Getting to Waccabuc is as easy as it is to pronounce the name (Wak-a-Buk); just take Route 35 and then head down Mead Street. But slow down or you may miss this charming, bucolic hamlet that’s reminiscent of a rural village in the Adirondacks or Vermont. Legend has it that during the American Revolution, the French army came through the area on their way to meet General Washington. Some say the layout of the Waccabuc roads hasn’t changed all that much since.
This pastoral setting is part of Waccabuc’s enduring appeal with homeowners looking for space away from the city, but not too far away (75 minute train ride from Katonah or Goldens Bridge stations). Limiting development by imposing minimum property sizes ensures that Waccabuc residents have plenty of space to enjoy a life surrounded by nature; the notable exception to this rule is the Hunt Farm home development. Without a traditional downtown, neighbors tend to bump into each other at the local post-office, at cultural events hosted at the Mead Memorial Chapel, at the Waccabuc Country Club or at the Waccabuc Lake beach. Dining and shopping are found in nearby Cross River, South Salem or Katonah.
