Welcome to the Elizaville Diner & Deli, a Hudson Valley roadside treasure with a lakeside backdrop. Set on just over two picturesque acres, this mixed-use commercial property includes a restored vintage diner, a renovated deli, ample parking, and grassy fields overlooking a spring-fed quarry.
Originally built in 1956, the Elizaville Diner is the last surviving example of a Kullman Dutchess prefabricated diner car, a gleaming time capsule of American design and culture. Moved from Pennsylvania to Columbia County in 2006, just days before its scheduled demolition, the vintage steel structure was painstakingly restored and thoughtfully updated with a creative eye for both design and functionality. With its chrome exterior, terrazzo floors, vintage jukebox, and classic mid-century booths, the diner has since become a sought-after film and photography location, featured in productions like Jim Jarmusch's The Dead Don't Die and the Apple TV+ series Brightside.
Next door, the renovated deli offers a wide-open interior and flexible floor plan ideal for events, pop-ups, or expanded food service. With large coolers and an additional kitchen featuring a passthrough to the diner, the deli offers flexibility to operate jointly or independently. The property includes three bathrooms, a full cement basement for storage, and parking for up to 40 cars. Out back, a spring-fed quarry lake includes water frontage and partial lake access, an uncommon feature in a commercial property.
Just over the Red Hook border and minutes from Tivoli, the location is surrounded by popular farm destinations like Rose Hill Farm, Greig Farm, and Lasting Joy Brewery. This rare offering invites endless possibilities. Imagine outdoor events by the lake, curated retail in the deli, live music and chef pop-ups, or a multi-use venue drawing guests from Hudson, Rhinebeck, and New York City. With scenic views, vintage character, and turnkey functionality, the Elizaville Diner & Deli is a one-of-a-kind property ready for its next inspired chapter.
