Craryville is one of several charming hamlets comprising the town of Copake in a lovely rural part of Columbia County. When the Harlem Railroad was established through Columbia County, the station in what is now Craryville went by the name of Bains, for hotel owner Peter Bain. When the land was purchased by Peter Crary, the station became known by a new name: Craryville.
Craryville has the feel of a close-knit village, although State Route 23 runs through it, providing easy access to amenities. On the satellite map you mainly see forest (that’s the Taconic State Park) and farmland, with very few businesses. One of the ones you do see is Random Harvest, right near the intersection of routes 7 and 23. More than a market, it’s a worker-owned café and gathering place, where at any time there might be a yoga class, poetry reading or music event. In their deli they sell sandwiches with names like Satisfaction, Fulfillment, Love and Simplicity. They have a couple of community initiatives, including Monday Munchies, when people pick up food on the porch, and a Food Access Fund for those in need, in conjunction with Multicultural Bridge.

Not a quarter-mile from Random Harvest is Berts Inn. Bert, which is to say Roberta, runs a friendly, laid back place with a pool table and bar where wings get top marks. With Hillsdale being the next town to the east, there are several choices for good restaurants, including the Zagat-rated CrossRoads Food Shop. Less than 10 miles from Craryville is John Andrews Farmhouse Restaurant, in an international list of the 25 Best Farmstead Restaurants by the Daily Meal website.
There are loads of farms in the area; Columbia County has been all about agriculture since forever. One of the local farms that has a website and sells retail is Honey Dog Farm, whose mission is “to improve the earth incrementally by nurturing the soil including the water and the air conjunctly”; they sell fresh honey, sunflowers and vegetables. Then there’s White Oak Farm, a labor of love for Sally and Fred Laing since 1979; Fred’s gone, but their sons make sure you can still get corn, berries, flowers and Pete’s BBQ Sauce, a local favorite. In July the u-pick blueberry fields are ready to harvest. Scarecrow Farm sells not only vegetables, eggs and honey, but they’re also an outlet for local artisans’ creations, like wooden bowls, pottery, baskets, hand-smocked dresses and more. They even sell yarn made from the wool of sheep they raise.
Craryville real estate implies rural real estate. How about a nice 60-acre lot with barn and garage for a painting studio in a field? Or you might like a 70-acre land parcel with superb views of the Catskill Mountain range. Then there’s a one-of-a-kind circular Craryville home for sale warmed by a geothermal heating system with bluestone paths running through the pasture and woodlands. Move right into a split ranch with all new carpeting and a wraparound deck. Or if you don’t mind putting in some work, there are cottages and farmhouses available that could use a loving touch. Whatever you decide, there’s a Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty agent to help you make it happen!
