Two bedroom, two bathroom modern cabin on five wooded acres | 1,140 square feet | Designed by S3 Architecture | Blackened wood exterior and soaring ceilings | Wood-burning stove | Oak hardwood floors and Danish cabinetry | Two primary suites | Covered deck and outdoor entertaining space | Fully furnished and professionally managed | Co-ownership starting at $250,000 per share | Anticipated completion in 2027

Set on five wooded acres in Milan, NY, just minutes from Rhinebeck, this forthcoming modern cabin by Upstate Modernist offers a new approach to owning a Hudson Valley getaway. Designed by S3 Architecture, the two-bedroom retreat pairs contemporary architecture with natural materials, warm interiors and a shared ownership model that makes a second home more accessible.

The 1,140-square-foot home features a blackened wood exterior, soaring ceilings and an open living and dining area anchored by a wood-burning stove. A thoughtfully appointed kitchen includes Danish cabinetry and Bosch appliances, while oak hardwood floors, limewash accents and expansive woodland views bring warmth to the interiors. Two primary suites, each with its own bathroom, provide privacy for owners and guests alike.

Soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and warm natural finishes define the open living and dining space, with a wood-burning stove and deck overlooking the surrounding woodland. Rendering: Upstate Modernist.

Outside, a covered deck extends the living space into the surrounding woods, with room for outdoor entertaining and options to add a plunge pool, hot tub or sauna. The property also includes a garage, with ample storage designed to accommodate shared and seasonal use.

Offered through a co-ownership model, a $250,000 share includes more than six weeks of annual use, while a $495,000 quarter share provides approximately three months. Owners can purchase with family or friends or be matched with other vetted buyers. The home will be delivered fully furnished, with professional management handling cleaning, easy maintenance and changeovers between stays. An online scheduling portal balances peak and off-season dates, while private owner storage and optional concierge services make arriving for a weekend as simple as showing up.

Currently offered in pre-construction, the home is expected to be completed in 2027. A $50,000 initial payment secures a single share, with flexible payment plans available throughout construction and seller financing options for qualified buyers.

The Neighborhood: In + Around Milan + Rhinebeck, NY

Located in Milan, the property offers a quiet, wooded setting just outside Rhinebeck, one of the Hudson Valley’s most beloved small towns. Rhinebeck’s village center is home to independent shops, cafes, restaurants and cultural destinations, including the historic Upstate Films theater.

Nearby, the surrounding countryside offers farm markets, hiking trails and scenic backroads, while the villages of Red Hook and Tivoli provide additional options for dining and exploring. The Hudson River, Bard College and its Fisher Center for the Performing Arts are also within easy reach, making this an appealing base for weekends spent exploring the region.

Why We Love This House: A New Way to Own Upstate

For anyone who’s dreamed of owning a weekend house in the Hudson Valley, the reality of purchasing and maintaining a second property can be daunting — particularly when it might only be used a handful of weekends each season.

This co-ownership model offers an interesting alternative: the benefits of a thoughtfully designed, fully furnished retreat without taking on the entire cost or responsibility of ownership. With professional management handling everything from cleaning to maintenance, owners can spend their time Upstate actually enjoying it.

It’s an especially appealing concept for friends or family members who have considered purchasing a vacation home together, with the legal structure, scheduling and ongoing management already organized. The result is a different approach to the classic Upstate getaway — one designed around the time owners actually spend there.
