$24k in property taxes in the NY metro zone isn't extraordinary. A quick look in Zillow shows that a modest home in Tuxedo Park at <25% of the "garage mahal" house's asking price and perhaps 1/2 the square footage will have a $10k+ property tax bill attached.
We have the highest property taxes in the country here. Its one of the reasons why people often flee the scene upon retirement. Its also the reason why a family living here with an income level that is considered "wealthy" or "rich" in much of the country isn't living high on the hog by local standards.
