Riverby, Estate and National Historic Landmark in Esopus, New York
Riverby estate extends across multiple acres along the Hudson River, featuring a stone house constructed from local materials and surrounded by agricultural land.
John Burroughs established Riverby in 1873 after acquiring nine acres, later expanding to include additional land where he cultivated grapes and currants.
The estate represents the period when the Hudson Valley attracted naturalists and writers who sought connections between agriculture, literature, and environmental appreciation.
Current owners maintain private ownership of the divided estate, requiring advance arrangements and permissions for any potential visits to the property.
The property includes several structures built over different periods, including The Nest and Roxy, which features a three-level design with a lookout tower.
