From the Listing: "Set on 21 private acres in Rhinebeck, this extraordinary architectural estate rises alongside a waterfall on the Landsman Kill. Water passes over an early 1900s dam and plunges approximately 60 feet into a basin below, placing the drama of the landscape at the very center of the home. The late architect Steve Mensch discovered the site in winter and understood its power immediately. Rather than impose a single monumental structure on the setting, he conceived a collection of four copper-roofed buildings linked by covered walkways and stone paths. The result draws on modernist, Japanese, and Balinese traditions while feeling entirely specific to this place. Built of steel and cement alongside the dam, the main house turns a familiar floor plan upside down. The kitchen and living spaces occupy the upper level, where fully retractable glass walls open the room to the sight and sound of the falls. The primary suite lies below, followed by two additional guest sleeping areas, with a media room on the ground floor. Throughout, the architecture invites a close connection to the water while maintaining the quiet, contemplative atmosphere Mensch envisioned."
