350’ of Soundfront on 12+/- Acres w/ Permits Each Lot has Room for House, Pool & Tennis North Fork | East Marion. You remember the feeling. You’re on holiday on the coast of some Caribbean isle or on the cliff of a European town overlooking the Mediterranean. Each morning when your head leaves the pillow you know you are on vacation with broad expanses of water dotted with boats and vistas of other shores. Much closer to home, only 100 miles from Manhattan, you can recreate that feeling each and every day when you develop this very private, nearly 12 acre waterfront, meadow-like parcel composed of two 5.7 acres lots spanning 350’ along the North Fork’s Long Island Sound. With permits pending, a savvy buyer would save hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of waiting to begin construction of a significant house, waterside pool, tennis court and even a guest house for those who would undoubtedly flock to help you enjoy your grand, new estate. The low, but stable bluff, provides easy access down a gentle pebbled path to the beach from where you’ll enjoy an abundance of aquatic activities while conversation and laughter will resound around the inevitable nighttime beach fires. The property affords ample opportunity to create your own vineyard, apple orchard or a field of wildflowers through which your driveway will meander right to your front door. Only a few miles from both the ferries of Greenport and Orient Point, this well positioned property provides easy access to everything that has made the North Fork the new sought after destination. At night, go into town for dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants overlooking Shelter Island or head to one of the many vineyards for a wine tasting. But on clear evenings, eat early as you might want to get back for some of the most beautiful sunsets anywhere, as the sun seems to disappear somewhere into the Sound leaving the horizon a purplish haze.

REALTY CHECK HOT SALES AND LISTINGS WITH A DOLLOP OF HAMPTONS GOSSIP BY KAREN DASH

Mylestone Photo: Bespoke

W

ell, another year of Hamptons real estate is in the bag! While 2023 has been fairly quiet, mostly because of lack of inventory, this year still has produced some quite high trades, which we’ll detail below.

These are all accurate at time of writing; of course, as most of us know, a lot of sales close before the new year, so watch this space.

was $135 million. Michael Koeneke of Compass brought the buyer, known only as Meerkat LLC at press time, who paid $112.5 million. And why not? The property includes both ocean- and bayfront, 500 feet of ocean frontage with a private boardwalk to the water. There’s also a private pathway to a deepwater dock on the bay side, perfect for parking a yacht.

The parcels comprise a 5.4-acre property that with a 5,500-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-bath main house and a nearly 1.3-acre inland parcel with a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath guest house.

Before that, the property sold in April 2020 for $45 million; the buyer then put the estate back on the market in October 2020 for $72 million. Nice profit of $46.5 million there, but who’s counting?

MYLESTONE FINDS A BUYER The biggest deal of the year is the giant eightacre estate on Meadow Lane belonging to Marcia Riklis. Yes, you remember correctly: her father was financier Meshulam Riklis, who among other things helped found Carnival Cruise Lines and part owned Las Vegas casinos. He was also the husband of 80s starlet Pia Zadora, who received a scandalous Golden Globe award.

The house is 15,000 square feet, with 11 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and four half-baths, as well as an attached caretaker’s cottage. We’d guess the house will be bulldozer bait fairly soon, though.

Ultra-rich people usually want to design their own mansions, rather than inherit someone else’s hand-me-down.

Another oceanfront house, at 201 Lily Pond Lane, sold on November 1 for a whopping $61 million. Repped by Ed Petrie and James Petrie at Compass, the property, available for the first time in 75 years, includes 2.7 acres of land with 400 feet of ocean frontage on Georgica Beach.

Views are, of course, to the ocean to the south and to Lily Pond to the north, with gorgeous sunsets. The house, originally built in 1925 in the Spanish colonial style, is 7,600 square feet, with 8 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms, five fireplaces, and a double-height living room. There’s a 3.5 car garage, pool house, and oceanside pool.

Mylestone, as the property is known, was originally put on the market in January 2021 asking $175 million. The last ask for the property at 700 Meadow Lane, brokered by Bespoke,

EAST HAMPTON STRIKES BACK Likely the second priciest sale of 2023 is an oceanfront compound that sold for $91.5 million in an off-market deal in January. 32 Windmill Lane and 26 Windmill Lane in East Hampton sold in two transactions — $77,775,000 and $13,725,000.

PLACE OF PEACE Lasata, famed for being the young Jackie Kennedy’s family summer home on Further Lane in East Hampton, has a new owner. Supposedly named after a Native American word meaning “place of peace,” the iconic Lasata is now the property of superstar fashion designer Tom Ford. Ford paid $52 million for the non-waterfront property, which went on the market in May asking $55

million. The seller, David Zander, who purchased the estate in 2018 for $24 million, was repped by Charles Forsman and James Petrie of Compass and Eileen O’Neill of The Corcoran Group. Frank E. Newbold of Sotheby’s International Realty brought the buyer.

is also a two-bedroom guest cottage, a caretaker’s cottage, a pool house and a three-car garage. Now including 7.15 acres, the gardens of Lasata were redesigned by French landscape architect Louis Benech after the property was subdivided in 2017, with four acres sold separately.

The 8,500-square-foot main house, with eight bedrooms, has been sensitively redecorated. There

GOING FURTHER In May, Peloton co-founder John Foley sold his Further Lane, Amagansett, oceanfront house for $4 million less than he paid for it in 2021. Not too surprising given that Peloton stock plummeted after Covid-related lockdowns eased, and Foley was rumored to be interested in offloading the property just two months after his purchase.

The property, set on about four acres with 400 linear feet of oceanfront, traded for $51 million in May. Foley paid $55 million for it in December 2021. The property sold off market, and it’s uncertain who the brokers or buyers were, always bad news for us nosey types.

SOUTHAMPTON COMPOUND In September came news of the transfer of an oceanfront house in Southampton’s McDonnellMurray Compound. On 2.64 acres, with 191 feet of ocean frontage, the house was built in 1992 and traded for $41 million. Bespoke represented both the buyers and the sellers.

The dwelling includes almost 8,000 square feet, with six bedrooms and seven-and-a-half bathrooms. Outside, there’s a gunite swimming pool, a clay tennis court and a private duckwalk to the beach. The property was previously owned by apparel magnate Irving L. Rousso, a founder and president of Russ Togs, who died in 2017.

