240 Lane Gate Road, Cold Spring, NY

About 240 Lane Gate Road

Offered for lease for the first time in more than four decades, this extraordinary country estate presents a rare opportunity to experience the Hudson Highlands from one of Cold Spring’s most distinctive properties. Set on more than 11 acres, with sweeping views of the Hudson River and Bear Mountain Bridge, the property faces the 50-plus-acre Lane Gate Preserve, part of the Hudson Highlands Land Trust. The setting offers exceptional privacy, space, and connection to the surrounding landscape—all just minutes from the village of Cold Spring. Warm, expansive, and wonderfully comfortable, the house was designed for gathering. Rich wood and stone appear throughout, including reclaimed 18th-century Massachusetts barn wood that gives the interiors a timeless, character-filled quality. Thoughtfully furnished without feeling formal, the home combines comfort and personality with an easygoing country sensibility. With 6 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 1 half bathroom, the home comfortably accommodates up to 16. Multiple living spaces provide room to spread out or come together. A dramatic double-height library adds architectural character, while the main living room features an enormous, sink-in sofa and an impressive, nearly walk-in wood-burning fireplace—an inviting setting for long evenings, movie nights, and conversation around the fire. Working fireplaces are found on three levels, with ample firewood stacked in the carport. The den is made for fun and relaxation, with a regulation-size pool table that converts to ping pong and a large-screen television. A generous dining table invites lingering meals, while the screened porch serves as an outdoor living and dining room in warmer weather. From May through September, the grounds truly come alive. A large in-ground Gunite pool and adjacent hot tub are surrounded by the peaceful landscape. Behind the house, a wood-burning fire pit offers an idyllic setting for evenings under the stars. Plentiful parking comfortably accommodates eight vehicles. Begin the morning with coffee on the screened porch, spend the afternoon beside the pool or exploring nearby trails, and end the day with an unhurried dinner as the sun settles over the Hudson Highlands. Although the setting feels wonderfully removed, many of the region’s finest destinations are remarkably close.
