This unbelievable 160 acres of land on the edge of the Catskill Mountains near the Hudson River has unlimited possibilities for development. Overlooking the Hudson Valley, portions of the property have stunning views. The brick faced ranch home was built in 1950 from trees harvested from the land. It's a 3,000 sq ft 4-5 bedroom ranch with an additional in-law living quarters. There is central air and a large diesel generator that can run the ranch home and the business as well.

The current ongoing concern, Joe Buzzanco's Greenhouses and Farm, has been a thriving family business for over 100 years. His daughter, Angela, has been lovingly carrying on the tradition for 65 years from her father and grandfather Giuseppe, who came from Italy in the late 19th century. There are 14 Greenhouses and approximately 40 acres of very fertile mostly organic farm land. Two natural spring continuously provides unlimited pure water for the entire farming and greenhouse operation. The business is famous for its amazing variety of fresh flowers, beautiful hanging baskets, fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. They also grow numerous house plants, mums and pumpkins. They also specialize in various exotic plants. A few of which are fig, lime & lemon trees, cactus, ferns and Jade.

The fruits, vegetables and herbs have such amazing natural flavor. The flowers provide so much joy and color whether in the garden, hanging basket, flower boxes or as house plants. The mums and trees are hardy and beautify any garden, or lawn. The pumpkins are colorful, fun to carve and delicious baked in pies and other treats.

These could easily converted to good private roads. The upper levels enjoy stunning valley views. Views of the Catskills could be had by some clearing on the virgin western boundary. That land area has an abundance of top soil to provide lush green areas for possible residential development.
