Hillside Hideaway Lot 1

Oct 25

Written By Arlena Armstrong-Petock

At the very end of a quiet, dead-end road sits this 5.9 acre parcel in the low-tax town of Olive. Being adjacent to protected “forever wild” New York State Land, and with full creek access to Dry Book, a tributary to the Ashokan Reservoir which is only 2 miles down the road, are only two of the many perks to this parcel. Fully engineered and BOH approved for a four bedroom home, the parcel is also being sold with unique building plans from a local builder which one could further customize if they wish. This lot has the potential to host your dream home above the river and create stunning Wittenberg and Samuel’s Point Mountain views by opening up views to the North West. The adjacent 3.8 acre lot is also available for sale for those interested in creating a compound or carving out their own trails for weekend recreation. Electric is available at the entrance of the lot.

1hr 50mins from the George Washington Bridge, and 2hr 10min from the Kosciuszko Bridge, this is the perfect weekend property or potential forever home with quick access to the city.

Hillside Dr is a short drive to Marty’s Mercantile, The Ashokan Rail Trail, and the Town of Olive Lester S Davis Park (5 mins). Grab brunch at the Phoenicia Diner (16 mins), or go for a dip at Peekamoose Blue Hole and hike in the Sundown Wild Forest (18 mins) via Watson Hollow Road. Hudson Valley hotspots like Westwind Orchard, Arrowood Brewery, and StoneHill’s Farmhouse (30 mins) are an easy trip, while your Woodstock favorites like SILVIA, Good Night, and Bread Alone (25 mins) are an easy and beautiful drive around the reservoir.
