Build Your Catskills Dream on 10+ Private Acres Near Briscoe Lake Discover the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience with this exceptional 10+ acre parcel on peaceful Hurd Road. Just moments from the tranquil 59-acre Briscoe Lake, this property offers a rare opportunity to build your dream home in one of Sullivan County's one of the most picturesque settings. Much of the work has already been completed, saving you valuable time and expense. The property has been surveyed, the building site has been cleared, engineering approvals are in place, and architectural plans are available. The approved plans include a 2-bedroom single-family home designed to accommodate a future expansion of up to 5 bedrooms, along with a 1,500-gallon concrete septic system. Driveway access has been cleared, electricity is available at the road, and the property offers approximately 1,500 feet of road frontage. The current homesite has already been cleared and is ready for construction, while the property also offers three additional potential building sites. By selectively clearing trees, you can choose a different homesite and enjoy beautiful elevated views. At the upper portion of the property, a year-round mountain stream flows through the land, providing a plentiful water source. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being steps away from Briscoe Lake, known for its peaceful setting, fishing, and kayaking, as well as being minutes away from the Delaware River, renowned for its world-class trout fishing, including brown trout, along with bass and other recreational opportunities. Ideally located just minutes from Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, Resorts World Catskills Casino, local restaurants, shopping, hiking trails, and countless outdoor activities, this property is also less than two hours from New York City, making it the perfect location for a full-time residence, retreat, or weekend escape. Bring your vision, everything is in place to start building the lifestyle you've been dreaming of.
