Charlie Brassard, better known to many as “Culinary Closer,” is making waves again — this time in Red Hook. The Mahar Real Estate agent just landed exclusive representation for a nine-site residential development, with a total projected sell-out between $11 and $13 million.
Each of the nine potential sites offers the rare opportunity to build a custom-designed modern retreat in one of the Hudson Valley’s most desirable pockets. Tucked into the rural quietude of Red Hook but close to Rhinebeck and Bard, the project blends clean architectural vision with flexibility for buyers who want space, privacy, and the chance to shape their own home. And yes, Charlie will walk every inch of that land with you. He’s the guy who will tromp through fields, pointing out potential, and talking about septic systems like they’re dinner conversation.


But Charlie’s not just here for the big deals — he’s building community, too. On July 8th, he hosted ‘Home Cooked,’ a sold out fried chicken pop-up fundraiser for Columbia County Recovery Kitchen. The event took place at Padrona (HUGE shout out and thank you to Kat Dunn for the staff and the space) who made the night a major hit with over $2,000 raised to support food access for those in need. Great food, good people, and a cause that matters? That’s a win all around.
In the ever-evolving world of Hudson Valley real estate, Charlie Brassard is a rare mix: a little grit, a little glam, and a whole lot of hustle. Whether he’s helping someone find their dream property or organizing a pop-up for a good cause, Charlie brings the same energy: real, rooted, and ready to go.
So if you’re dreaming about land, thinking about building, or just hungry for biscuits and real estate banter, you know who to call.