CARIBBEAN BOUND Douglas Elliman | Knight Frank recently announced a new affiliate partner for luxury real estate in the Bahamas. While Douglas Elliman and Knight Frank have shared a formal global alliance for more than a decade, this new affiliate platform, beginning with The Isles Group, is the

first-of-its-kind affiliation between one of the largest independent brokerages in the U.S. and its UK-headquartered international partner. It heralds Douglas Elliman’s arrival to the Caribbean property market and Knight Frank’s expansion.

Headquartered in Nassau, The Isles Group is a full-service, luxury real estate company active in the key markets of the Bahamas where neither brokerage currently operates.

GOOD BEACHES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS 51 West End Road in East Hampton traded for $35 million in January. Lloyd and Barbara Macklowe, founders of the Macklowe Gallery, sold their home

to their neighbor, Hard Rock Cafe’s founder Peter Morton. The Macklowes were represented by Kyle Rosko and Marcy Braun of the Eklund | Gomes Team at Douglas Elliman, while Morton’s agents were James Petrie and Ed Petrie of Compass.

The 1.51 acre property, with 170 feet of ocean frontage, is right on sought-after Georgica Beach.

It boasts sunrises over the Atlantic and sunsets over Georgica Pond, along with a rare oceanside pool. Built in 1926 by Roger Bullard (architect of the Maidstone Club) and known as the Ellery S. James House, the 6,100 square foot house offers a three-car garage renovated by Ben Krupinski himself, the house includes a fun hidden guest wing staircase. The private beach boardwalk is placed perfectly between two of Juan Trippe’s original Georgica jetties for erosion control.

Just down the road, the oceanfront home at 15 West End Road has sold for $33 million. The twoacre parcel offers a 5,000-square-foot home, a 1,500-square-foot cottage, and a swimming pool, and boasts 165 feet of ocean frontage. Owned by the same family since 1945, the house was originally built by Ring Lardner, the sports columnist and friend of F. Scott Fitzgerald, in 1927.

Listed with the Petrie Team at Compass, the house offers nine bedrooms and five bathrooms, all restored to historic perfection — the house is still neither winterized nor air conditioned, a true taste of vintage East Hampton.

ARTS

THE INFLUENCERS: PARRISH ART MUSEUM’S ARTISTS CHOOSE ARTISTS

BY HEATHER BUCHANAN

B

ack in the days before we considered “influencers” those who amassed followers for revealing the world’s best lip gloss, influencers were ground breakers in all artistic disciplines. The Parrish Art Museum explores this concept in their Artists Choose Artists exhibits, tapping into the rich legacy of the East End. Certain artists are invited to scour the Museum’s 3600-volume holdings to pick another artist living or passed to pair with their own works. What emerges is a sophisticated dialogue of past and present, sparking discussions of perception and perspective as well as a chance for artists to look at their personal or professional relationship with other artists.

When internationally acclaimed artists Ned Smyth and John Torreano recently participated in a discussion on the exhibit, they explored not only their relationship to the artist they chose but to each other.

It was a fascinating walk down memory lane in their early years in Manhattan in the ‘70s before Soho was Soho, when you could trade art at the local bar for booze, exhibit at galleries with no locks on the doors, or argue over rent going up to $175 a month.

Smyth was first inspired when he spent a summer building a house in Aspen cutting 2 x 4’s. He came back to explore casting them in concrete. “I was a minimalist when I first came to New York,” says Smyth, “And I started making different constructions with them. The first person to see them in my

John Torreano's exhibit

studio was Leo Castelli.” Attracted to different eras of architecture, he then started creating archways, entrances and columns. “I thought of it as creating reverent space but not necessarily a particular religion. It wasn’t about an object per se but the feeling from the whole space.” Smyth also creates sculptural installments in public spaces including one in Battery Park. “A woman who lived next to it told me it was ‘awful.’ When I asked why she said, ‘The Hell’s Angels come here every Saturday and hang out and play music,’ and I said, ‘How cool.’” His home in Shelter Island and nature inspire him now from enormous rock sculptures to bronze versions of beautiful driftwood.

For his pairing Smyth chose a signature all black wooden sculpture from Louise Nevelson. “I was looking through the collection for minimalism,” says Smyth, “I know Louise’s work from back in the ‘70s when my first loft was on Delancey and I walked past where she lived regularly. When I saw her piece in the collection it seemed to connect and be in proportion.”

Ned Smyth's exhibit

John Torreano describes himself as the “longest emerging artist of all time.” He attributes staying relevant to staying true to his intuition instead of being driven by money, “If I had gotten caught up in

how much I could get for this one versus that one it would have been different.” His fascination with dots (even evident on his socks) took on different meanings as his work evolved. “I wanted to be more articulate with the distribution of the dots and I asked where are dots in nature and I thought stars.” First looking at the pictures of the cosmos then reading about it informed his art on many different levels.

On his choice of the fiberglass and orb sculpture by Dennis Oppenheim to pair with his own work he says, “It’s the idea of contradictive things physical and visual. It’s the physical materiality of something and the illusion you create with it. Meaning is created by the viewer, not the artist.”

Both became enamored with the Hamptons, Torreano when he was the first visual artist resident at the Edward Albee Foundation in Montauk and Smyth, against his objections, “I don’t wear pink pants and play golf,” when he “went down to Gibson Beach in Sagaponack and there were all the artists I knew from New York.” Torreano says, “What I like about the community here is it has a similar scale as when I first moved to New York. You see the artists and you know them. It’s not so huge that you get lost.”

nd the year on a high note with some of the best design offerings the Hamptons has to offer. From one-of-a-kind spice containers to bone China tea pots that are fit for high tea in the heart of a traditional British estate in the countryside. Take a tour of the East End with us as we scour some of our favorite stores for this year’s top picks for incredible finds for friends, family, and, yes, even ourselves.

At Matriark, in Sag Harbor, the design-minded can find curated picks from women- and LGBTQI-owned brands from around the world.

The store carries everything from clothing to bespoke beauty supplies to home goods. In the latter category, shoppers will find some of the Hamptons most unique finds, like KÓKILI’s tree story spice containers, a made-to-order set that can accommodate the most commonly used spices and that was awarded the coveted Bronze A’ Design Award in 2023. The six-piece set are meant

Matriark

to mimic the shape of tree canopies in different regions around the world. Bases are made from American walnut, white oak, cherry, beech, and yellowheart, and glass is lead-free. Although the lead-time on these can be long, as they are handmade, gift-givers can send a note telling the story of their incredible provenance.

