Exploring New York's Hudson Valley in the glorious fall season

- 

WHAT SLEEPY getaway? New York’s Hudson Valley has become a center for real estate, art and farm-to-table restaurants.

Silo Ridge Field Club in Amenia is at the forefront of the high-end residential landscape. The 850-acre community is a Discovery Land Company property, a brand founded by Mike Meldman, a cofounder of Casamigos tequila with Rande Gerber and George Clooney.

Home prices start well into the seven figures, and in typical Discovery style the amenities rival and even surpass the offerings at the world’s top resorts. The renowned golf architect Tom Fazio designed the 18-hole course, notable for its backdrop of the picturesque Taconic Mountains and two comfort stations filled with food and drinks, such as tacos, sandwiches, ice cream, a candy bar, wine, a Casamigos margarita machine and Bloody Marys.
