Calling all hunters and outdoor enthusiasts! This 55-acre mostly wooded parcel in Bethel features a big open field surrounded by woods, stone walls, and trails. Walk to a nice pond. Four-bedroom, 2-bath house will benefit from some sprucing up but it sits nicely on the lot and offers a functional platform from which to start enjoying the property. A pleasant sunroom leads to a big deck that looks over the lawn, field, and woods. There is also a cabin in handyman condition, as well as a utility shed. This is a very quiet setting on a nice back road, yet is close to the restaurants in Kauneonga Lake, Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center, and offers easy access to Route 17.