Bridgehampton’s JANGEORGe Interiors & Furniture is a must-visit for the design obsessive who is inspired by a bit of classic taste. The retailer sells an astounding collection of beautiful and classic teapots in differing shapes and patterns: a 1.3-liter Dibbern bone China blue birds patterned pot, designed by Maik Hansen, or a 1.3-liter gold leaf pot, also Dibbern bone China, and designed

by Bodo Sperlein. A festive, German-designed Santa Claus teapot is another unique choice for this year’s luxury holiday shopper. The retailer also sells bone China pot warmers, mugs, and more — everything you need to embrace the classic idealism of tea drinking at home.

Il Buco Vita

else. Owned by Tanya Willock and Temidra Willock-Morsch, both of whom were raised in the Hamptons, the store showcases original designs, fine arts, and textiles. Those who seek to bring a little bit of the East End’s marine culture into their home can look no further than Hidden Gem’s handmade Board Surf wall art. Made from wood and available in multiple colorways, the two-foot pieces of artwork replicate surfboards, themselves a symbol of the East End’s robust surfing scene.

The boards can also be customized in larger sizes (the largest size available, a six-foot board, approximates the size of an actual surfboard) and can be made with gold leaf detailing.

Finally, stop into Il Buco Vita, in Amagansett, for a stunning set of artist Antonello Radi’s ceramic radishes. Fashioned in the Marche, these pieces all differ. Hold them in your hand and decide which one is the right fit for your coffee table, kitchen counter, or breakfast nook. They are individual — and perfect — works of art that look almost good enough to eat. Almost.

Hidden Gem, in Southampton, offers Hamptonsspecific décor that you won’t find anywhere

MARKETWATCH: WITH INVENTORY STEADILY REBUILDING, THE HAMPTONS MARKET LOOKS FORWARD TO 2024

BY ALICE PHILLIPS

700 Meadow Lane, Southampton Photo: Bespoke

H

ere at the end of 2023, we find that the Hamptons real estate marketplace is not truly immune from the pressures of interest rate hikes. Hamptons Real Estate Showcase spoke with Robert Nelson, Executive Managing Director of Brown Harris Stevens of the Hamptons to discuss the most recent BHS Hamptons Market Report and Mr. Nelson’s thoughts on Hamptons real estate as 2023 draws to a close.

HRES led off the conversation with a discussion of the inflation/interest rate conundrum confounding the US housing market. In response to waning Covid fears and the resulting strong jumpstart of the economy, the Federal Reserve has focused on reducing inflation to the effect that it has raised the key federal funds rate 22 times in the past 18 months.

Many economists and real estate professionals believe that the Fed’s actions are jeopardizing the housing market. “We have become a fixed rate country, the majority of loans are fixed rate,” explained Mr. Nelson. “Potential sellers are staying put because we all love our low fixed rate mortgages.

Despite the actions of the Federal Reserve however, in the past few weeks, mortgage rates have started to drop – enough of a drop to where homeowners feel like they can refinance and where homeowners

will start to move. The housing market is all about perception – and when people’s perceptions change, then the market will begin to change as well.”

HRES and Mr. Nelson went on to discuss market pressures more specific to the Hamptons, using the closing of 700 Meadow Lane as an example. In the first week of November, 700 Meadow Lane in Southampton closed as the highest priced sale of 2023. Originally listed in 2021 for $175 million, the price was reduced to $135 million earlier this year before closing at $112.5 million – the latest property to sell for over $100 million and surpassing the 2021 sale of 90 Jule Pond Drive in Southampton in 2021.

Despite the nearly 25% reduction, the price marked the most expensive listing in the Hamptons. “Clearly the purchaser felt that it is a good time to make that sort of investment in the Hamptons,” said Mr. Nelson. “This is a purchase by the extremely wealthy, and if those with that kind of money didn’t feel it was a good time to invest, then they just wouldn’t. Of course, there’s less of an impact when transactions are all cash. But let’s remember one thing: the top 10% are reading the headlines and headlines do affect ‘cocktail party talk.’” The discussion then turned on the notoriety of the Hamptons. “It’s a famous, but very small market.”

Mr. Nelson’s latest Hamptons Market Report comments that the “[Hamptons] market is entering a more stable period.” When asked by HRES to unpack this comment, Mr. Nelson was quick to add that he was referring to the Covid years, which were not the norm. “That’s compared to the Covid years, which were just not normal. Covid purchases were just not normal. Real estate professionals never worked so hard to sell so much so quickly as they did during the pandemic. Purchasers needed a place to hunker down, especially city dwellers moving from apartments to single family homes.”

If the market is becoming more stable, is the lack of inventory easing? “Yes,” responded Nelson. “Inventory is building, but not at the speed as before. Supply is still low as opposed to pre-Covid. However, buyers are beginning to have a selection of homes to look at – as opposed to the Covid period. But it’s still not enough.” When asked how the market gets to enough, Mr. Nelson was very specific. When the public sees interest rates as stable at a manageable rate, we will see movement to listing and participation in the marketplace to meet seller’s demands. For now, downsizers are not moving because many don’t want to give up favorable low rates.

52

HRES_Holiday2023_Marketwatch.indd 1

12/5/23 2:36 PM

And what about pricing? “We are seeing multiple offers on correctly priced properties,” confirmed Nelson. Properties that are moving are closer in line to actual values. The market today is seeing double, triple number of price reductions because ‘aspirational’ prices are not being met.”

What makes for aspirational pricing? “Every property is different, every home is different,” Mr. Nelson explained. “Some asking prices are out of sync with value because neighboring properties are so different.

Comps show one price, but maybe your next-door neighbor sells for a much higher price, so a seller thinks his or her home is worth more than the comps actually show.”

What’s the takeaway for 2024? Mr. Nelson wrapped up with a very positive viewpoint. “All I know is when I take my graph and project forward, the Hamptons is never losing money. A lot of property has been preserved, look around at all the lovely farms and other preserved land. We have the ocean on one side and bays on the other and the area is world famous.

The Hamptons are a great long-term investment.”

Overall we see a healthy market that is continuing to slowly level off after a few years of historically high numbers of sales and prices.

Inventory is steadily rebuilding, as each week we have more listings coming to market than selling….With more homes on the market and prices slowly adjusting accordingly, we should look forward to continued stability in the Hamptons real estate market.

