Can a couple of longtime Brooklynites survive the peace and quiet of a 17 acre property in Upstate New York’s Hudson Valley? It took a little time for Lisa Preudhomme and Servulus Billy, who moved from Brooklyn to Holmes, New York, but they eventually fell in love with the beauty and serenity of country living. The couple aren’t always alone on their property – their estate contains three homes, two of which are rented out as Airbnbs. For more about this relocation to greener pastures, check out Episode 185 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.

Lisa and Servulus’ estate is known as Westerhall Gardens and the two Airbnbs are The Dahlia Villa and Hibiscus House.
