Having lived in Dutchess County all my life, I know that most people from the NYC area have long considered us to be "upstate."  Well, we're not upstate, nor are we Westchester-North.  What we are is a great place to live.  We are in the Hudon Valley, most of which is right on the banks of the Hudson River.  We have a wealth of culture (Hyde Park and all the Roosevelts and VanDerbilts, West Point, Vassar College, Bard College, Culinary Institute of America, DIA in Beacon, and the list goes on.)  We have many tourtist attractions like the Rhinebeck Aerodome, The Balloon Festival, The Sloop Festival, Pick your own Farms, one of the largest flea markets in the northeast at Stormville.  We have a great deal of open space where the zoning in some towns is a minimum of 5 acres.  We also have great residential resale homes on smaller parcels.  We have great transportation, both public and private.  There are 3 metro-north stations in Dutchess County, Poughkeepsie, New Hamburg and Beacon.  We have route 84 that cuts the county east and west and the Taconic State Pkwy that cuts it north and south.  We have great schools, both public and private.  I could go on and on.

What I'm trying to say is that Dutchess County is a great place to live and work.  It is a great place to make new friends and it is all within an easy distance to everything that could mean anything to anyone.  We even have an international airport right across the river in Newburgh-Stewart International Airport

Come take a tour.  This is a great time to visit the county.  The Millbrook Wine trail is in full swing.  All the Christmas tree farms are operational on weekends.  Business is booming in both the malls and the small boutiques in the individual towns. The restaurants are waiting for you. AND..................................... there are many homes on the market just waiting for buyers who come for a visit and decide they want to stay.  I am always available to show you your first home, your last home or any home in between.  All you have to do is call.
