Jenni Kayne’s Impeccably Revamped Hudson Valley Estate Changes Hands

Tucked in Tivoli, New York, a reimagined country farmhouse just sold for $2.4 million after it listed for $2.85 million this summer. While there are many beautiful Upstate New York estates that come and go on the market, what makes this quiet escape special is that designer and entrepreneur Jenni Kayne was the seller.

Kayne, who is known for her eponymous luxury lifestyle brand, redesigned the delightful estate with a 2,150-square-foot main house, brightening things up and curating it with pieces from her home collection. She and her team balanced the dark, moody exterior paint with neutral, laidback interiors in line with her signature aesthetic of natural textures and California-style understated elegance.

Outside, the five-acre property also encourages serenity and a clear mind. The landscape is an oasis of calm, complete with a shimmering pool, a thoughtfully planned potager garden, a glass greenhouse repurposed as a spa sanctuary, a Swedish sauna, a wood-fired hot tub, and an Alaskan cold plunge—all a reflection of Kayne’s appreciation for wellness and slow living, which certainly enticed the buyers.

A young, international family living in New York City purchased the Hudson Valley residence to use as a getaway. “The location was a key factor because it sits between Hudson and Rhinebeck. When combined with the thoughtful interior design and the exceptionally solid craftsmanship, the appeal of this property became clear,” listing agent Raj Kumar of Sotheby’s International Realty shares on what attracted them here.
