Dramatically situated on the edge of 50-foot Buttermilk Falls in Rhinebeck, this home was designed by the architect owner, who aimed to integrate the house with the dam. Featuring wood, glass and copper, the home is accompanied by the sounds of the water and foliage throughout. The main home has a glass-walled living room and three bedrooms; additional copper-roofed pavilions include the separate music studio and three-story architect's studio building, which are connected by delicate bridges and paths. The work-of-art property is also very private — no surrounding neighbors, just water. Listed for $9.75 million by Heather Croner Real Estate.
