There’s a villa hiding in Saugerties.

Tucked down a winding road on the quieter side of town, The Villa at Saugerties evokes a scene from the Spanish hillside or Italian wine country. From the first glance, it’s evident that the estate is a diamond in the metaphorical rough. To start, there’s the picture-perfect landscape with three and a half acres of rolling, grassy yards that flow seamlessly into charming patios with bistro tables that are ideal for lounging on lazy afternoons outdoors. Then there’s the expansive 40-foot pool, a heated inground beauty that plunges to 10 feet deep at points. And that’s all before you even step foot indoors.

Cross through the threshold, and you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported to a place that is at once very far from the Hudson Valley, and yet still in the heart of it. That’s precisely how Joe Moseley and Amanda Zaslow designed it to be. The couple, who purchased the property back in 2010, dreamed of one day owning a bed and breakfast after their own unforgettable experience at one during their honeymoon in Spain. They finally got their chance when they said “yes” to the villa in 2010 and made the move from New York City to the Hudson Valley.
