Mansion on the Hudson River slashes asking price by $20M

A sleek mansion on the Hudson River and its surrounding 10 acres that hit the market in 2021 is now offering a deep discount.

The 14,800-square-foot home at 46 Ledgerock Lane originally asked $45 million, but can now be had for $25 million, according to a press release.

Fredrik Eklund and John Gomes, co-founders of Eklund|Gomes at Douglas Elliman are teaming up with John Oliveira and Stacey Pinkas, co-founders of the Oliveira Pinkas team at Douglas Elliman as the listing agents.

The home lives up to its street address name, sitting on a rocky outcropping in Hyde Park that extends into the river. Homes built today must be at least 100 feet from shore.

The rock ledge was home to three connected buildings when Monica and Jacob Frydman bought the property. They demolished those structures and built the house on the existing footprint.

The Army Corps of Engineers built a seawall and the house sits on bedrock and cement footers in the Hudson.

The home was designed by architect Lee Ledbetter and sits at the end of a quarter-mile driveway. It includes large glass walls to maximize views of the river. Inside, amenities include a pool, theater, spa, two-story library and a gym.

Fossilized French limestone and African woods “warm up the house,” Karadus said.

There is also a saltwater pool out back, a sculpture garden and 5,000 square feet of decks. The grounds include a 2,500-square-foot guest house, a staff apartment and an 18-car garage.

Even with a significant discount, the sale would still easily outpace the Dutchess County record of $18.4 million, set in 2011 by a Millbrook estate.
