Escape to the hills of Albany County and discover your own private haven on this secluded 3.5-acre off-grid retreat. Located at L55 Arnold Road in Rensselaerville, this rare property blends rustic charm with modern comfort-ideal for weekend getaways, seasonal living, or laying the foundation for your future dream home. Set far back from the road by a 350-foot gravel driveway, the land offers total privacy with electric service available at the road. At the heart of the property is a 35-foot Coachman fifth-wheel camper, fully equipped with two bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen, a gas range, and a refrigerator tucked under a spacious 12x30 covered deck that looks out toward the Catskills and paints the sky with glowing sunsets. For added comfort and year-round use, a charming 12x12 insulated cabin, complete with heat, welcomes extra guests or offers a cozy four-season escape. The landscape is truly a sanctuary, featuring a 12-foot deep spring-fed pond with a sandy beach, a stone patio with a fire pit, and a tranquil gazebo for stargazing or morning coffee. This thoughtfully designed homestead includes fruit-bearing apple and pear trees, fenced-in raised garden beds, a solar-powered 1,000-gallon chlorinated water system, and even a natural tree pergola for outdoor cooking. It's as self-sufficient as it is scenic. Located just minutes from Route 145, 20 minutes to Windham, an easy drive to Albany, and only 2 hrs from the GW Bridge, this off-grid oasis offers a unique mix of serenity, sustainability, and adventure. Whether you're looking to unplug and recharge or create a future full-time retreat, this versatile property delivers peace, privacy, and endless potential.
