Property Description
Calling all developers looking for one of the most unique opportunities in the Catskills or buyers that want to build a family compound or single family home on an exceptional piece of land. The property includes mountain views of both the Catskills and the Shawangunks, 920 feet of Rondout creek frontage, rolling wildflower filled meadows and magical hardwood and pine forests, all teeming with abundant wildlife in all shapes and sizes. DEVELOPERS: This is your opportunity to own an entirely unique 10-lot conservation subdivision in the desirable hamlet of High Falls. The lots range in size from 1.1 to 3.9 acres and include shared access to 64 acres of permanently conserved land that weaves its way over massive meadows, through dense forests and along 920 feet of direct creek frontage. No other development in the Catskills has this type of shared amenity and offers such a unique value proposition to potential buyers. Imagine creating a community of active, nature-oriented buyers that want to be able to walk out their door and engage the outdoors, walk the dog or take long hikes over the rolling meadows and through the forest, drop a fishing line or kayak in the river, host picnics or barbecues in the vast open fields or on the riverside, all while staying on collectively owned property. It will be up to the developer as to how to design this compelling shared amenity (e.g. trail network, picnic tables, platforms, dock, etc.). Three lots currently have mountain views and, with some clearing, an additional lot could have these views as well. One lot is set in close proximity to the river. Seven lots are primarily wooded in nature. FAMILY COMPOUND / SINGLE FAMILY BUYERS: Note that the subdivision does not yet have final approval. As such, the current plan can be withdrawn and revised to accommodate a single family home or multiple homes. Over the course of the past two years the owner has done all of the heavy lifting with the town and planning board and has been granted final conditional approval. Please reach out to learn more about the outstanding items and estimated timeline to final approval. In close proximity to (i) Inness resort, where membership provides access to two pools, tennis courts, a gym and all sorts of programming, (ii) Westwind Orchard and Arrowood Brewery, both farm-to-table community gathering spots, (iii) Saunderskill and Kelders, where you can both pick and purchase local produce, (iv) a plethora of additional markets, restaurants and farm stands and (v) hiking, climbing, biking in the Ashokan Reservoir, Catskills and Minnewaska as well as skiing at Belleayre/Plattekill.
