If you've been dreaming of a private compound—or the flexibility of building your own home alongside an investment property—this rare 39-acre offering in Austerlitz opens the door to endless possibilities. The land is thoughtfully divided into two separate parcels of 19.55 acres each, set within a neighborhood known for its sweeping landscapes, privacy, and architecturally impressive homes. The eastern lot already has Board of Health approval, with three acres cleared and ready for construction. There's also the opportunity to engineer a pond (see rendering in photos), adding another layer of magic to an already stunning setting. Picture rolling hills, forests that stretch for miles, and wide-open skies—an unmistakably bucolic backdrop just waiting for your vision to take shape. Perfectly positioned for year-round enjoyment, the property offers easy access to skiing at the newly revitalized Catamount Mountain Resort and is just 2.5 hours from the George Washington Bridge. From here, you're immersed in the best of the region—culture, dining, museums, farmers markets, hiking, skiing, and a vibrant arts scene across Greene County and the Berkshires.
