320 Ny-208,

Amazing opportunity to build your dream home on one of the most beautiful pieces of land in the Hudson Valley. The property comprises 114 acres of meadows and woodland, with nearly 2,000 feet of direct frontage on the babbling Platte Kill stream. The Platte Kill has been recognized as a recreational trout stream, right in your back yard. The property also includes two ponds, one of which is quite large and likely spring-fed (it has remained clear all season, even as most local ponds are covered with algae). The wildlife on the property is incredible - the land has been untouched for many years, and is home to all manner of birds and butterflies, foxes and racoons. A pair of rare green herons are nesting in a tree on the edge of the second pond, and the property hosts one of the largest oak trees I have ever seen. Mowed trails throughout the property allow for an hour long hike on your own land! Ideal for horses, with several out buildings and a barn that could likely be utilized. One of the things that makes this 114-acre private sanctuary so unique is it's exceptional convenience - just a 5-minute drive into Downtown New Paltz, a 7-minute drive to the I-87 exit, and a 10-minue drive up into the mountains. New Paltz is a charming college town, know for it's hiking, biking, rock climbing, eclectic shops and restaurants, and vibrant music and art culture. The large size of the property has many advantages. Once you have decided on your home site, you have the option to carve off additional lots, which could be used for family members or sold to recoup some or all of your purchase price. The RA Zoning stipulates a 5-acre minimum lot size and 300 feet of road frontage. Since the existing lot has approximately 2,800 feet of road frontage, many additional lots could be created if desired - though the land is so private and appealing, you may want to keep all of it for yourself! It should be noted that current ownership completed a significant amount of due diligence and land studies when they were exploring the possibility of building a multi-family townhouse-type cluster development. It was concluded that a 53-unit development was permitted, utilizing cluster development zoning bonuses. All of this completed due diligence information, including surveys, well tests, septic perc tests, etc., will be valuable and useful for a new owner, regardless of the future plans for the property. Please join me for a tour of this wonderful land - you have to see it to believe it.
