About This Property
Introducing Bright Bank, a historic home built in 1855 overlooking
the Hudson River in Saugerties with a private bay and rights to
restore a deep-water dock. Bring your vision to this eight-bedroom,
7,275 square-foot mansion surrounded by almost 80 Hudson Riverfront
acres. The current owner has begun the process of restoration: The
interior has been demolished, with extreme care to preserve the
original architectural details, including original doors,
fireplaces, moldings, window carvings, radiators, the staircase,
interior shutters, and beautiful, original parquet flooring. Close
attention to detail was used when restoring the interior brick
throughout the entire home, as well. The structure is sound, with
state-of-the-art infrastructure newly in place. While the original
architectural details remain, many modern updates have been put in
place to ensure easy updating including water and gas lines, and a
new septic system. On the third floor, twin Juliette balconies were
added to enhance the timeless charm. The basement has been updated
with poured concrete and radiant heat. The new vision can be seen
in various blueprints left for the new owners and can be used as a
starting point or to be finished as planned. Bring your architect
and your designer to finish this historic mansion with your own
taste and vision for your own private riverfront estate, once
completed, worthy of the cover of Architectural Digest. The
abundant acreage with meticulous landscaping that is enhanced by
the original fountain perched between the main home and caretaker
home, gives you plenty of space for your own sanctuary, where you
can install an inground pool, tennis courts, and vegetable gardens.
For the horse lovers out there, the large horse barn has been
updated with a new foundation. The newly renovated artist studio
was once an icehouse and now has a kitchenette, half bathroom, and
spruce board floors made from a tree found on the property. Outdoor
storage is abundant with several sheds that have been updated to
great condition. Adjacent to these structures is an original
footprint of another large barn and across the path, an original
stone staircase remains. The caretaker home was built in
1948, featuring 2 beds, 1.5 bathrooms with a loft, an enclosed
bluestone patio, and a working fireplace. Moving towards the back
of the property, near the Barclay Street entrance (with remote
controlled gate), you can find a garage with an attached greenhouse
that has radiant flooring and a new gas furnace. The size of the
home, with 2 separate entrances, gives you ample opportunities to
expand. Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to
acquire a historic property with a storied history. If the
history of the estate is something you are drawn to it won't
disappoint. The use of this property dates back to the 1830s when
Henry Barclay, the namesake of Barclay Heights, created his estate
named, Ury. It is rumored that the naming of Barclay's property is
a nod to his family's ancestral home in Scotland. In 1854, Blaise
Lorillard tore down the Ury home and built the Bright Bank mansion
in 1855, this is the structure that remains today. By 1859 the
estate was purchased and enjoyed by J.B. Sheffield and his wife
Agnes of J. B. Sheffield & Son, a renowned papermill company. After
Sheffield's passing in 1878, Agnes stayed in the home until she
sold it in 1892 to Robert Mains, a brick merchant from England.
Mains had a successful brick business with brickyards along the
river in Rondout and Stockport NY, producing around 35 million
bricks a year. The property was then sold again in 1933 to Edwin
Van Etten, Dean of the Episcopal Cathedral of Boston. Then in
1943, the property was sold to Ruth and Magnus Dale, where it soon
became the Dale Sanitarium. This historic Saugerties medical
facility was able to accommodate up to 40 patients and had an
operating room and maternity/delivery room; the facility was very
advanced for its time. It is even estimated that 1,200 babies
were born under the care of Dale Sanitarium. Over time, the Dale
Sanitarium became much more than just a medical facility, but was a
self-sufficient farm as well. As Ruth Dale cared for the patients,
Magnus Dale tended to his 70 fruit trees (some of which remain
today), abundant gardens, and various farm animals. The
Sanitarium's operation came to a close in 1967, but many of the
historic additions remain like the four-story elevator and
original signs stored in the basem
