My favorite Hudson Valley property right now...

I just previewed this really AMAZING home yesterday and had to get the word out for the listing agent. This home is on almost 18 private country acres and it feels like you are in your own private park. The house is surrounded by a small creek, (that never flooded) that winds all around your home with paths alongside and small bridges that go over it. The inside of the house feels like a warm SOLID home that has a HUGE fireplace so you won't care when the plow guy ever shows up! I was really surprised to see it priced at only $439,000, (I was guessing much HIGHER)! I know this won't be on the market long, so call me so I can show it to you! I told the agent the pictures don't do justice and she should hire a professional to capture all the extras this house has.

Esopus, NY is about 90 miles north of Manhattan, but worlds away. It's a beautiful area of mountains that are along side the Hudson River. I love to bring friends from out of town so see a lot of the great parks in Esopus like Black Creek Preserve...

The famous women's rights and abolitionist Sojourner Truth lived in Esopus her first 32 years, and there is a small memorial park for her on 9W in town.

The writer John Borroughs also lived in Esopus at Slabslides. Slabsides is a really great place to see and understand Mr. Burrough's inspiration from nature there.
