JLF Architect in partnership with Big-D Signature has designed this modern rustic retreat located in the bucolic Hudson River Valley neighborhood of Snedens Landing, New York. Snedens Landing is a secluded enclave in the Palisades, perched high up along the Hudson River and just under an hour’s drive from Manhattan. For the project team, the concept behind this serene escape from city living was to capture the dramatic river views while preserving the old-growth forest.
The architect designed the weathered slatted fence and stone gate to mark the entrance to this understated country retreat. The bluff-top location inspired an open-plan linear layout. A shingled-roof central form nods to the site’s original cottage, while contemporary glass flanks the reclaimed vertical-siding entry, drawing in sunlight and offering views of the Hudson beyond.

What We Love: This Hudson River Valley retreat provides its inhabitants with a peaceful escape surrounded by countryside and boasting sweeping views of the river. Large expanses of glazing help to take advantage of the scenic views surrounding the home while also bathing the interior spaces with natural light. Overall, we love so many features in this home, from the charming breakfast nook to the cozy fireplace in the owner’s bedroom and the beautiful mix of rustic materials used throughout the design.
