Steeped in a rich 19th-century history of logging and bluestone quarrying, this extraordinary 19+ acre mountaintop retreat offers a rare blend of historic character, natural grandeur, and modern building readiness. Located just two hours from New York City and five minutes from Route 97, this secluded property provides ultimate privacy with effortless, municipality-maintained road access right to your entrance at the end of Swanerbury Road. The landscape is a masterpiece of nature and history. Walk the remnants of historic trails where timber and stone were once hauled to build NYC's iconic sidewalks. Today, the land features towering hemlocks, wild flowering trees, dramatic stone formations, and a peaceful private pond. The beautiful waters of Mill Brook Stream border the eastern line, carving a stunning landscape through unique valleys, plateaus, and usable creek-side terrain. Development Ready & Flexible Investment. Whether you want to build your dream home or develop the land, the heavy lifting has already been done. The property features: Permit-Approved Plans: Formally approved site and building plans for a striking architectural "A-Frame" home (building permit already issued). Surveys Complete: Comprehensive topography survey available for immediate review. Subdivision Potential: Formally recognized options to subdivide the 19+ acres. Financial Flexibility: Owner financing available for well-qualified buyers. The Ultimate Catskills Lifestyle While completely secluded, you are walking distance to the Delaware River and minutes from the region's best attractions, including Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center, Holiday Mountain and Big Bear skiing, local farmers markets, and quaint dining towns in the Delaware River Valley.
