About the host

Hosted by Robert J. LaCosta

Host profile image
My wife and I own a hearing aid practice and as an avocation, I am a writer. You can see a bit of our home's view in the YouTube, "Love Goes Viral," written during the pandemic. It is one of a couple thousand songs I've written. I am a local columnist for our papers, an author of several books, I've written screenplays and continue to blog inspirational devotionals usually from the perch in the cupola or seated on the back porch.

Why they chose this property

The Hudson River is stunning...every moment of every day and in every season. The wildlife treats us like family. The historic home was built by a Brooklyn owner of an ice company at the turn of the century. The gardens, back porch, trails, cupola...it just goes on and on.

What makes this property unique

The house has a wrap-around porch where you can view sunrises, birds (my wife is their benefactor) and the wildlife that calls our beautiful and peaceful place "home." This is a chill-house if ever there was one. Guests frequently mention its beauty and peace. It is absolutely removed and yet convenient.
