Aston Martin's First Standalone US Home Lists at $19.5M in Hudson Valley

At $19,500,000, Sylvan Rock is the first standalone residence designed in partnership with Aston Martin to hit the open market. The 55-acre estate sits in New York's Hudson Valley, less than two hours from Manhattan.

The price, set by Jason Karadus of Corcoran Country Living, covers a fully furnished property co-designed by Aston Martin's design team and the local firm S3 Architecture. "It's the most significant modern home in the Hudson Valley," Karadus said. "It's also the first single residence in the world designed in partnership with Aston Martin, and it's a privilege to be the ones representing that story."

What does $19.5M actually buy?

The main house measures 7,773 square feet and packs in four bedrooms, five full baths, and two half baths. The parcel sits at 165 Woody Row Road, Red Hook, Dutchess County. At the listed price, the main house alone works out to roughly $2,500 per square foot.

Three self-contained guesthouses and an architect-designed treehouse stand elsewhere on the site. Outdoor amenities include a 50-foot swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen, a tennis and sports court, a spring-fed pond, and walking and biking trails. Inside, owners get a gym, spa, movie theatre, office suite, wine storage, and a subterranean garage built to display a car collection. The Catskills rise in the distance. No neighbours do.

How did a carmaker's design team end up shaping a roof in Red Hook?

Aston Martin began exploring private real estate roughly six years ago. Its Miami apartment tower was already underway when the company spun up a quieter service called "Automotive Galleries and Lairs" for one-off homes. The first project, N°001 Minami Aoyama in Tokyo, finished in 2025. Sylvan Rock is the second.

S3 Architecture, the Hudson Valley firm, drew the house around the rocky outcrop that gives the property its name. A faceted metal roof snakes across multiple volumes and dips to the ground at the entry to form a covered carport. Beneath that roof, the envelope switches between blackened cedar and full-height glazing, so the forest reaches into every room.

Christopher Dierig of S3 Architecture laid out the logic: "When designing, we always let the land speak first and respond to it. The roofline mimics the jagged edges of the rock ledge reaching down into the earth, as if the home is born of and launching from the landscape."

Why is Aston Martin designing houses at all?

For Cathal Loughnane, the former Head of Aston Martin Partnerships, the project extends the brand's design language past the showroom. "The team wanted the owner and their guests to experience the three-dimensional feel of the house in an organic way, just like you experience one of Aston Martin's cars," he said. "There is no single façade that dominates. Sylvan Rock is a strong marriage of design sensibilities. Creating a luxury residence with warm textures, bold forms, and exceptional privacy is very aligned with Aston Martin's vision."

Inside, that ethos runs deep. Key reception rooms stretch to raised ceilings. Every major piece of furniture was built in collaboration with the Aston Martin team. The result reads as an automotive flagship translated into residential scale.

What's the broader test?

Sylvan Rock now sits on the open market with no public timeline from the broker. The N°001 Minami Aoyama residence in Tokyo, completed in 2025, was the first finished "Lair" design. With Sylvan Rock, Aston Martin's residential portfolio moves from completed commissions to publicly priced listings. The asking price becomes the first market measure of how an automaker's design signature translates into real estate value.
