Best of the Week

Welcome back! This week we are taking you to Gardiner, New York. Nestled in the southernmost part of the Catskills, this delightful town brims with vast reserves of protected land and an eclectic mix of architectural designs. Did you know? This lovely town even caught the attention of the New York Times,

“The 50-mile Shawangunk Ridge is just one of the reasons New Yorkers are flocking to this Ulster County town, which is also prized for its wide-open spaces…. The architecture in Gardiner is “a smattering of everything,” Mr. Cohen said. “There are older farmhouses, modern farmhouses, contemporary-style homes, and you have a lot of colonial houses built in the ’80s.” – Karen Angel, New York Times

82 Vista Drive is a gem that’s comfortably nestled in the mountains. The meticulous detailing of this luxurious modern home matches the breathtaking views, just as you’d expect. It embodies the essence of comfortable living, where no corners are cut to ensure your complete comfort.
