Recent property sales in the Town of Amenia

Recent property sales in the Town of Amenia

This building at 18 Furnace Road located in the hamlet of Wassaic on 0.2 acres was sold for $32,000 in 2020, then renovated and resold for $400,000 in January 2024.

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

320 Wood Duck Road, a vacant 0.41-acre building lot in Silo Ridge Field Club, sold for $1,851,850

4 Wilcox Drive, a commercial property with four apartments and five mobile homes on 0.72 acres, sold for $701,500

Dog owners know the dilemma: You’re out for the day with your four-legged sidekick when hunger strikes. Fortunately, a number of area restaurants, cafés and breweries welcome dogs, mostly at outdoor tables. Policies and outdoor seating can change with the season, so calling ahead is always a good idea.

The White Hart and Provisions in Salisbury is particularly pet-friendly. The inn welcomes pets on request, and its front porch and sprawling lawn make inviting places to settle in with a canine companion. They even welcome well-behaved patrons — bipedal and quadruped alike — in the cozy dining area.

“It’s unbelievable that this sweet, loving boy hasn’t found his home yet,” said Tiffany Lemelin, shelter manager of The Little Guild, whose mission is to rescue, love and heal homeless cats and dogs. She smiled at the small dog wagging his tail. “This is one of the most deserving dogs you could ever meet, with so much love to give.”

Marsala is an energetic, 1-year-old, 45-pound black Labrador mix waiting to be adopted. He arrived March 25 as a stray named “Chicken” from Toccoa, Georgia.

Meade Canine Rescue and Sanctuary is not the average rescue. Situated on a quiet dirt road on 8 acres in Wingdale, the dogs living there are, for the most part, uncaged, roaming the yard, sleeping in the house, resting in the shade of a tree or lounging in the open van that often takes them for rides.

“We go on lots of adventures,” said the rescue’s founder, Charlotte Meade.

The bear necessities of living in bear country

Take down bird feeders when bears are active. Secure garbage cans left outside, and never leave pet food or trash on porches, screened-in or otherwise.

This here is bear country. In fact, Connecticut has an unusually high rate of bear home entries compared with neighboring states. So far this year, the state has documented more than 60 home entries, and bears have been spotted in all 169 towns and cities.

Bears are also part of life in neighboring Dutchess County. But don’t worry. It’s not as bad as it sounds.