— Robert Nelson Brown Harris Stevens of the Hamptons

But we’re highlighting a few of our favorite cultural touchstones this season. The adventure, as always, begins on your plate. So dig in.

Take a trip all the way to Japan without leaving home via Sen, the established restaurant in Sag Harbor that has long been a part of the Hamptons local scene. Jesse and Tora Matsuoka own the restaurant and have dedicated their careers to understanding and appreciating Japanese cuisine, and this comes across in every detail of the restaurant, down to the sushi bar and intimate cocktail room at the restaurant’s rear. Whip-fresh fish is always a delight (opt for the Chirashi, which features 14 different varieties of sashimi, along with

vegetables, over rice, a Japanese classic), as is the restaurant’s stunning pork ramen: springy noodles simmering in a rich tonkotsu broth. The only thing you’ll miss out on are the frequent flyer miles.

Il Buco al Mare

Transport yourself to the Italian seaside with a trip to Amagansett’s Il Buco al Mare. With a dedication to seafood and produce, this restaurant replicates the simple pleasures of the Italian seashore. A whole branzino with shaved fennel, herbs, and cracked buckwheat recalls fish caught from the nearby shoreline, the briny air in Italy, the licoriceinflected bulbs pulled from the hot midday soil.

Close your eyes and you’d swear you were there.

Charred octopus, charred prawns: were these plucked right from the Italian mare today, or is it best left up to the imagination? Travel is a play between memory and imagination when dining at al Mare. It’s an adventure of the palate, and it’s not too far off to envision oneself in a small, slippery

boat, hauling in the day’s saline treasures.

If a trip to France isn’t in the cards this year, head directly to Bridgehampton instead, where Pierre’s can offer up a taste of the country’s most iconic dishes. Inside, a stark white interior plays at East End décor, but the food holds nothing back. A crock of practically overflowing onion soup with a brûléed top is one of the most stunning things to come out of the petite kitchen. Don’t stop there. Burgundy escargots, set ablaze with a hint of Pernod and served with garlic-parsley butter (and bread, naturally) are the pinnacle of French dining. Thin, salty, and divine French fries go with practically everything on the menu. Dive into a bowl of mussels, cooked in shallots and cream; a plate of beef tartare; or a rare and tender hanger steak, served with Sauce Béarnaise. No jetlag suffered, you’ll find yourself ready for the world again after a nightcap. (Pierre’s has those, too.)

TRAVEL

IN THE PINES AT MAINE’S QUISISANA, THE JOY IS IN THE TURNING OFF AND TUNING OUT BY HANNAH SELINGER

I

t’s rare, in the world of travel writing, that a writer is afforded the opportunity to return to a place more than once. For all the luxury and mystique of the job, there is one thing we are frequently denied, and that is the familiar. Jetting back and forth to the newest, shiniest, and most exciting destination is our bread and butter. What’s next? Whatever is new and different, naturally.

In the summer of 2022, my family and I headed up to Maine for a week, to a resort that my father had visited decades before, when he, too, was in his early 40s. My husband, kids, and I sank into the analog comfort of a week in the pines at Quisisana, a family-owned spot on Kezar Lake, a nexus of activity that is not at all like the activity back home. There, the social scene is dominated by waterski boats and evenings with fellow travelers, commiserating over sunset on a porch that stretches into dusk. Adults eat peanuts and drink glasses of wine. Kids play Skee-Ball and are afforded the rare freedom to run unattended in the woods.

When we were invited back, in July of 2023, we leapt at the chance.

The rustic green and white cabins of Quisisana are joyful — the understated luxury that someone who has gone to camp without hot water will appreciate in adulthood (Quisisana does have hot water, and alcohol, and candy, some of the things you may have been denied as a camper, but can now have as a “just visiting” grown-up who still wants to have camp

memories at arm’s-length). Maine burrows itself in the soul. The blueberry bushes that line the pathways are a signature part of the state’s experience. Is this a hotel? An opportunity to commune with nature?

Why not both.

Each day, meals are served in the main dining room.

Guests sit at an assigned table and are served by the same rotating team of servers. If there’s a birthday, the staff — most of whom have come to Maine to perform in the finely honed series of weekly operas, musicals, and shows — will sing. They come from all over the country to perform in this summer stock, of sorts.

By day, they are servers, or waterfront attendants, or housekeepers. By night, they strap on knee-high pleather boots and kick back and belt out the tunes from Kinky Boots.

There’s a Borscht Belt feel to Quisisana. You could be in the 1950s, the 1960s, the 1980s, the 1990s. Every family’s cabin and address is recorded by hand, stored in a plastic index card box holder. Your reservation will exist there, for safe keeping, for life. The Orans family, who runs Quisisana, will be able to let you know where you stayed last year, or the year before, should you have a preference, say, for a cabin with a living room and a fireplace, or a cabin that faces the lake directly.

Up in the main lodge, there are board games and books for borrowing. There are computers, should you need

to check an email or remind yourself that the real world exists. Every once in a while, I did this, though I shouldn’t have; whenever my inbox replenished, at alarming speed, I felt the pang of the real-world return, the suffocation of it. There’s a reason that Quisisana encourages its guests to disconnect, to recover from digital overload in the comfort of tall pines, ice-cold lake water, and evening performances in the company of new friends.

New England had its rainiest summer perhaps ever, but we didn’t mind. My sons waterskied daily, on a particularly glassy lake. In the evenings, they marched off to Treble Hall, the children’s activity room, where they readied their own talent show for a last night performance. We, too, were busy, eating chef Andrew Vogel’s food: steamed lobster one night, lamb saddle another.

A week goes by too fast. That’s one thing we discovered during our second visit to Quisi. The rituals — and they had, in fact, become rituals at this point — felt settled into our bones. Pretty soon it was Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Then, it was time to say goodbye all over again. For all the trips my husband and children and I had taken across the world (villas perched on pristine beaches; elephants tearing across the plains), this was one we were so sad to let go of. What if we didn’t make it back again? The thought of that was almost too heavy to bear.

FENG SHUI ENERGY

BY AMANDA GIDDY PETERS

W

hen Feng Shui comes up in conversation, there’s a familiar assumption that it’s a “move your furniture, change your life” practice. And while there is a zest of truth here, there’s a more comprehensive way to consider this ancient wisdom in today’s modern world.

Suppose you have a plant that is struggling – maybe its leaves are yellowing or spotting. Most of us tend to ask if it needs less water, more sunlight, or perhaps fertilizer. We get curious and intentionally look for opportunities to optimize its environment so the plant thrives.

