Amenia, New York real estate is rural in the very best of ways. The town's name originates from a word meaning “pleasant to the eye," and it is a quiet, small town where antique-shop-lined streets fill with spectators for summer parades and folks come out to cheer for the local team. There are horse farms, broad fields, and rolling hills - all very pleasant to the eye. New York City commuters who want to enjoy country life are waiting for the train in the Amenia hamlet of Wassaic on Monday mornings.
On the Town of Amenia website it says, “From baseball to cricket, farming to horticulture, fly fishing to enjoying our local aquaponically raised trout while dining out, you'll find something that speaks to you here in the Town of Amenia.” The list of community clubs aptly illustrates the lifestyle in town: Amenia Fish and Game, chess, seniors, 4H, Little League, co-ed softball, basketball camp, martial arts, golf clubs, soccer, swimming, tennis, volleyball.
Amenia’s outdoor activities take place in a number of spots. Beekman Park, through volunteer construction efforts, has three baseball and two softball fields. The Harlem Valley Rail Trail starts at Wassaic's Train Station and runs through town. The Wassaic Multiple Use Area is a 488-acre state forest entirely open to non-motorized recreation.
Looking for culture? Music, art, dance and film are on offer at The Wassaic Project, where they present intimate festivals, monthly open studios, artist talks and donor events in a historic grain elevator turned exhibition space and auction barn turned studio and workshop. They've mounted three or more exhibitions per year in over 8,000 square feet of gallery space and call themselves “a residency of and for Wassaic, not just in it.”
Relax at Troutbeck, cuddle by the fieldstone fireplace at Hilltop House B&B, camp at Four Brothers or check out Sharon Country Inn just over the state line.
The Harlem Valley Rail Trail runs through Amenia, the town parks have basketball courts and there are year-round sports at Wassaic Multiple Use Area.
Amenia entertainment is music, movies, maybe a car show at Four Brothers Drive-in, avant-garde art exhibits & block parties at Wassaic Project & theater at nearby Sharon Playhouse!
Buy local Amenia produce at the year-round Amenia Farmers Market, & it’s not only food. Head north of town to McEnroe Organic Farm Market & King’s Highway Cider to pick up prepared foods to go.
Grape Leaf Dolma at Serevan Swiss Chard Lasagna with Castelvetrano Olive, Parmesan, Pine Nut Pesto at Troutbeck! Two Eggs on a Roll at Richie's Deli!
Amenia Yoga offers peaceful classes, lash lifts are available at Wildly Lush, & Troutbeck Barn has wellness offerings like meditation, Tai Chi, tennis & massage.
Amenia shopping can be a book you always wanted at Yellow Submarine or a teapot at Enchanting Cottage, a Kroehler chair at Amenia Station antiques or an appraisal at Blueberry Hill Galleries.

When you're searching for a home in Amenia, community amenities are important! The Four Brothers Drive-In Theater isn’t just movies but also a hotel, camp site and restaurant; moviegoers can stretch their legs by the fire pit or hang out in the dining room and you'll find locals and visitors there on any given night.
The 1,200-acre park at Wethersfield was left to the town by Chauncey Devereux Stillman; “With a passion for nature, beauty, and proper stewardship of the land, Mr. Stillman was an accomplished equestrian, an avid conservationist and a lover of the arts and the intellectual life.” His legacy lives on at the park. The site comprises the main house, carriage house, gardens and farm, all at an elevation of 1,200 feet, providing panoramic views of the Catskills to the west and the Berkshires to the north. Another community mainstay is the unusual Heather Metal Parking Lot, inspired by the 1988 film Heathers and the 1986 documentary Heavy Metal Parking Lot. It’s held at Luther Barn Field in Wassaic, and is, “a night of pickup truck pig roasts, beer pong, free tattoos, macabre films, DJs, art installations...and truckloads of firewood...”
As for more quotidian nightlife, there aren't a lot of entertainment venues, but there are a few restaurants including the Great Cape Baking Company, for breakfast and lunch with nice breads, home-made salads, fresh donuts and other pastries.
The dining room at the 250-acre Troutbeck hotel serves a small but creative menu; among other tempting breakfast items is French toast with crème fraiche and roasted apple. The granola is home-made at Back in the Kitchen, a well-known local spot for breakfast and lunch.
Not just ales and wines but house-made pasta, wood-fired pizza, salads, wings and ramen can be had at Lantern Inn, where you dine with cool music by the stream in summer or in a rustic room in winter. Very nice!
