Time will tell--I admit I am surprised.
With many far more attractive sites around, I cannot imagine how these people will salvage anything from this pile of crap that will justify this purchase. It's stunning. I am a big fan of rural Greene County--it is close enough to NYC to be a real destination, and it's beautiful and varied. River towns, skiing, farms, good golf, fishing, hiking and even some culture both in Catskill area and in Hudson across the river.
But why Friar Tuck stumps me.
