rhinebeck: Hudson Valley Fall Colors a few of my favorite scenes
- 11/04/18 11:41 PM
Fall in the Hudson Valley in 2018
This is a scene on River Road which runs between Red Hook and Rhinebeck. It is called River Road because the Hudson River is nearby. On this road are some beautiful estates right on the banks of the river.
This is a scene from Blithewood on the Bard College campus, showing the Catskills and Hudson River.
Love this burst of yellow outside a nursing home on River Road.
A couple weeks ago I thought the Fall season would be a total bust but things turned around.
On Saturday it rained and there was a strong wind so these scenes no longer … (12 comments)

rhinebeck: Wordless Wednesday - Horse Country Stanfordville NY
- 12/02/09 12:37 PM
You might be saying where are the horses? although not seen in this exquisite view ,Stanfordville is horse country. Recently I was previewing properties in the area for a client looking for a second home in the country and every other property seemed to have horses. The area in which I was looking had property size from 10 acres up.
Stanfordville is a popular area for second homes. I suspect it is so popular because of the open space, beautiful views and it's proximity to Rhinebeck and Millbrook.

rhinebeck: Saturday night in Rhinebeck with my boys
- 10/18/08 03:24 PM
This morning I made a reservation for dinner at the restaurant at the Rhinecliff Hotel. Let me back up a bit; for our 25th wedding anniversary in 2006 our children gave us a gift certificate to this restaurant. The opening of the hotel had been delayed and today was the first time since it opened that we could make it.
The trip to the restaurant should have been rather short however there was a lot going on in Rhinebeck this weekend. The largest event was the Sheep and Wool Festival at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds. I had a couple of routes I could have … (25 comments)

rhinebeck: Rhinebeck and Red Hook residents make sure You have a CO before listing your home
- 08/06/08 02:01 PM
Yes there was a time way back when, when a homeowner could make changes to a structure and did not have to answer to the town. Those days are long gone and today most towns have a zoning code enforcement office.
For many, the code enorcement officer is a person a homeowner would rather not see, but, if you own a home you will have to interface with the code enforcement office.
You might ask why have such an office? This became necessary because we became more safety conscious. Here are just a few situations code enforcement could prevent.

rhinebeck: Milan's Fork In The Road
- 03/02/08 10:27 AM
This is not an illusion- you are really seeing a fork in the road. This sculpture is usually used as a reference point when giving people directions to Red Hook or Rhinebeck. Say, you are on the Taconic State Parkway and would would like to get to Rhinebeck. You would get off at the Rhinebeck exit and take a left on Route 199 in Milan to the first light where the road literally forks; go left and you would be on Route 308 which would take you to the village of Rhinebeck or continue to the right on Route 199 and … (11 comments)

Dutchess County EMS and Fire Departments
When moving to a new area it is also important to checkout the emergency medical services in place and the location of the fire departments.
These days, before you can even close on a house the insurance company is also interested in knowing where your new home will be located in relationship to the fire house. The closer you are the cheaper your insurance will be. Some of us who want a more quiet life will be willing to fork over a few extra dollars just to be further away.

We are now more than three quarters into 2007 and the Rhinebeck area still has a good amount of active listings.
The lowest price listing is: $37,000

There are 12 accepted offers, 8 properties in contract,
25 properties were sold.
Lowest:$ 68,000

Most of the sold properties were sold for less than the listing price. Only one property was sold at listing price, and one above listing price.
There was one new construction that was reduced to almost half; a drop of $585,650. This is not typical, so, buyers should not expect to find bargains like this.

rhinebeck: Dutchess County Real Estate Market Report August 07
- 09/16/07 01:29 PM
August again saw a drop in sales of single family detached homes. At the same time there was an increase in both inventory and days on the market.
On the other hand Condos and townhouses saw increase in the number of units sold and a reduction in the number of days on the market which does indicate that more people are buying these types of properties, and the sales are happening faster. One reason for this could be these units are more affordable than single family detached properties.
