Recent property sales in the Town of Pine Plains

Recent property sales in the Town of Pine Plains

This brick and concrete commercial structure at 2700 Route 199 on .72 acres sold for $220,000, the same price as its previous sale in 2015. It is currently assessed at $233,400.

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

The Town of Pine Plains may border on Washington/Millbrook, but its real estate activity is comparatively slow-paced and more affordable.

In the month of December 2023 alone, the Town of Washington, including the Village of Millbrook, recorded eight sales for a total value of $6.7 million. By contrast, in October, November and December, Pine Plains recorded only seven sales with a combined value of $2.3 million. There’s a reason that the storefronts of Church Street, Pine Plain’s main thoroughfare, are not dominated by real estate brokers’ offices, which may contribute to the authentic, rural charm of Pine Plains.

Of the total seven sales, four were single-family homes ranging from $71,183 to $751,000 on the shores of Twin Island Lake. Two commercial properties and one building lot made up the remainder. Currently there are 10 single-family homes for sale, with seven over $500,000 and six vacant land parcels ranging from $75,000 for 5 acres to $5.5 million for Dutch Schultz’s secret distillery on 343 acres.

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.

A day in the life of a rescue dog

A day in the life of a rescue dog

Marsala is eager to go home with you.

“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.
