Your Guide to Buying a Home in Dover Town, NY

Buying a Home in Dover Town, New York

Dover Town is located in Dutchess County

The Town of Dover is only 90 minutes north of Manhattan and nestled in the gentle slopes of the Berkshire and Taconic mountains. Dover is located in the historic Harlem Valley, which offers visitors a day-trip to an outdoor paradise, or a place to work and raise a family.

Since the early 1700s when the Yankees and the Yorkers disputed the boundary between New York and Connecticut, landowners have maintained the small town charm, the rural beauty of the landscape and the endless opportunities to relax, refresh and invigorate body and spirit.

The hamlets of Dover Plains and Wingdale, which comprise the Town of Dover, flourished over the early years as a respite for cattle drovers and later with the introduction of the railroad. Many outdoor sports are available. There is golf, hiking, horseback-riding and trout fishing, to list a few, as well as the ever-popular indoor sports of antique hunting and dining in award-winning restaurants. Seasonal festivities are scheduled throughout the year; the Strawberry Festival in May, Dover Day in June, the Fireman's Carnival in July, the Harvest Festival in October and the annual Children's Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting Ceremony in December.