Turns out, we are just as influenced for success by our environments, too.

Feng Shui is a wisdom that interprets energy (and its patterns) in our surroundings so that we can “arrange” those influences to support and optimize our well-being.

Red Blooms are believed to herald a prosperous year your way.

On that note – and with the holiday season in the air – if you’re looking for a little inspiration for improving your home, here are a few possibilities swirling that we can pull with us into the new year so we are planted for success!

TIP ONE: A home that gets noticed is a home magnetizing opportunities to it. During the winter season, houses are often decked with fresh greenery and lights, making them showstoppers.

In the new year, prioritize keeping the front of your home inviting with bright lights and healthy greenery. When the front of the home gives off a good first impression, it entices auspicious luck right to the front door.

TIP TWO: One of the holiday’s signature colors is red – a hue that is associated with good fortune, prosperity and happiness in Feng Shui. As you shimmy into next year, keep that luck percolating by punctuating your space with the color red. To get started, buy some red blooms for New Year’s Day – this is believed to herald a prosperous year your way!

Oranges represent good fortune.

TIP THREE: A favorite seasonal delight is unpacking the holiday décor and dressing the house in “something new.” New ways of seeing things come from seeing things in a new way, so it’s no surprise we feel an infusion of hope and inspiration twinkling around us after we’ve decked the halls.

The good news is this tip doesn’t have an expiration date, so as you pack the festive decor back up, find ways to “see” what it is you want to experience this next year. Keep it simple by placing something that triggers your enthusiasm in every room – and pair that item with your intentions for the new year. Metaphorical reminders keep us conversing with our goals, which accelerates their fruition!

TIP FOUR: Speaking of metaphors, fresh fruit is a common gift during the holidays – and a Feng Shui favorite is the orange. This juicy fruit represents good fortune, luck and prosperity – a “sweet life” trinity. Put a bowl of 9 oranges out before the new year rings in, so that you’re inviting all that wealth into 2024. Feel free to keep this ritual in circulation all year long!

TIP FIVE: Before the seasonal glitterati concludes, give yourself and your home something “lucky” to welcome in the new year. This tip has a couple requirements: (1) This new “gift” must be noticeable enough that it visibly changes the energy of the room it resides within. (2) This suggestion also requires that your gift be accompanied by releasing something else.

This will kickstart the year in your home with dynamic fresh energy; and if observed every year, it will become a reliable ritual for rejuvenating your space annually.

I

f there’s any place better than Palm Beach in December, we’d like to know about it. While the only thing white about this Christmas is the sand along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline, it’s nonetheless a merry destination to spend the most wonderful time of the year. Below, find the most jolly festivities and best light displays, both on and off the island.

CHRISTMAS AT WHITEHALL On display from late November through early January, the decorations at Whitehall (better known as the Flagler Museum) transform the already-marvelous space into a festive wonderland with historically accurate greenery, trimmings, and ribbons, plus a 16-foot-tall Christmas tree adorned with traditional Gilded Age-style ornaments. Don’t miss the cherished holiday evening tours, which run December 19 to 23 and provide the rare opportunity to see Whitehall by the glow of the home’s 1902 light fixtures and enjoy carolers, refreshments, and more.

STROLL WORTH AVENUE It’s not Christmas in Palm Beach without a stroll down Worth Avenue while the iconic 40-foottall Christmas tree and thousands of lights are on full display. Following the tree lighting that kicks off the Christmas season (and usually includes a parade culminating in Santa Claus perched atop an exotic car), the lights and festive window displays of one of America’s most luxurious shopping streets is among the nation’s most delightful.

resort during the holiday season and your jaw will drop at the festive display, which includes two 18-foot evergreen trees and a sculptural menorah. Beginning the day after Thanksgiving, The Breakers team works around the clock to deck their halls (and their entryways, loggias, courtyards, and landscaping) with traditional Christmas decor plus thousands of white lights, ornaments, ribbons, and bows. Even the main entrance leading to the hotel is lined with 100 royal palms and Canary Island date trees, all illuminated for the season. A sight to see, indeed.

HISTORIC GEM IN SAG HARBOR EXCLUSIVELY REPRESENTED BY JONATHAN SMITH AND LAWRENCE INGOLIA OF SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY

HRES recently sat down with Lawrence Ingolia and Jonathan Smith of Sotheby's International Realty to talk about their renovation of an historic home on Division Street in Sag Harbor.

HRES: Renovating an historic property can be challenging.

What can you tell us about the process?

Lawrence: Jonathan and I have been real estate agents in the Hamptons for more than 30 years combined. Over the years, we have been collecting ideas and inspiration and when we saw the property at 205 Division Street, we knew it was the perfect project for us. The house was built in the 1860’s and had many great historical qualities but the previous owner had basically abandoned it. We saw that with a combination of bespoke design and quality workmanship, it would be perfect for intelligent buyers who understood the Sag Harbor market. Working with the preeminent architect John Himmelsbach, who has designed many of the great homes in the Hamptons, we set about rebuilding this historic property.

HRES: What contemporary features have been incorporated to complement the historical charm of the house?

Jonathan: We incorporated more modern elements like the striking, loft-like, metal and glass wall alongside historical details like Victorian push-button electrical switches and cast-iron vent covers. The contrast really works, elevating the house into the modern era while maintaining a charm that’s in keeping with the coastal aesthetic of the village.

HRES: How did the collaboration with Kristin Kamp Design and Mabley Handler Interior Design influence the overall aesthetics of the property?

is beyond the standard for this price point. The cabinetry features elegant walnut accents and a large butcherblock slab which complement the designer appliances, like the Bertazonni range. We really wanted this project to shine and, to that end, we decided early on to make the investment in the highest quality finishes.

HRES: Why is this listing a good investment?

Jonathan: This property is an excellent investment. Sag Harbor Village real estate is always in high demand, whether for sale or rent, and this house is a rare turnkey offering.

Jonathan: It was such a gift to be able to consult independently with both of these fantastic designers.

With years of design experience in the Hamptons, Jennifer Mabley and Austin Handler guided us through many of the decisions for details and finishes, including the luxe unlacquered brass fixtures and the coastal design elements. Kristin is a master of color, and her stamp is clearly witnessed in the cohesive palette throughout the house. Both designers are experts of the transitional style, helping us to navigate the fine line between historical preservation and contemporary spirit.

