Just 1 hour directly North of NYC on the Eastern coast line of the Hudson River, turn onto one of the winding, steep, and, in some cases, dirt roads, and and find the untold bueaty of Garrison NY. Farmhouses and cottages share street addresses with country manors and midcentury moderns with a rustic twist. McMansions or anything ostentatious are hard to find here. Garrison consists of predominantly tastefully built or restored dwellings on large parcels of land, owned by folks who would rather spend their money on a somewhat modest, sustainable, impeccably furnished home with a few acres of woods so that they can listen to foxes chase turkeys on chilly afternoons. About 35 percent of Garrison’s land is permanently protected, and its citizens are willing to fight like hell for the other 65 percent to preserve the hamlet’s bucolic nature.
