By Reservoir & Bordering State Land

Farm Description

You don't have to trek hours to the mountains to enjoy the beauty of upstate New York. This stunning 113.83-Acre property is tucked among the trees of the breathtaking Hudson Highlands, about 15 miles east of the Hudson River. For additional privacy and protected scenery, the northern boundary of the property borders the Nimham Mountain Multiple Use Area.

Build your dream home just a stone's throw from West Branch Reservoir. The peaceful lake curves along the southwestern side of the property following Highway 301. The property's gradual incline from the lake provides expansive lakeshore views and panoramic beauty. As you make your way up, the elevation goes from 540 to 850 feet, so you have views from almost any point.

For easy access, there is a paved driveway at the southern boundary connecting to Highway 301. Electricity also runs along the southern border on Highway 301.

This property boasts unique and diverse landscapes, from the Hudson Valley hills across sparkling crystal lakes to the majestic mountains beyond. In fact, you can see New York City, the Berkshires, and the Catskills on a clear day from the 90-foot Ninham Mountain Fire Tower a few minutes from the property. In the fall, the hills are painted with vibrant foliage, and this property becomes an artist's dream.

This expansive property is as convenient as it is scenic. It's about an hour from Manhattan and about 40 minutes to Danbury, Connecticut. It's also about 35 miles north of Long Island Sound. These beautiful Hudson Valley hamlets like Carmel are ideal for families, artists, writers, and professionals who want to swap the big city hustle for fresh-air country life with a reasonable commute back into the city.
