5 Luxury New York Estates from Lakefront to Hudson Valley Retreats

Along the water’s edge on West Cove Road in Greenwood Lake, this historic estate is set at the end of the corridor, where privacy and shoreline presence take center stage. The property offers 250 feet of exclusive waterfront, with a boat dock, jib hoist, boat house, and boat launch—an unusually complete suite for life on the lake. Days here can begin with boats at the ready and unfold to the rhythm of the shoreline, with panoramic vistas that keep the water in view as the light shifts. With its storied setting and a sense of arrival reserved for the very end of the road, the experience feels both grounded and quietly commanding, built around the simple luxury of direct access to the lake.

Originally built in 1940 to educate Skidmore College students and later home to the Waldorf School, this iconic Tudor landmark now lives as a collection of luxury residences at The Waldorf in Saratoga Springs.

The setting is equally compelling: just one block from Congress Park, four blocks from downtown Saratoga Springs, and less than a mile from the Saratoga Race Course. Designed for an elevated lock-and-leave lifestyle, the experience here feels both rooted in the city’s history and tuned to modern rhythms—come and go with ease, and return to a home that’s quietly polished and thoughtfully finished.
