Why OwlCrest

OwlCrest is 40 acres of granite laden beautiful woods atop a mountain in Brattelboro, Vermont. I purchased the land with the intent of making it a retreat where my children, families, and their families could re-connect with the most primitive elements of life. OwlCrest is a place to discover our hidden talents and pursue dreams without complexity or judgement. OwlCrest is a place just to be.....

At dusk, if you sit quietly long enough at the crest of the land and listen, you will hear the rhythms of the forest. Owls calling out their names and asking who else is there. I'm here and who are you? We are just a visitor here, a temporary custodian of something that will soon be forgotten. I lived and worked here once. It was my privilege.

OwlCrest - A Place To Be

OwlCrest is 40 acres of granite laden beautiful woods atop a mountain in Brattelboro, Vermont.  I purchased the land with the intent of making it a retreat where my children and their families could re-connect with the most primitive elements of life.   OwlCrest is a place to discover our hidden talents and pursue dreams without complexity or judgement. OwlCrest is a place just to be..... 

 I had a heart attack when I was 53 years young and managed to survive simply because I was within 10 minutes of a hospital.  OwlCrest has given me tranquility and the hope to live what is remaining of my life in a state of just being.  No rushing for the next train, the next movie, a good seat at a restaurant, the next customer, or the next job.   I am sorry it took a heart attack to teach me to live in the moment.   My hope is that OwlCrest will be a place for generations that my family can live in the moment without the catalyst of a major life event.
