28+ Acres in Woodstock with Views Set at the foot of Mt. Tobias and surrounded by protected state and conservancy land on all sides, this exceptional 28+ acre parcel offers a rare opportunity to build with lasting privacy just minutes from the heart of Woodstock. An established driveway leads to a thoughtfully cleared build site where expansive valley and mountain views create a stunning backdrop for a future home. The site holds a current Board of Health approval for a private well and a 4-bedroom septic system, which can be provided upon request. Electric service and 1Gbps internet are available for connection at the road. Above the build site the land climbs into tall hardwoods, mossy Appalachian boulders and old stone walls tracing the property lines. Near the top are waterfalls in the upper woods. With no possibility of future development on the surrounding mountainside, the setting is remarkably peaceful, private, and preserved. Despite its secluded feel, the property is less than ten minutes from the center of Woodstock by car (or 30 minutes by bike on the back roads around Cooper Lake), offering easy access to the town's acclaimed restaurants, galleries, music venues, and shops, along with nearby hiking, skiing, fishing, golf and many other outdoor activities. Beyond Woodstock, the property is central to the Hudson Valley's popular locations, including the Ashokan Reservoir (10 minutes), Belleayre (25 minutes), Hunter Mountain (30), and Kingston and Saugerties (30). Minnewaska State Park is 45 minutes south, the Adirondacks and Lake George roughly two hours north. New York City and Newark International Airport are two hours to the south. Albany International Airport is one hour to the north. This rare combination of privacy, protected surroundings, mountain views, and build-ready infrastructure makes this an exceptional opportunity in one of the Catskills' most sought-after locations.
Rare opportunity to own 28+ acres at the base of Mt. Tobias on one of the most desirable and scenic roads in Woodstock! With amazing mountain views and bordered by protected land for maximum privacy, this glorious piece of land is an ideal parcel to build your dream home! A gravel driveway (which was recently regraded to improve water management) winds up to a potential build site perched high above the road below - it’s easy to imagine your new home with tons of windows facing that view! There also are approved plans for in-ground septic for a 3-bedroom house which do require renewal. The rest of the land beyond the home site is wooded and slopes steeply up towards the back of the property which borders protected land. No need to go outside the borders of your property to go on some great outdoor adventures! Additionally, the seller is an architect who has thoughtfully designed a home that is beautifully integrated into the topography of the parcel and is open to providing design services for this or any other home on the property. Sample site plan and renderings shown in listing photos are for inspirational purposes only. Located in the hamlet of Willow in the town of Woodstock, the parcel is perfectly situated just minutes to dining and shopping in the villages of Woodstock and Phoenicia. It is also near many wilderness areas (Mt. Tremper trailhead just down the road) where one can enjoy nature and all kinds of outdoor activities and 25-30 minutes to skiing at Belleayre or Hunter Mountain while being just two hours from the GWB in NYC!
