Now Seeking $1.9M, This Woodsy Hudson Valley Home Sits Across From a 500-Acre Park
151 Tweed Blvd. in Piermont, New York, is currently listed for $1,850,000 by Richard Ellis of Sotheby’s International Realty.
“Welcome to Birchwood, a trophy home in the Lower Hudson Valley, only 35 minutes from NYC, and across from a 500-acre park. An asymmetrical, fully restored modern home with striking architectural details, it’s set on a wooded mountainside facing the Hudson River, in harmony with its natural environment. The home was designed in 1970 by architect Charles Winter, who was known for building many geometric homes on precipitous sites that ‘fit’ but do not disturb their natural settings. Instead, Winter’s homes flow with their dramatic environments, in a somewhat sculptural, and monumental way. The home’s design features multiple loft-like levels, some open to other spaces/rooms, and the central core of the home is the great room. In the 1980s, architect John Cincotta, known for his green homes, further enhanced this already extraordinary home, with use of additional natural materials.”

The Bunker, located in Ventnor, Isle of Wight, is currently listed for £2,250,000 (approximately $2,834,460 USD) by The Modern House.

Resting on an acre plot and surrounded by SSSI conservation land, The Bunker looks out uninterrupted to the channel and mainland Europe beyond. The beautifully realized concept was designed by Lincoln Miles and his partner, the artist Lisa Traxler. In a meeting of art and architecture, the house makes the most of its breathtaking position with technical, material, and aesthetic innovation throughout.

The music room where Bliss created some of his most revered works, Grade II*-listed in its own right, is set deep in the ancient woodland; itself a scheduled monument. A four-bedroom guest cottage and its gardens lie due west of the main house. While retaining an overwhelming sense of quiet and seclusion, this remarkable home lies some seven miles south of Bruton and two miles from Stourhead, within easy reach of the open countryside and Somerset’s many cultural highlights.”
