TOP OF MT MERINO… Spectacular views of the majestic Hudson River, the Catskill Mountains, as well as the Berkshires and Blue Hill, can be seen from this seven-acre building site at the highest point of Mt Merino. See the ever changing views of the mountains and river from sunrise to sunset throughout the seasons. These views were highly prized by the nineteenth century Hudson River School of painters, including Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, and Sanford Gifford (see Gifford painting, above). This is a very special property that provides an opportunity to build your own home in a secluded spot at the end of a private dead end road, at "the center of the world" as Church described nearby Olana… $450,000
