Ranch VII Sold - Barryville NY Real Estate
It's a complex challenge to manage and juggle 8 projects at a time, especially when they overlap at the back end (that's what she said), and closing on 4 homes and finishing up construction on the Schoolhouse and Farm 20 and Glasco Cottage and starting the Saugerties Loft, and preconstruction activities on 5 new projects - let's just say the intracacies of that type of precise scheduling and execution can be intense. Then spread it over a 120 mile area, and sprinkle in the typical personality of our typical accomplished client, and one can quickly see there's no faking it here.
Ranch VII is a great story of two guys (broadway dancers I think) planning for years to make this country sojourn happen - prioritizing, budgeting, planning, waiting - and now, here it is. Done, complete, all hazards navigated.
The Carport. The vertical metal siding defines this exterior.
This home is a spin-off of Ranch V and VI on a great wooded 5 acre expanse a stone's throw from Barryville and the Delaware River.
Brought the metal siding idea inside as well, which I thought was a great idea.
No trouble getting the cooking and entertaining done in this setup.
One of the well-windowed bedrooms.
Very dwell and country living without even trying.
The lower level.
Outdoor living all around.
Here's one of our Mini-Cottages being resold (after marriage and twins) and going into a deal, which I always love to see.
And Lucas got 'stinged' by a bee at Circle Park, just about the cheek bone in that real fleshy ouchy area of tissue. Tough kid.
Farm 23 - SOLD
Stone Ridge NY - 1900 sq ft, 3 beds, 2 baths.
3 Closings in the next 7 days.
Pretty serious stuff around here - with Farm 23, Cottage 43 and Mid Century 6 all closing in the next 5 days, god willing.
This mean prehistoric snapping turtle crawled out of my pond - he'd take your toe right off.
And speaking of ponds, I took my first dip in my pond that I built 2 years ago. Right off the big rock into 14' of water. Cold and I smelt like a pond for awhile.
That's me on the right, James my project manager on the left, and Bronson "Big Guy' Bigelow in the center. We just finished converting a 150 yr old schoolhouse into a 2 room inn for him and his wife to run in their idle hours.
Here's Tito, our painter, illuminated in a churchly sunlit glow.
And Farm 23, which sells on Friday.
And Lucas checking out the new digs inside.
I was in the city on Monday night and boy was it fucking nasty out - windy and rainy and just spooky nasty.
But the upgrade didn't hurt my feelings.
