Recent property sales in the Town of Amenia

The Millerton News will periodically publish a listing of residential real estate sales in eastern Dutchess County and adjacent towns.

In the first two months of the year, there was not one single-family home that exchanged hands in Amenia.

But there were eight closed and recorded sales of other assorted types of property: three two-family houses; one seasonal home; one commercial building; one mansion; one commercial property with apartments and mobile homes; and one piece of vacant land.

The estate sold on Kennel Road for $3,888,000 with 106.8 acres is a reminder that there are mansions in Amenia outside of Silo Ridge, and that former churches can be transformed into usable office space — albeit with very high ceilings — with the sale of 4919 Route 22 in the center of Amenia. Currently there are eight actively listed residences for sale in Amenia ranging from $25 million, with a regulation polo field, to $159,000; and 12 pieces of land ranging from 0.31 to 512 acres.

January 2024 recorded sales

3320 Route 22, a two-family 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, sold for $293,815

11 Winding Creek Lane, a two-family 4-bedroom, 4-bath home on 5 acres, sold for $435,000

18 Furnace Bank Road, a two-family 5-bedroom, 2-bath home with 1,920 square feet, sold for $400,000

4919 Route 22, a 3,562-square-foot commercial building in the center of Amenia that is a former church and grocery store, and is now used as office space.

February 2024 recorded sales

173 Kennel Road, two residences located on 106.8 acres, sold for $3,888,000

28 Bog Hollow Road, a small seasonal residence on 1 acre, sold for $160,000

When Seth Rogovoy, acclaimed author, critic, and cultural commentator of “The Rogovoy Report” on WAMC Northeast Public Radio, was asked to lead a talkback at The Triplex in Great Barrington following a screening of the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown,” he took on the task with a thoughtful and measured approach.

“I really try to foster a conversation and keep my opinions about the film to myself,” said Rogovoy before the event on Sunday, Jan. 5. “I want to let people talk about how they felt about it and then I ask follow-up questions, or people ask me questions. I don’t reveal a lot about my feelings until the end.”

On planting a Yellowwood tree

The author planted this Yellowwood tree a few years ago on some of his open space.

Fritz Mueller

As an inveterate collector of all possibly winter hardy East coast native shrubs and trees, I take a rather expansive view of the term “native”; anything goes as long as it grows along the East coast. After I killed those impenetrable thickets of Asiatic invasive shrubs and vines which surrounded our property, I suddenly found myself with plenty of open planting space.

That’s when, a few years ago, I also planted a Yellowwood tree, (Cladastris kentukea). It is a rare, medium-sized tree in the legume family—spectacular when in bloom and golden yellow in fall. In the wild, it has a very disjointed distribution in southeastern states, yet a large specimen, obviously once part of a long-gone garden, has now become part of the woods bordering Route 4 on its highest point between Sharon and Cornwall.

Even — and we realize this is strong stuff — writing poetry.
