29+/- GRACIOUS ACRES WITH VIEWS, MEADOWS, WOODS. SERVICES ARE ALREADY IN. 2HRS GWB.
What a treat it is to walk this magical property. Conveniently located on State Route 42 just a half mile from the border with Grahamsville, turning up the paved driveway you are whisked away from civilization, through trees, then by a large meadow, then up further to a quiet, peaceful aerie that is completely private. At the top of the drive the payoff is the fabulous wide-open views. Over the last 30 years the owner has cleared several meadows, outlined with stone walls, leaving plenty of woods in which he has hunted successfully over these decades. In one clearing an apple orchard provides a bountiful harvest in the fall. Follow another wooded path, and the space opens up, with rock ledge showing itself higher up. In fact, there are some pretty dramatic rock outcroppings in a number of spots on the pr...
What a treat it is to walk this magical property. Conveniently located on State Route 42 just a half mile from the border with Grahamsville, turning up the paved driveway you are whisked away from civilization, through trees, then by a large meadow, then up further to a quiet, peaceful aerie that is completely private. At the top of the drive the payoff is the fabulous wide-open views. Over the last 30 years the owner has cleared several meadows, outlined with stone walls, leaving plenty of woods in which he has hunted successfully over these decades. In one clearing an apple orchard provides a bountiful harvest in the fall. Follow another wooded path, and the space opens up, with rock ledge showing itself higher up. In fact, there are some pretty dramatic rock outcroppings in a number of spots on the property. The woods are pleasing to stroll, with several instances of wild laurel and wild rhododendron over ten feet tall. In other areas blueberry shrubs abound. At the top of the driveway there is a recreational trailer with porch built-on (circa 1983). While this is not meant to be appropriate for full-time living, it would be usable while building the house of your dreams in any of a number of dramatic settings. It has heat and a/c, and power and phone lines run to the structure as well. There is an insulated, 550 sq ft garage with electric and plenty of storage cupboards, with extra space in an attic above. Anyone contemplating building would be spoiled for choice in terms of spots with views or appealing, natural settings. And with well, driveway and services already in, much of the hassle of building has already been done.
