Escape to the Catskills and build the mountain retreat you've always imagined. Tucked away along a quiet private road in the scenic hills of Lexington NY, this beautiful 5.8-acre parcel offers the rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and ready-to-build convenience--all just 2.5 hours from New York City.
The journey is part of the experience, winding through rolling farmland, open meadows, and classic Catskill landscapes before arriving at this peaceful wooded setting. A roughed-in gravel driveway leads to a sunny homesite already positioned for your future dream home. Much of the preliminary work has been completed, including a recent survey, approved septic design for a 4-bedroom residence, septic location staked in the field, and nearby electric service--saving valuable time and expense as you move toward construction.
Mature evergreens create a sense of seclusion, while historic hand-laid stone walls and wild apple trees add timeless Catskill character. The gently rolling terrain offers excellent southern exposure, bathing the property in sunlight throughout the day and creating the perfect backdrop for spectacular sunset views. With selective clearing, long-range mountain vistas--including views toward Hunter Mountain--could be further enhanced.
Whether you're envisioning a full-time residence, weekend getaway, this location places you in the heart of four-season recreation. Minutes from Windham, Hunter, and Belleayre ski resorts, you'll also enjoy easy access to hiking, fishing, mountain biking, farmers markets, golf, and the charming villages that make the Catskills such a sought-after destination.
A property where much of the hard work is already done and the possibilities are endless. Bring your plans, your vision, and your dreams--your Catskills adventure starts here.
