A Different Kind of Real Estate Brokerage

We’re three businesses in one: a brokerage, a retail store, and a design studio. Whether you’re buying or selling, that means more expertise, more exposure, and more ways to make your next move the right one.

EXPERIENTIAL MARKETING

Your listing lives in our retail store, where thousands of Hudson Valley visitors walk through monthly. Buying? That same storefront is where you’ll discover properties you won’t find online.

A Design Studio in Your Corner

Selling? We’ll advise on what to renovate before you list. Buying? We’ll help you see what a property could become. Expert guidance most brokerages can’t offer.

Three Networks, One Goal

Our brokerage reaches active buyers and sellers. Our store attracts lifestyle-driven visitors before they start searching. Our design studio connects us with homeowners investing in their properties.

RECENTLY LISTED

UD Selects

UD Selects highlights homes for sale through Upstate Down that are defined by architectural character or exceptional craftsmanship and luxury.

Waterfall House

The Waterfall House is one of the most significant architectural offerings ever to come to market in the Hudson Valley. Designed by Steve Mensch and completed in 1985, the estate sits on 25 private acres directly above a 60-foot waterfall on the Landsman Kill, with four copper-roofed structures, including the main house, two guest houses, and a three-story studio, connected by covered walkways and stone paths. Just minutes from Rhinebeck Village and the Amtrak station, it is offered at the highest price point in our history.

The Woodland Modern

The Woodland Modern is a striking artist’s home tucked down a private road in Milan, New York, built in 1993 by its first owner, a noted local artist, in collaboration with a renowned architect and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and his mid-century contemporaries. Set on six wooded acres, the home features floor-to-ceiling windows, a sunken living room, and an open floor plan, with a primary suite and living room fully reimagined in a 2023 renovation. A standalone 1,000-square-foot studio completes the property, just minutes from Red Hook and Rhinebeck.

We had a wonderful experience working with Kate Laing as our Realtor when selling our home in Millerton. Kate was incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, and helpful throughout the entire process. She was always willing to answer our questions, address our concerns, and take the time to make sure we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. Kate was always caring and attentive. She made us feel valued as clients and never made us feel like any question or concern was too small. Her patience and dedication made what can be a stressful process feel much easier. We are incredibly grateful for all of her help and would highly recommend Kate Laing to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients! Thanks Kate:)

Working with Anthony Winters was truly one of the best parts of my home-buying experience. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, reliable, attentive, honest, and completely genuine. He responded immediately to all my texts and requests with warm professionalism, which made me feel supported and reassured throughout the process. I quickly came to trust his instincts and guidance, and that trust became incredibly important as I navigated what was ultimately a very big and emotional decision. He never made me feel pressured or like I was simply another transaction. He took the time to understand what mattered to me, listened carefully, and offered thoughtful opinions when I needed them. And somehow, he made what could have been a stressful process genuinely enjoyable. I actually looked forward to our time together. His guidance and support played a huge role in my ultimate decision to buy this house, and I’m incredibly grateful for that. He was impeccable in every way, both professionally and personally. I couldn’t recommend him more highly

Trish Dantzic has been absolutely fantastic for our family’s search for a new home. We purchased our home with her help and now are using her services again for our next. In both instances her straight forward and caring approach is exactly the kind of guidance that we have needed as first time and now second time home buyers. Her knowledge of the Hudson Valley is extensive. Her follow up and responsiveness is excellent. Simply put we feel extremely comfortable speaking with and working with her. She cares for her clients and their needs and that shows through every interaction we’ve had with her. Would recommend!

We had an absolutely incredible experience working with Hazel Kiesewetter at Upstate Down. She was exceptional from beginning to end, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better person to sell our home. What particularly stood out was the level of attention and care Hazel brought to understanding the property. We had put an enormous amount of thought and work into our home, and she not only appreciated the details, but really understood them. That meant she was able to communicate what made the property special to prospective buyers with a level of knowledge and specificity that was incredibly impressive. She was equally brilliant at communicating with us. She really took the time to understand how we liked to work and adapted to our communication style, keeping us completely informed without ever overwhelming us with unnecessary information. Throughout the entire process, we felt comfortable, confident and completely supported. And ultimately, she delivered. We got exactly the outcome we had hoped for, which is testament not only to how thoughtful and meticulous she is, but to how effective she is as an agent. Hazel is genuinely a 10/10. I would work with her on absolutely anything if I could, and we are so happy we chose her and Upstate Down to represent our home.

Two properties now closed with Anthony Winters from Upstate Down. Both were our first pick and he helped us get in position to win them and close them. If there’s ever a third property it will no doubt be with Anthony! Guess that says it all :)

As first-time home buyers, we appreciated her patience and willingness to answer questions throughout the process. Kate is friendly, personable, honest, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend her to anyone in the Hudson Valley looking for a new home!
