Mountain landscapes.
Exceptional stewardship.
Owning a home in the Town of Austerlitz means caring for one of the Hudson Valley's most scenic and private landscapes. From historic homes in Spencertown to secluded country estates near Harvey Mountain, wooded retreats along County Route 7, and rural properties stretching toward the New York–Massachusetts border, every property presents unique maintenance challenges. Mountain weather, mature forests, steep driveways, seasonal residents, and expansive acreage all require thoughtful planning and consistent local oversight.
