About 111 Miller Road
Welcome to Kanso Cottage Estate, a historic Hudson Valley retreat with roots stretching back to the late 1800s. Once part of a boys’ camp and originally built by Dutch settlers, this park-like 16-acre estate in Churchtown includes three dwellings–the stone main house, a stone guest cottage, and a green guest cabin–along with additional structures including a pool house with outdoor shower and a potting shed. Rolling hills with fruit trees, terraced gardens, and a seasonal stream, lead to a heated gunite pool and a half basketball court. Set on a quiet road that loops through picturesque farmland, the enchanting property has been reimagined for modern living while retaining its timeless character.
At the heart of the property is the stone main house, where wide-plank floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and sunlit dining room create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The dining room opens onto a private pea stone courtyard, perfect for entertaining or morning coffee. The kitchen is outfitted with a Bertazzoni gas range, stone counters, and new appliances. Upstairs, the primary suite opens onto a private balcony and features a newly renovated bath with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. A second bedroom and flexible adjoining room provide space for guests, a nursery, or a generous walk-in closet.
Two additional guest dwellings extend the property’s charm. The stone cottage includes a fireplace, electric heat, and cedar deck overlooking a magnificent 200-year-old oak tree. A short stroll beyond, the board-and-batten green cabin offers a kitchenette, full bath, and open living/sleeping quarters anchored by a wood stove and pine floors and illuminated by a skylight, with views towards the open acreage.
Outdoors, the property unfolds like a storybook. A heated gunite pool with its own heated pool house and outdoor shower is surrounded by flowering gardens and newly planted apple and cherry trees. A half basketball court, vegetable garden, and hidden paths winding past century-old oaks and a stream that traces the edge of the property offer endless opportunities for recreation and exploration. Recent upgrades include a new roof on two guest houses, extensive landscaping, and refinished interiors, which have brought thoughtful comfort to this historic setting. Located on a quiet country road just 15 minutes from Hudson and Amtrak, Kanso Cottage Estate offers the best of both worlds: total privacy and the ability to immerse yourself in Hudson’s dining, art, and cultural scene. Currently a successful short-term rental, the property offers new owners the flexibility to continue its income-producing potential, enjoy it as a private compound, or both.
