How well I remember those many years ago when I was living in the fast lane of New York City. Racing from one scheduled appointment to another in a highly competitive environment. It was okay then, I was a lot younger. Today, it may be worse we now have added electronic devices to our already hectic lives. Designed originally to make us more efficient in our daily endeavors, but it appears it has only added to the stress. So why is a second home so much more important than ever before? Everyone would agree that both physically and mentally we need an escape from our harried lifestyles. Some of us have already found it here in beautiful Columbia County. For me it began with the mere thought that come Friday, I would be escaping my daily hectic pace for the tranquility of the country. It started with a pleasant stress free drive up the Taconic State Parkway. Where each season its face changed to the most bucolic of scenes. Once there you can feel the stress begin to slowly leave the body. Makes no difference what time of the year it is, there is something special about each of the seasons. It’s often the first thing I hear form prospective second homebuyers, I need it to be quiet. I truly understand. Enjoy all we have to offer.