HRES: Specifically, what modern conveniences or unique features distinguish this house from similar properties in the area?

Lawrence: As one example, we engaged Bakes & Kropp to build the custom kitchen and their quality of construction

“We’ve always dreamed of a goop residence, a place where people could immerse themselves into our world of gorgeous, meditative interiors, with luxurious clean beauty in the bathrooms and elegant, timeless fashion in the closet. For our 15th anniversary, we chose the historic Colony Hotel to create an experience that we hope delights our community and brings new people into our expansive goop universe,” says Gwyneth Paltrow.

T

he Colony Hotel and goop recently debuted the gorgeous new “goop Villa”, the newest design collaboration from the historic Palm Beach property curated with Academy Award winner and goop CEO and founder, Gwyneth Paltrow.

The Hollywood superstar has become an iconic tastemaker in the home design space. From the goop stores in Brentwood and Sag Harbor, to Paltrow’s Montecito home, goop’s design curation is a coveted tenet of the brand. For its 15th anniversary, goop chose to showcase its coveted taste in a first-of-its-kind experiential moment: a bookable villa at The Colony Hotel where guests can touch and feel the brand.

Reimagined by goop and designed by Ronen Lev, the 2,524-square-foot villa mirrors the modern, feminine Parisian aesthetic that goop is renowned for, blended with the vibrant spirit of Palm Beach. The result is a stunning, collected mix of old world and new; an elegant, feminine sanctuary with a direct private entrance, two bedrooms, two and a half baths, plus an open living and dining room with adjacent kitchen, charming outdoor space and access to a private pool.

Materiality is a glamorous thread in the villa design, incorporating rattan, marble, antiqued mirror, and mohair, while tones of blush, gray, sea foam and green nod to goop and The Colony Hotel’s signature hues.

The design pays homage to the villa’s dual influences seamlessly weaving together woven textures and floral motifs: a heartfelt tribute to the elegance and romance of Paris and the natural beauty of Palm Beach.

As you enter the villa, Ronen Lev’s thoughtful interior renovation becomes evident through the interplay of arched elements and organic forms creating a visual narrative that celebrates fluidity and grace, and spotlights the goop x Fromental botanical wallpaper.

The villa is filled with a curated selection of collectible design from online gallery Invisible Collection and their masterful artisans, Atelier Vime, Pierre Augustin Rose and Sandra Benhamou, along with select furniture and fixtures from design collaborator CB2 and Furniture Marolles.

Accents abound from heritage Palm Beach brands, like a hand-painted palm motif mural in the powder room by Lilly Pulitzer studio artists, and coffee table accessories from Cartier. Art throughout is curated

by Tappan Collective, including original works from Ryan Snow and Marleigh Culver.

Guests will discover indulgent treats in the goop Villa: Bathrooms are stocked with goop skincare and body products, and fashion lovers have access to a special goop concierge to order clothing from G. Label by goop to have in their closet upon arrival. In addition, guests at The Colony Hotel will be able to experience goop through curated menu additions in Swifty’s and Pink Paradise Cafe.

The goop Villa is one of seven individually decorated villa apartments created from the historic Mediterranean-style Casa Manana, the original home of The Colony Hotel’s founders. Guests of The Villa Collection enjoy full hotel amenities plus ultrapersonalized services including butler service, beach buggy program, around-town transportation, and access to the exclusive villa pool.

As guardians of a treasured icon, The Colony Palm Beach faithfully preserves its legacy of gracious hospitality while ensuring continued relevance to a new generation of modern, well-traveled and discerning guests. The 93-room property is much more than a hotel, The Colony is a state of mind – a place to connect authentically with one of the world’s most storied destinations, steps from both Worth Avenue and the Atlantic Ocean.

TRAVEL

DOMINICA THE CARIBBEAN'S UPSCALE DESTINATION FOR 2024

BY MARIETTE WILLIAMS

InterContinental Cabrits Resort & Spa

O

n my recent flight into Dominica, there was a moment when the clouds parted and gave way to a rugged mountain landscape ringed by the deep, cobalt waters of the Caribbean Sea. As a frequent traveler to the Caribbean, I’ve had my sights set on Dominica for a while, and my first impression flying into the island cemented why Dominica is such a coveted travel destination. Just 29 miles long and 16 miles wide, Dominica’s under-theradar reputation, well-heeled accommodations, and natural attractions position it as the Caribbean’s next luxury destination. As you start to make your travel plans for 2024, here are a few reasons why Dominica should top your list.

THE NATURE ISLAND Nicknamed “The Nature Island”, Dominica is a gorgeous combination of lush mountains, volcanic beaches, and majestic waterfalls. Home to just over 70,000 Dominicans, Dominica still feels unspoiled and wild, but travelers still have access to amenity-filled resorts with top-notch service. To get to Dominica, American Airlines operates two convenient direct flights from Miami per week, and there are connecting flights several times a week from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Barbados, and St. Maarten.

NATURE MEETS LUXURY Two-thirds of Dominica is covered in rainforest, and the island is home to several sophisticated resorts like the InterContinental Cabrits Resort & Spa,

located on the edge of Cabrits National Park. The newly opened property is just under an hour from the airport, and upon your arrival, you’ll be handed a Dominican rum punch and welcomed into a grand lobby that looks over the property’s garden and pristine pools.

The beachfront resort has a combination of modern details alongside natural elements that reflect the property’s tropical setting. Inside, the guest rooms have sleek floor-to-ceiling glass bathrooms, polished wood floors, and dark wood furniture, and outside drinks are served under a thatched roofed open-air restaurant. The upgraded guest rooms have balconies with direct views of the beach and resort infinity pool, and select suites come with outdoor bathtubs and private plunge pools. The food at the resort was both diverse and delectable, and during my stay, I enjoyed coconut shrimp, tender steaks, and crispy samosas. I also sipped on a Dominican herbinfused bush rum made on-site that was some of the smoothest rum I’ve tasted.

A resort highlight is the Cabrits Spa and Wellness Center. The nature-inspired spa center has several wellness huts where guests can experience the island's natural bounty from the mineral-infused mud wraps to the coconut sugar scrubs - both sourced from local ingredients. Between my spa services, I enjoyed fresh coconut water and freshly picked Dominican fruit.

