Set on over 2 acres, this exceptional building lot offers sun-drenched westerly exposure, postcard-worthy sunset views, and coveted access to Lake Peekskill. The parcel has already been cleared, providing a seamless start for construction and an advantageous layout for solar panels. With preserved land directly next door, you'll enjoy enduring privacy and a peaceful natural setting. Convenient to the Peekskill trains station, close to shopping on Rte 6 and close to the Taconic State Parkway, the location is ideal.
Lake Peekskill, located between Peekskill Hollow Road and the Taconic State Parkway corridor, is a lakeside and wooded Putnam Valley neighborhood with a private-lake shoreline and winding hillside roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Lake Peekskill Community Center by the water, where seasonal gatherings and a low-key, outdoors-first rhythm set the tone. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century cabins, updated lake cottages, and contemporary rebuilds tucked into the trees. Lake Peekskill Beach and the surrounding shoreline define daily routines with swimming, paddling, and sunset walks. Nearby, Fahnestock State Park adds trail networks and reservoir views that keep the landscape feeling expansive. A short drive to the hamlet center brings local staples like the Putnam Valley Town Park and the Putnam Valley Library for community programming.
