Dear Neighbor:

Let's hope that this past blizzard is the worst of the winter and that it is behind us! Yes, the roads, schools, post offices and town offices were closed, but now we are all open for business!

Last year in Cornwall there were 23 house sales and 2 land sales, a drop in transactions from 2013 when we recorded 27 houses sold as well as 6 land sales. Specifically in the Cream Hill area in 2014 we've had 2 land sales and 1 house sale. We currently have 6 properties for sale in your neighborhood.

Two lots totaling 48.9 acres on Cream Hill (see map) have sold for $470,000. The lots were owned by family members, and while one of the lots had been on the market for several years, last year was the first time they had been offered as a package. The interest in the double lot package was immediate. A local couple bought the land. As it was my listing and I also worked with the buyers, I was doubly happy.

40 Rexford Road is a ranch house at the end of the road with lovely views overlooking farmland and faraway hills. With 4 bedrooms and 2 kitchens, this could be a duplex but has always served a single family residence. Long term Cornwall renters were the buyers at $335,000.

The third sale was a land sale on Cherry Hill Road. The 14 acres sold for $215,000 in this most desirable area.

There are 6 properties for sale: 5 are land, 1 is a house.

At the corner of Reed Brook Road and Cream Hill Road there is a 9.5 acre lot for sale.

It is adjacent to the 48.9 acres mentioned above and it already has a contract for sale with a closing scheduled for later this Spring. Once again I am delighted to be representing both the sellers and the buyer. The list price is $325,000.

Further down on Cream Hill Road, just behind the Cornwall Consolidated School, there is a 9.6 acre lot available for $150,000. It has mature timber and a south facing slope. A building site can be had with a near level driveway. This one needs to be walked. David Bain has this listing.

Just around the corner on Route 128 my office mate Rick Meehan has a 16 acre parcel listed for $175,000. This lot offers a stream, a hillside, and a small clearing ideal for a house site.

Across the street at 99 Sharon Goshen Turnpike (this is Route 128) Rick Meehan has also listed a converted barn on 2.33 acres. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with 3132 square feet is just awaiting creative ideas for its transformation into a dream house. It has a lovely deck and a pool. On the exterior there are box stalls for animals and the extra feature of a full house generator which starts automatically and is fueled by propane. Most importantly, there is an incredible view and all can be had for $390,000.

Last year I introduced a new land listing of 67 acres over on Town Street. It is still available with its lovely pond, wooded hillside, abundant stone walls and a wide choice of home sites, all with views. The best news is that it has been reduced by $200,000! It is now priced at $495,000.

20 Stone Hill Road is a 14 acre lot on a private road just past the Scoville farm. It has a brook, underground conduits for power installed, 300' driveway to a walking path and an approved house site with pastoral views. I have this private parcel listed at $249,000.

We hope you enjoy receiving our updates. This year is Cornwall's 275^th anniversary. I'm on the committee planning a celebration. If you have any ideas you might share with me about those plans, I'd really appreciate receiving them.
