One-of-a-kind properties like this rarely become available, especially in the highly sought after town of Accord. If you're a buyer that seeks the ultimate level of privacy and the prospect of owning your own nature preserve at the end of a dead end road, it's a property you must see to fully appreciate. Highlights include: - 1/2 mile of PetersKill river frontage with private access to multiple swimming holes and water falls; - miles of hiking trails that weave their way along the river, through fields of ferns, deep woods and various rock outcroppings directly through permanently conserved land into Minnewaska State Park; - both near and distant mountain views; surrounded on all sides by hundreds of acres of forever wild land that will never be developed other than by what you choose to do on the 46+ acres; - abundant wildlife of all shapes and sizes as part of the daily experience due to the property's remote setting; and - a very productive fruit orchard provides apples, pears, peaches and blueberries and a large vegetable garden produces a healthy volume of seasonal vegetables. The solidly-built barn style home sits perched on a hill overlooking the forest and river below. With some renovations/updates, it could serve as a primary residence or a guest house for someone that wants to build a separate primary residence. The most obvious homesite has spectacular views of the Catskills and the property would make an ideal family compound. The adjacent barn and machine shed can be used for farming purposes or can be repurposed for an alternative use. While being fully immersed in nature, it's just a few minutes to various points of interest in Accord including the Accord Market, Saunderskill Farm, Westwind Orchard, Arrowood Brewery and Inness.
