Take a drive two hours from the city through the scenic landscape of the Western Catskills to find a quiet dead-end road that's home to 5.2 acres of picturesque raw land ready to become the countryside retreat you've been envisioning. Look up to soaring evergreens and paper birch trees, surrounded by lush ferns and native New York shrubbery—the kind of privacy you don't have to build. As you stroll the property, you'll find two natural clearings waiting for whatever upstate retreat you've had in mind all these years. Whether it's a tech-free glamping site or an ultra-modern new build, Manor Acres is the blank canvas for your upstate escape.
Manor Acres sits on a quiet rural road in Livingston Manor, but Main Street is less than 10 minutes away when you're ready for some fun. Start with a fluffy biscuit sandwich at The Walk-In or grab local provisions and an espresso at Main Street Farm, then browse Seasons for a new upstate-inspired fit. When evening hits, settle in at Sunshine Colony for a crispy cocktail before heading to Threshold for some of the best Korean food in the Catskills.

Note: There's an old structure on the property that appears to have once had electricity and plumbing, though it's unknown if either still work. The structure is in rough condition and access is not permitted.
