Troutbeck

A naturalists dream—with skiing, hunting, shooting, fishing, some of the best road cycling in the country, and access to over 5,000 acres of accessible wilderness—Amenia is also a gateway to the Upstate New York cultural corridor. This is a region where clapboard houses sit comfortably next to Georgian mansions, and where one finds a bounty of offerings produced by East Coast creatives, such as organic wineries, rare book sellers, vintage jewelry boutiques, artisanal bakeries, fair-trade coffee shops, country restaurants manned by city chefs, gallery spaces, recording studios, and beyond. And it’s all set within an enduring and idyllic landscape that attracted the romantic painters of the Hudson River School and, more recently, such contemporary artists as Ellsworth Kelly, Brice Marden, and Marina Abramović, all of whom have studios and country homes in the area. Barely five minutes from a direct, two-hour train ride to Grand Central, Amenia has rightly been dubbed the “place to be” in Upstate New York.
