Preston-Potter Hollow, NY

Preston-Potter Hollow covers a quiet collection of rural hamlets, including Preston Hollow, Potter Hollow, and Cooksburg, in the southwestern corner of Albany County. Home to a few hundred residents, the area sits right where Albany, Greene, and Schoharie counties meet. Daily life here moves at an easy, peaceful pace, with winding country roads, wooded hills, and open farmland stretching toward the northern Catskills.

The community has deep agricultural roots dating back to the late eighteenth century, and that heritage is still visible in the classic farmsteads and historic nineteenth-century buildings scattered throughout the valleys. People moving to this corner of Rensselaerville are usually looking for room to breathe, quiet acreage, and a scenic rural lifestyle that still keeps Albany and Hudson Valley day trips within reach.