OFF RESORT ADVENTURES You could spend your days sipping cocktails at the hotel’s infinity pool, but the off-resort activities deserve attention too. From the InterContinental Carbrits Resort & Spa, head about an hour to Dominica’s capital of Roseau for a few of the island’s main attractions. Start with a trip to Trafalgar Falls, one of the island’s most recognizable landmarks. The hike to the top is a quick 15 minutes, and you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the falls. Be sure to stop at River Rock Cafe and Bar at the base of the waterfall for a homestyle Dominican meal of peas and rice, stewed chicken, or fish.

TiTou Gorge is another natural wonder, and it was also one of the filming locations of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. The best way to explore the gorge is via an inner tube (and a local guide). I took a lazy river ride into the mouth of the gorge which led to a thundering waterfall. For a relaxing end to your day, head to Ti Kwen Glo Cho Hot Springs, a unique garden full of natural hot springs, warm baths, and mud pits.

I’ve visited nearly every island in the Caribbean and fell in love with Dominica’s gorgeous natural landscape and low-key charm. It’s the ideal location for a restful getaway or a few days of hiking and exploring. My advice? Visit the island while it’s still uncrowded.

MORE THAN A PARTY IOS, GREECE IS A MODERN PARADISE BY HANNAH SELINGER

TRAVEL

W

e had come from three days in Santorini, battling crowds to look over cliffs at Oia’s famous blue-topped roofs, and, to be honest, we weren’t sure what to expect next. The first time I had heard of Ios, our next destination, had been in 1999, when two friends of mine had taken a ferry over during the summer between my sophomore and junior years of college.

They had returned with a thrilling tale: somewhere between the island’s main towns of Chora and Ormos, they had partied hard, forgotten everything about the night, and ended up in the company of two Australian strangers.

That was a long time ago, yes, but Ios, over two decades later, has not quite lost its reputation as a party island. And yet, the first thing I noticed, as our car crept up from the port in Ormos and through the extraplanetary landscape — barren and beautiful sandstone boasting not a single home, unlike the overdeveloped and neighboring islands — was how quiet it was.

There are no homes built across the island, but there are many, many churches (one for each day of the year, our driver told us, and a cursory factcheck confirmed that there are, in fact, 365 churches and chapels on the island that is a mere 42-squaremiles big and that is home to only 2,000 year-round residents). On our drive to Calilo, a 30-suite bespoke luxury hotel opened by Angelos Michalopoulos and Vassiliki Petridou in 2019, I saw only herds of goats, and, once, a passing car.

Of those goats: there are over 3.6 million of them, dotting the landscape, climbing the hills, and, sometimes, interrupting traffic on the roads. They belong to individual farmers but are allowed to roam free; travelers will note their large bells, worn around their neck. Eventually, each goat makes it back to its native home. The island is small enough. Ios is home,

too, I later learned, to a petite and beautiful cheese museum, Diaseli, where owner Dimitris Haros, an Ios native, continues his family’s tradition of making cheese from the milk of his wandering goat flocks.

One hot morning, my husband, sons and I stopped in for a tour and tasted yellow (aged) and white (fresh) cheeses alongside a fresh tomato and foraged caper salad, beneath a pergola draped with vines.

Wine, slightly oxidative and ice-cold, sat in a ceramic pitcher. We could pour liberally at our own pace.

Much of the Greek isles is suited to one’s own pace, I discovered. Care to lounge on the beach? The time belongs to you. Wish to belabor the point of lunch?

Such is the will of August’s sun-drenched days. Ours felt long. Even sunset felt like an enchanting, drawnout event, stretched out like taffy after a honeysoaked day in the sun.

Cheese, tomatoes, plump capers, homemade wine, honey that tasted of lavender. It was as thrilling

as the 8-course Cycladic dinner my husband and I enjoyed at CHES, Calilo’s degustation menuonly restaurant, which leans into each island and its native fare. Burned into my memory: a dish of fat mussels and clams in a seafood and bergamot broth, paired with Retsina, and recalling Mykonos; a gelatinous terrine of mackerel; and a play on cacio e pepe, a miraculous and satisfying carb-rich course that made me wonder why Greece is not better known for its pastas.

One evening, my husband and I left our children to lounge by our room’s multitude of saltwater pools, all of which seemed to overflow seamlessly into one another (my favorite was the heart-shaped one, which overlooked the beach below).

You don’t go to Ithaka, in the port, to party; you go for the restaurant’s pristine seafood, local goat, and reimagined spinach pie. And although you might go to Pathos Club & Restaurant, a club with a sunset view, for the more traditional Ios experience, a restaurant and sushi bar awaits upstairs. There, on a blushing pink and warm Greek summer evening, my husband and I ate through an omakase plate highlighting local fish — bruléed squid, caviartopped scallops, thick planks of mackerel — as well as some of the most exquisite lamb chops I’ve ever tried.

The orange globe of the sun sank into the water.

Below, throngs of young dancers, their silhouettes highlighted in neon, bopped to the trance of electronic music. But we were long gone before the party even began.

HAMPTONS HABITUÉS HIT THE STYLISH SLOPES

BY BEVERLY STEPHEN

I

n summer, the Hamptons is THE place to be. But off-season, Hamptons habitués who don’t decamp for warmer climes want serious winter with snow and challenging slopes. They’re also looking for chic destinations like these with see and be-seen cachet, luxury spas, designer boutiques, first-rate restaurants, and lively bars for après ski.

COURCHEVEL, FRANCE There’s nothing like skiing in France where highend cuisine is an expected perk. Apparently, the French don’t loosen their boots for just a lunch time sandwich. Eight Michelin star chefs ride the range here. Six villages offer a wide variety of terrain from beginner to extreme in over 100 ski runs, many dotted with moguls. Snowboarding and snowmobiling are also popular. There are 17 five-star hotels and three in the palace category.

You’re in the lap of luxury here always with magnificent Alpine views.

Courchevel, France

VAIL, COLORADO They say Vail is like being in the French Alps without the international plane ticket. Powder, powder, powder covers its vast 5,200-acre groomed terrain plus seven legendary back bowls.

Vail is one of the largest ski resorts in the world and is set in the White River National Forest Aspen, Colorado

in Colorado. The Hythe and Four Seasons offer luxury accommodations. Chic ski wear and fur coats are de rigueur for strolling the Bavarian style village.

bust. But now it’s booming again. Renowned for powder, Park City Mountain is the largest ski area in the United States and neighboring skionly Deer Valley Resort offers five-star service and amenities. The two areas combined have 62 lifts, over 400 runs and 9,526 skiable areas. There’s also snowmobiling, dog sledding, snowshoeing, cross country and ice skating. The international Sundance Film Festival, founded by actor Robert Redford, draws Hollywood power players each January. The charming mountain town has numerous bars and restaurants. The Courchevel Bistro is a nod to their French sister city. Gateway is the Salt Lake City International Airport.

