57 Boettger RoadCallicoon, NY 12723Price: $249,000

Prime opportunity in the desirable Beechwoods area of Callicoon! This 19.65-acre property offers a lovely mix of open fields, woods, views, a spring-fed pond, privacy, stone walls, big open skies -- and total privacy. The long red-shale driveway off of a dead-end road leads to open fields surrounded by woods, which the former farmland of the Beechwoods is famous for. As such, the property offers many home-site opportunities: high on the gently sloping meadow, mid-field surrounded by acreage, edge of the woods, or nestled within the forest. A seasonal camp-style cabin provides a place to crash and enjoy the land while you build. It has electricity, but no well or septic, as you'd want to install those at your eventual home site. Spectrum cable is at the road. This is an easy property to access and explore. The terrain is level to gently sloping, and its south-facing exposure ensures all-day sunshine -- perfect for a solar-enhanced home. A small red-shale bank in one corner provides all the material you need to maintain the driveway. Located 5 minutes from the bustling hamlet of Callicoon, with its restaurants, shops, farmer's market, and Delaware River access. Two hours NYC.
