In February 11, 2026, The Sisters of St. Ursula of the Blessed Virgin of New York (Sisters) released a public Request for Proposals for the sale of their 51-acre, historic waterfront property located at 50-77 Linwood Road in the Town of Rhinebeck, NY. The Sisters seek proposals from real estate development teams that can deliver the highest market value for the Property while respecting its natural beauty and historic context, the Sisters’ mission and values of diversity, education, and service, and the Town of Rhinebeck’s small-town character and planning priorities. Given the Property’s history and the desire to facilitate appropriate reuse of the Property, the Town of Rhinebeck is collaborating with the Sisters in the disposition process, including the evaluation of proposals and cooperation to the extent legally permissible in the local land use process. Site Details: The Linwood Property – home to the Linwood Spiritual Center for the past 60 years – provides a one-of-a-kind development opportunity in the Hudson Valley, offering panoramic views of the Hudson River, lush and tranquil open space, and well-maintained historic buildings, all less than 10 minutes from the charming Village of Rhinebeck and less than two hours from New York City by train or car. Over the past several decades, few waterfront sites of this scale have come to market in the region, which has seen tremendous growth in the hospitality market, supported by well-established cultural, culinary, ecological, and wellness destinations.
