I know I'm not alone in my love of looking at houses that I could never afford on Zillow. Hell, SNL made an entire sketch about it. For me, the more outlandish the better. I've already shared this $45 million stunner on the banks of the Hudson River, as well as the Kingston castle with an actual secret underground tunnel, but since the temperatures have dropped, I've started fantasizing about something extra-fancy: luxury indoor pools.

Is there any bigger FU to nature than deciding to create your entirely own ecosystem inside your house? Sure, us regular people do it with wood stoves or radiators, but having the space and money to maintain hundreds of thousands of gallons of water so you can watch the snow fall while you do the backstroke is on an entirely different level. And speaking of levels, these Hudson Valley homes (or palaces in some cases) run the gamut from "wow, cool!" to "HOLY S***, YOU HAVE THAT IN YOUR HOUSE?!?" From Napanoch to Red Hook, let's check out the most massive, luxurious, and straight-up impressive indoor residential pools in the Hudson Valley.

This massive property has 18,000 square-feet of indoor space, so honestly they'd better have an indoor pool. And not to disappoint, the pool looks exactly how you'd expect it to:

Yup, those are pillars lining this mosaic-tiled masterpiece. I spy a hot tub, too (Tony Montana not included).

You can read more about this massive estate and why it is no longer a legal house, but not only do they have an outdoor pool, but an indoor one as well. Is this the first residential pool with a view of another pool?

Taking a look at its exterior, would you suspect that there's an OLYMPIC-sized pool hiding inside? You finally have an excuse to invite Michael Phelps over to hang out.

One of my best friends when I was growing up lived in Napanoch, but unfortunately not here (sorry dude). This "modest" 5,600 square-foot home has amazing views on the outside and a pool on the inside.
