Winter is a quiet time, time for all of us to think how best to move forward into the new era. Some buyers who have been studying the state of our economy for the past year, have decided that now would be an excellent time to purchase properties, as mortgage rates and prices have fallen substantially. Those sellers who are planning to move to other communities have reduced the asking price of their homes, to accommodate current market conditions, making such properties a great value. Here are some of the unique properties that we care for, that may interest you and your family:
Two elevators rise to a gated Art Gallery entrance to a 5000 square foot, penthouse with exhilarating 360 degree views of the Hudson River and the riverside town of Nyack. The price has been reduced to $1,300,000. GHVMLS# 397955.
A 2200 sq ft rental studio space with hardwood flooring, located behind the historic Blauvelt Library, might serve as an opportunity for a dance studio or for other creative uses. Priced at $3483/mo. GHVMLS# 458535.
In Warwick, you may wish to visit the beautifully restored and enhanced stone and clapboard, “1776 Horton-Sayer House” set in a peaceful 5 acre garden. Priced at $1,399,000. GHVMLS# 454549.
Another historic property that may interest you is the 150 year old, “Currier and Ives” style home and large red barn, located in a garden with serene views of a nature preserve and Lake DeForest. Priced at $696,000. GHVMLS# 457403.
The good news is that even though some might view this season as slow, two of our other listed properties have just had their positive inspections and are going into contract this month.
We invite you to visit our web sites to explore all of the real estate offerings in our area- at www.masonsamett.com and www.christiesgreatestates.com.

NOVEMBER 2008
Dear Friends, Old and New,
The leaves are floating quietly, a good time to reflect on the beauty of nature and the future needs of your family. We invite you to explore the many residential treasures available in the Greater Hudson Valley area we represent. Our firm represents some wonderful historic properties, as well as those that represent the finest design of subsequent eras.
Our newest gem is the beautifully restored and enhanced, circa 1776, “Horton-Sayer Homestead set in a peaceful 5 acre garden within driving distance to the artistic town center of Warwick. It is said to have been built by Benjamin Horton, a direct descendent of Barnabas Horton who came to America in 1635. Benjamin was a Captain in the Colonial troops during the French and Indian Wars.
Another period jewel is The Freedom House, a 1749 historic treasure in Piermont on Hudson, recently restored by the history preservationist/owner. This pre-Revolutionary War era home is an integrated part of the area’s history. It is said that it may have served as a hideout for Aaron Burr after he killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. More recently it served as the home of John Crawford, one of Jim Henson’s former puppet makers.
The owner of Freedom House also serves as the creator of a future program for children at the Rockland Center for the Arts, an exciting series of baseball coaching events by local professional players
Two updated modern gems we care for are just 20 minutes to the G. Washington bridge-a 10 room modern gem surrounding a spa-pool centered, woodland garden in Palisades and a 12 room, skylit, home within sight of their private soccer field!

Please feel free to contact us by phone, fax or e-mail and a member of our team will create a personalized tour of the areas and properties that best suit your needs and dreams.

Dear Friends, Old and New,
This is a good time for us to reflect on the generosity and good will of citizens in our communities who are striving to make this a better world for us all.
Those of us who are passionate about the growth of our cultural facilities are thrilled by the generous donation of land by the owners of the Davies Farm Complex, which will be used as the rural destination site for the creation of an enhanced facility for the growing needs of the Rockland Center for the Arts.
Scientific research and endeavors by two, respected architect and builder teams, will be showcased at separate European flavored, “Green Communities”, where the creation of the homesteads will help curtail the diminishment of our natural resources. One complex is situated in the rural area of Warwick, New York and the other is being created in a historic area of Orangeburg, New York.
For those who would love the pleasure of a homestead that allows for equestrian family activities, we have two properties that might suit your needs.
One is a Feng Shui-inspired, gated family estate in Snedens Landing, set in a 3 acre woodland garden with adjoining pool, patios, horse barn and paddocks.
The other is located in Warwick, on a large 27 acre property with a luxury homestead surrounded by a solar panel, heated pool, terraces, a caretaker’s cottage, a six stall barn with an indoor arena, corrals and fenced paddocks.
We invite you to explore our new web site to view the many real estate offerings and cultural activities available in our Lower Hudson Valley communities. Please feel free to contact us by phone, fax or e-mail and a member of our team will create a personalized tour of the areas and communities that best suit your needs. We look forward to listening to your dreams and helping you achieve them!

Spring 2008 Newsletter
Dear Friends, Old and New,
While strolling through the spring time gardens surrounding the Tappan pond, I thought of some of the many reasons we enjoy living in our area. Perhaps you might be thinking of moving to such a community that is close to the excitement of New York City while maintaining its special character of country living combined with cultural, recreational and scientific events and enhancements.
The following events may interest you and your family. We invite you to ask questions about these events and then visit and enjoy them with us.
We look forward to the annual Columbia University Public Lecture series at the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory which is open to area residents from kindergarten to retirement age. Dr. Griffith will be speaking on May 18 on the topic, CLIMATE IS CHANGING OUR FORESTS AND PLANTS.
The Rockland Center for the Arts has scheduled an American Rep Ballet Theater Party on May 9, 2008 at Symphony Space to present-STARRY NIGHTS, the 80th work of our neighbor, ballerina/choreographer, Lisa Larkin. It is based upon three paintings by Vincent Van Gogh.
Looking towards the future, we are working with fine builders who are building GREEN in Grandview, Orangeburg and Warwick, for those families thinking to improve the lives of our families and the world.
Investigating the treasures of our past, we are presenting Freedom House, a circa 1749 historic treasure that is an integrated part of our area's history. It has recently been restored by award winning preservationist. It is said to have served as a hideout by Aaron Burr after he killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel and recently was home to artist Carlotta Petrina, and to John Crawford, one of Jim Henson’s former puppet makers.
We invite you to explore our web site, to find all of the real estate offerings in the Lower Hudson Valley, as well as some of our unique listings on the sites of the New York Times, at www.nytimes.com, and CHRISTIE'S GREAT ESTATES, at www.christiesgreatestates.com .
