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

MILLERTON — Drivers passing through Millerton should expect delays on Main Street/Route 44 around Park Avenue as a Water Department crew works to repair a leak under the westbound lane.

Interim Superintendent of Public Works Joe Olenik said the work will begin around 5 p.m. tonight, Nov. 3, and he expects repairs to be finished by midnight. “There’s concrete under that, so it’s going to take a little longer,” Olenik said, pointing to a picture of the puddle that has accumulated on Route 44 because of the leak. “It’s not just blacktop and dirt.”
