a historic iron bridge that leads to the property's boat house and kayak launch. Midwood has riparian rights dating back to 1889 that go with the property - a rarity for homes along the Hudson River. Midwood is located within a picturesque area of Clermont and is part of the Clermont Estates Historic District, an uninterrupted string of significant historic properties "unique in the nation".
