Pine Plains Sees Four Property Sales This Spring — Including Record-Breaking $3.4M Deal

PINE PLAINS, NY —
Between March and April 2025, the quiet town of Pine Plains recorded four public residential property sales, showcasing a wide range in home values—from a historic high of $3.4 million to a modest $130,000 sale for a fixer-upper. These figures highlight both the diversity of the housing market and the increasing demand for homes in this scenic part of Dutchess County.

Highest Sale in a Decade

The most notable transaction was the sale of 420 Carpenter Hill Road, a six-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom estate built in 1996. The property, known for its spacious layout and private setting, sold for $3,425,000 on April 6, marking the highest residential sale in Pine Plains over the past 10 years.

A Mix of Historic and Modest Homes

In contrast, the other three sales reflected more modest and historic offerings:

2854 Church Street, a charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom home built in 1911, changed hands for $810,000 on April 11.
Just down the road, 3088 Church Street, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home dating back to 1872, sold for $307,500 on March 20.
The most affordable sale was 10 Academy Street, a two-bedroom, one-bathroom house in need of renovation. It sold for $130,000 on April 4 and represents an opportunity for restoration in the heart of the Pine Plains hamlet.

Current Inventory and Market Snapshot

As of May 11, the Pine Plains market included only 10 active home listings, spread across three price tiers:

Three listings priced over $1 million
Four listings under $400,000
Three listings between $400,000 and $1 million

This limited inventory suggests a competitive market, especially for buyers seeking homes under the $400,000 mark.
