Owner's Profile
Owner Description
My husband and I live and work in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. He's a professor of mathematics, and I'm a freelance writer.
Why the Owner Chose High Falls
We fell in love with the area years ago, when we started traveling up with friends from Chelsea Piers to go climbing. Soon our friends had children and everybody started buying second homes in the area. We decided to start looking for places in the spring of 2004. In the spring of 2006, we purchased a house that we felt like would be perfect for our needs. It was close to friends in High Falls and New Paltz and Rosendale. Just minutes from the park and preserve we'd grown to cherish. Yet it was on the other side of the mountain so it had a great woodsy and weekend-y feel to it. It was also contemporary, functional and low maintenance.
The Unique Benefits of this House
We come up on weekends with the kids to hike, bike, swim, cook and see friends. We love to pick apples and pumpkins and run through the corn maze in the fall at markets like the Wallkill, Jenkins and Calder Family Farm. My kids also like to play in the hay maze at Davenports. Hike to Sky Top and boulder around Bonticou.
We go to Beso in New Paltz (it was written up in the WSJ two weeks ago) and 36 Main whenever we can get a night off.
In the winter we ski at Hunter or Bell-Aire. When family and friends come to town we take them to the DIA in Beacon and the FDR house and Vanderbilt mansions. We've also done cruises down the Hudson and trips to Red Hook and Hudson for antiques.
