North Salem is the Northeast’s equine epicenter…the ‘equicenter’! It’s one of all of America’s most authentic and vibrant equestrian communities! It’s the capital of klippetyklop! The best bet for the bit-and-bridle bunch! A bit further north than Bedford, but within B&NC Country’s borders, North Salem offers an even more undisturbed landscape of rolling hills, dirt roads, and large bodies of water. …And what stands out most about North Salem is the enormity of the equestrian properties!

“The paddock was empty when I started to operate the property, together with several colleagues, as a healing center, back in 2005,” renowned doctor of Integrative Medicine, Michael Finkelstein recounts. “We built out the farm and rescued two horses, and built a large community garden - welcoming lots of people who were nourished by the process and the produce. It wasn’t until 2010, when Robin and I moved in, that we made the changes to make it a comfortable home.”