ST. MORITZ, SWITZERLAND This sunshine-blessed region in the Swiss Alps became the birthplace of winter Alpine tourism in 1864 and has been attracting royalty and celebrities ever since. It hosted the Winter Olympics twice.

Park City, Utah

ASPEN, COLORADO A silver rush put Aspen on the map in 1879 but the Silver Panic of 1893 practically turned it into a ghost town. As American skiing grew in popularity post World War II, it didn’t take Aspen long to become one of the most expensive zip codes in the United States. Aspen’s world class slopes on four mountains — Aspen, Snowmass, Buttermilk, and Aspen Highlands — and après ski restaurants and bars are a magnet for the rich and famous. Plus, private jets can land at the Aspen airport. Celebrities bed down at the Hotel Jerome, Little Nell, and the St Regis.

St. Moritz, Switzerland

Beyond skiing and snowboarding the region is a mecca for cross-country skiing, ice skating, and bobsledding. Its famous frozen lake hosts polo matches, horse racing, and even an international Concours d’Elegance for auto enthusiasts. In 1974 the late art collector Gunter Sachs founded the member-only exclusive Dracula Club where

collectors like himself could mingle with Swiss bankers, captains of industry, and tech titans.

Alpina Gstaad and the Gstaad Palace. Private chalets bear breathtaking price tags.

Gstaad, Switzerland

ZERMATT, SWITZERLAND It’s the Swiss Alps! Do we really need to say more? The Zermatt mountaineering and ski resort in Southern Switzerland sits at the base of the iconic Matterhorn peak, the most photographed mountain in the world. Definitely Instagrammable! Terrific slopes with panoramic views. And a picture postcard car-free village with plenty of fondue and raclette.

Vail, Colorado

Zermatt, Switzerland

GSTAAD, SWITZERLAND Known for its luxury hotels and prestigious international boarding schools such as the winter campus of Institut Le Rosey (the “School of Kings”), Gstaad attracts the wealthy and famous.

While some fly through Geneva, many arrive by private jet or helicopter. Aside from the glitz and glamor, Gstaad is known for its ski and crosscountry trails and winter hiking. Among the notable luxe hotels are the Grand Hotel Park,

WOODSTOCK, VERMONT MOUNTAIN VIEWS AND SO MUCH MORE

BY DAWN WATSON

• The Marsh Billings Rockefeller National Historic Park, a 550-acre forest park that offers miles of trails for hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Also passed down from the Rockefeller family, the scenic park — the only such national park located wholly in the state of Vermont — draws focus on conservation, land stewardship and the understanding of the forested landscape.

• The Middle Bridge, an all-peg constructed wooden bridge that spans the Ottauquechee River. One of three in the area, it offers stunning views and is a great place to snap some photos.

• The Paul Revere Church Bells, manufactured at the Massachusetts foundry owned by America’s most famous Midnight Rider. There are six of them in Woodstock — spread throughout the town: at the Congregational Church, the Woodstock Inn, the Masonic Temple, the St. James Episcopal Church, the North Universalist Chapel Society, and the Woodstock Country Club.

W

hen most people think of Woodstock, that famous music festival probably comes to mind.

Unless, of course, they’ve been to Vermont.

Anyone who has been fortunate enough to visit or stay at “the other Woodstock” won’t soon forget it.

A quaintly scenic locale, located on the banks of the Ottauquechee River and the base of Green Mountains, it’s brimming with charm.

Rustic yet also quite sophisticated, the “Shire Town of Windsor County” was named “The Prettiest Small Town in America” by the Ladies’ Home Journal and has been lauded as one of the “Great Places in America” by the American Planning Association. Home to artists and artisans, shopkeepers and skiers, the 3,000-strong village was chartered in 1761 and owes much of its appeal to painstaking preservation of its 19th Century architecture, a wonderfully scenic ridgeline, and pleasing rural surroundings.

Adding to the backdrop of breathtaking mountain scape and picturesque covered bridges, the totally wireless village is dotted with gorgeous Georgian-, Federal-, and Greek Revival-style homes and buildings, all clustered around a central square, called the “Green.”

The wealthy tourist town, curated and cared for by members of the Rockefeller family for generations, also offers plenty of shopping, dining, cultural stimulation, and a multitude of outdoor activities. It’s also not too far from neighboring resort areas such as Killington,

Ludlow, and the Quechee Gorge.

A year-round destination that’s sure to inspire no matter the season, the idyllic country village really shines during the winter months. Colder season events include a Wassail weekend in December, plus skiing, sledding, snowshoeing, fat tire biking, snowmobiling, ice skating, ice fishing, ice climbing and sleigh rides as long as the weather allows.

FUN FACTS: • Broadway star Gwen Verdon and actress Daphne Zuniga are both from Woodstock.

• The Chevy Chase movie Funny Farm was filmed here, as were a handful of others.

• The Academy Award-nominated film A Place in the Land highlights the community and its sustainable farm.

• The Norman Williams Public Library, located in a grand circa-1883 stone building, the library is a cornerstone of the community. Located on the “Green,” it’s host to more than 400 public programs a year.

UPCOMING ANNUAL EVENTS FOR 2024: • The Covered Bridge Half Marathon in June • July 4 Patriotic Events for Independence Day • The 14th annual Taste of Woodstock in August • The Woodstock Art Festival in September • The Fall Hunter Jumper Show in September • The 52nd annual Apples and Craft Fair in October • Leaf Peeping in October and November • The 39th annual Wassail Weekend in December

PLACES OF INTEREST: • The Suicide Six Downhill Ski Area, which is a 10-minute drive from the village Green. The site boasts the use of America’s first ski-tow rope, which was powered by a Ford Model T engine. A family-friendly resort, it offers a mix of terrain for beginner, intermediate and advanced skiers on three lifts and 24 trails.

• The Billings Farm and Museum, a 150-year-old working dairy farm and museum. Formerly owned by Laurance and Mary Rockefeller, née Billings, the landmark farm is host to cows, sheep, horses, oxen, and chickens. There’s always something to do there, from farm-to-table
