Horse country, long drives, and power that stays on.
North Salem is the top of the county: farms, horse properties, stone walls and houses set a long way back from Titicus Road, with barns and guest houses that have to be part of the system.
Distance is the first problem on a North Salem property. The main house, the barn, the guest cottage and the pool are rarely within wireless reach of one another, and the answer is buried cable or fibre to each, with a proper access point inside. We do this often and it works for good.
Power is the second. North Salem loses it more than anywhere else we work, and for longer. Savant Power with the generator on the same plan keeps the house, the well pump and the barn running without anyone going outside in the storm.
Then the pleasures: music outdoors that reaches the terrace and not the road, landscape lighting that shows the stone walls and the old trees, and a media room for the evenings when nobody is driving down to the city.
Houses here run from 1700s farmhouses to contemporary barns, and we walk every property before saying a word about scope. North Salem is about twenty-five minutes from the showroom up 684.

An easier first step
Come and sit in the seating before you decide anything.
The showroom is at 5 N Greenwich Rd in Armonk, with CinemaTech seating on the floor. Ten minutes in the chairs, handling the finishes, settles more than a swatch card will, and it costs nothing.
Common questions
Questions we get from North Salem homeowners.
- Can you get reliable internet to the barn and the guest house?
- Yes. Wire, not wireless. A buried run of fibre or outdoor-rated cable to each building and a proper access point inside. It is the only answer that lasts.
- What is the right power backup for a property with a well and a barn?
- Battery storage for the circuits that cannot wait, with the generator for the long outages. Savant Power lets you choose what runs and for how long, and we size it with your electrician to the actual loads.
- Will outdoor speakers carry to the neighbours?
- Not if placed properly. Bollards aimed at the seating rather than the property line give full sound where you are and very little beyond. We set levels standing where the neighbours would.
