Selling My House in New Paltz and Moving On!

Hey folks,

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. Yes, I’m still riding. It’s funny, I still get hundreds of hits on this site even without maintenance…mostly because of the lasagna recipe lol. I am glad I could perform that service to humanity.

I have big news! I’m engaged to a a wonderful woman and I’m moving. You see, I have not only met the one, but she comes with the best bonus possible — an amazing family. Something I’ve always wanted. The kids are truly fantastic and I am really enjoying connecting with them.

Of course the complication is that I have to move to her, instead of vice versa, because the kids are in school. I always said I’d have to be carried out of this house in a box but I did not hesitate in the slightest about trading what is likely the most fantastic house in the Hudson Valley for her and the team. On the plus side, she lives in a beautiful house near the base of Storm King. While the riding isn’t *quite* as nice as here it’s still great.

So here it is. It’s 5100 square feet (per the town, I think it is more like 4200 square feet livable space but don’t quote me on that), 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, 3 working fireplaces, somewhere around 3 acres and surrounded by hundreds of acres of woodlands that I hear are going to be protected for eternity (again, don’t quote me on that). Only 1 neighbor and some goats at the end of the street.

I’d be remiss to not say that it is in the best cycling country in New York. The rail trail is literally 2 minutes away at the end of my street, and of course the road riding is fantastic and largely car-free. Minnewaska is about 12 minutes, and if you are a climber…Mohonk is maybe 10. Close enough that I used to walk my dogs there routinely. There is no better location in upstate NY.

I have broker but you can contact me directly here and I’ll send it to her. Also, FYI, I will pay a 1% bounty for a referral that leads to a sale. And if you could….post it on your socials.

10 Bridge Creek Rd, New Paltz, NY. It’s listed so you can look it up. I am very willing to negotiate on price….I just want to get the hell out and on with my life 🙂

    John – very happy for you. Your new Relationship sounds very good – i met someone very special after my wife passed so i know the feeling.

    Don’t knock storm king. One of the nicest but shortest climbs; mountain road is a steady 12-15% for a 1/2 mile; and the other side of Hudson has many routes – into Connecticut; Canopus hollow; dennytown; you can spend a few hours doing every climb in Harriman including the spectacular Tiorati Brook Road and the winding descent of Arden Valley. And you must do Mine Road, connecting 9W with 293 going through is army training grounds. Plenty of great riding to explore. Be more than happy to help out or let you know when we are up there.

    Great bagel place in Cornwall – 2 Alice’s. Sure you found it.

    Best of luck my friend and thx for all the Catskill Riding suggestions – enjoy and relish this new phase

    Mike
