It may be an atypically warm and precipitation-less winter here in Upstate New York, but that hasn’t slowed down the demand for log homes here in Ulster County.

With Belleayre, Windham, Hunter and many more mountains located practically in our backyards, Ulster County residents don’t need to travel far, if at all, to ski, snowshoe or cross-country ski. Even though it is a short, two hour commute from New York City, many mountain lovers cannot get enough and want to enjoy all that Ulster County offers- not just in winter, but year-round, and what better place to enjoy the mountains than in a private, rustic log home!

Take a Tour with Taft Street as we bring you to 11 amazing log homes for sale in Ulster County, NY!

David Bowie is said to have his ashes scattered at his secret home just outside of Woodstock, where it is reported that he spent most of his final days with his family. The star wanted no funeral or memorial, leaving his most recent album ‘Blackstar’ as his final goodbye to fans, after losing his long battle with cancer on January 10th, 2016.

Friends say that David Bowie was happiest on his woodland compound in the Catskill Mountains. Guitarist Gerry Leonard, who recorded 3 albums with Bowie, said that Woodstock was where Bowie would spend time with his family and “recharge.” It is here that the music icon’s ashes will be spread with only close family in attendance- keeping the location of his Woodstock retreat a secret still, as it always has been.

noname1_400_01Clients and customers often ask me how the market is doing. They also tend to ask about where home values are at today. Compared to 5-6 years ago, I’d of course say the market is down quite a bit. The good news however is that things are definitely improving. The Ulster County real estate market, Highland NY in particular, is just one of a handful of local markets to see a surge in buyer activity. In Taft Street realty’s latest market update, we wanted to share two recently sold homes in Ulster County NY to give you a better idea of what’s selling right now and where Highland NY home values are at this spring.
