AMENIA — The median price of a single-family home in Amenia rose 21.5% year over year, reaching $389,000 for the 12 months ending July 31, 2026.

A year earlier, the median over the same 12-month period was $320,000, while the comparable figure in 2024 was $345,000. The current median is 12.8% higher than it was two years ago.

The figures exclude sales pertaining to the Silo Ridge Field Club, where multimillion-dollar properties occupy a substantially different segment of the market.

While Amenia home prices increased sharply from a year earlier, the number of homes sold changed little. Excluding Silo Ridge, 27 single-family homes sold during the 12 months ending July 31, up from 25 during the preceding 12-month period.

There were 31 sales during the 12 months ending July 31, 2024. The latest total remained within Amenia’s historical range of approximately two to three home sales per month.

Fifteen single-family homes were publicly listed for sale in Amenia in early September. Seven were priced below the current median of $389,000.

Silo Ridge has accounted for most of the money changing hands in Amenia’s real estate market this year. Public and private transactions in the town totaled approximately $25 million for the year through July 31. Eight Silo Ridge sales represented about 80% of that volume, or approximately $20 million.

Wassaic Project co-founder Eve Biddle presents her “Field Notes”

Artist Eve Biddle and Tremaine Gallery Director Terri Moore.

D.H. Callahan

On Wednesday, Sept. 2, the Tremaine Gallery at the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville opened its new show, “Field Notes,” with works by multidisciplinary artist Eve Biddle.

Biddle is best known in the area as one of the founders of the iconic Wassaic Project in the hamlet of Wassaic, New York. The project, which is part art incubator, part gallery, part studio and a whole lot of community, is housed in an old converted grain elevator right next to the Metro North train tracks. It’s credited by many as the spark that revitalized the hamlet, which now boasts a craft bakery, a curated wine and liquor store, a pizza hot spot, the Lantern.

Artist Victor Cella with his recent painting “White Dog” in his studio and shop, Little Store Antiques in Great Barrington.

L. Tomaino
If I taught art, I’d teach it in a different way. I could teach it as an awareness — how to free yourself up.
— Victor Cella

Paintings by Victor Cella of a blue dog, a flower still life and a colorful abstract greet visitors as they mount the steps to The Little Store, an antique shop he runs with his husband, John Ortisi, at 88 Main St. in Great Barrington, Mass.

The shop is filled not only with antiques but also with Cella’s paintings. People stop by to see what Cella is currently painting and to talk with him. He is known for his amiability as well as his paintings.

Fear and Loathing in the Woodland

Fear and Loathing in the Woodland

Fear and Loathing in the Woodland Japanese barberry, an invasive shrub with thorny branches, provides shelter for mice and can contribute to conditions that allow tick populations to thrive.

I am tempting tick-bite fate by writing this, even from the safety of my office.

Eight people emailed me with a link to the New York Times article on ticks that ran in the Aug. 20 magazine section.My Instagram algorithm made sure that I saw the same story several times over.The article, “The Summer the Ticks Took Over,” by Benjamin Wallace reads like a horror story, engendering a kind of paranoia that sidewalk-hugging New Yorkers can easily fall prey to.The reader comments enhance the author’s terror and fall into key categories: readers who are living proof of the sometimes harrowing, life-altering consequences of a tick bite; readers’ instructive life hacks against ticks (“permethrin is your friend”); readers’ collective chant to kill the deer; and, finally, readers who question why anyone would ever go in the woods again.
