About Sankhara

Tim Hawkings is the founder of Sankhara Property Management, providing estate stewardship and property oversight for second homes and private estates throughout the Hudson Valley.

After more than two decades working internationally in the photography industry in New York City, he relocated to the Hudson Valley in 2016 and began focusing on residential property oversight. During this time, he also served as a volunteer firefighter with the local fire department.

He also brings a longstanding familiarity with fine art and antiquities, along with a strong awareness of accessibility considerations shaped by family experience.

His work has included the stewardship of historic and complex properties such as the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, Maverick Concert Hall, and the Grossman Estate.

To deepen his understanding of how exceptional homes are built and maintained, he later worked alongside some of the region’s most respected builders on architect-designed passive homes, developing a practical understanding of modern building systems.

That combined experience now informs his work overseeing properties on behalf of homeowners—helping ensure each property remains secure, functional, and ready when its owners return.
