Nestled within a recently divided 163-acre parcel, this picturesque 9.73-acre property offers an idyllic escape. Enjoy the privacy of your own land while having access to a shared 100-acre common area with scenic trails and natural wonders. Set within a protected area, the eight lots in this division have been transferred to new owners, and none can be further subdivided due to conservation easements. The property features a choice of two building envelopes on nearly level ground, allowing you to create your dream home amidst a mixed hardwood and conifer forest. Varied gentle terrain and the absence of wetlands make this land both versatile and enjoyable. An existing unpaved road borders the southwest side of the property, providing convenient access from Dodge Road. Recent clearing and trail development invite exploration, and the property’s walkability makes it easy to envision its potential. Located directly across Dodge Road from the 350-acre Town of Pawling Lakeside Park, residents can enjoy a range of recreational activities including ball fields, a lake, a beach, a pond, pickleball, and hiking trails. Just 2.4 miles away, the Pawling Metro North station and the charming Village of Pawling offer easy access to commuting and a vibrant array of shops, restaurants, boutique hotel, galleries, pubs, and a seasonal farmer’s market. The trailhead to Cat Rocks, a stunning section of the Appalachian Trail with breathtaking views, is a mile from your doorstep. The Pawling Metro-North Train Station offers easy access to New York City, just 90 minutes away by train. Board of Health approval is currently underway and will sell with approval in place. This exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to own a private sanctuary in one of the Hudson Valley’s most desirable locations.
