Tbd Vly, Olivebridge, NY 12461

One private mountaintop, 101 acres, sweeping 360-degree views. Acreage of this scale and collection of attributes is a rarity. In fact, over the past decade, there have been zero public sales of 100+ acre properties in Olive. Spanning four tax parcels in Olive (101 acres), Vly Summit rises more than 300 feet from a quiet town road to a private 1,100-ft plateau, the natural site for the main house. Once the summit is cleared, the views will run in every direction: both basins of the Ashokan Reservoir and all high peaks of the Catskills to the north and west and the Shawangunk Ridge from Mohonk to Minnewaska to the south. The land rises in tiers, creating multiple potential homesites with north-facing reservoir views and west-facing Catskill views. The owners have already completed extensive clearing, opening outstanding views north over the Ashokan to the Catskill peaks beyond. For a private compound, the separate tax parcels allow for a main house, guest house and caretaker's cottage, each in its own setting and linked by internal roads. The approximately 2 miles of roughed-in roads including 1 mile of finished gravel road, double as a private trail network where you can hike for hours without leaving your land. The roads cross rolling hillsides and long, flat terraces, pass impressive rocky outcroppings and run beside historic stacked stone walls, built by hand by the farm families who once worked these fields. Farther on, old bluestone quarries hold enough stone to finish every road on the property. For developers with an eye toward subdivision, the land is zoned at one dwelling per 3 acres (R/R-3A) offering the potential to create additional building lots, subject to each town's code and approval. Access is via Vly Road in Olive. Clearing and roadwork are ongoing. For a buyer with vision who values the ultimate level of privacy, where every day begins with the privilege of waking to unparalleled mountain views and ends under the moon and stars as the sole source of light, this is a property not to be missed.
