Surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Hilltowns, this property has the potential to transform into something special. The buyer who turns this vacant land into their dream home will enjoy a daily drive through pastoral views and rolling mountains. The lot offers a wooded escape in the midst of the mature forest. With 10.75 acres, long road frontage, and a recent survey all you have to do is start exploring this property and staking out your place to build. Some selective clearing in the woods can unlock the beautiful rolling mountain views the Helderbergs are known for. The land has not been logged in years and it should hold considerable value with stands of oak, maple, hemlock, and hickory trees. Although the property appears steep off the road, the southern end has a gradual slope up to a beautiful level plateau approximately 60 feet wide, which could be an ideal place to build. The property climbs like a staircase with an incline followed by level plateau, which repeats 3 times before reaching the back line. With some excavation to cut in a driveway and some selective tree clearing you can add instant equity to this property and have a serene, wooded escape with the views of the hills and forest on the next mountain over.
